Stephens" data-source="post: 4030046" data-attributes="member: 3190">While I may regret stepping into this:I'm trying to give an overall impression of my opinion of the game. That overall impressions is positive. I have no -overall- negative opinions.There are specific elements I like more and those I like less. I can only comment on specific elements if they're already common knowledge, whether I liked them or not. I like dragonborn, for example. I sometime walk the line a bit, and say I like how races are presented. But, sadly, I can't tell you -why- I like that yet.There are things (like a lack of gnomes or bards in the PHB), that I see as non-issues, because those options will be available soon enough. If I thought there would never be playable gnomes, I'd have a different opion. As it is, that's not a game-system question, that's just order of presenations.Even when there are things I don't like, they fall into two categories. There are things I don't personally like, but aren't going to bother me in a way that detracts from the game. Many of these are green/blue type issues. I might prefer my car be blue, but it's green. When talking about how good my car is, I'm unlikely to mention its color at all. If my car were bright yellow poka-dots on plaid, I'd have to mention that.Other things are specific items, not yet in the public eye, which are subject to change anyway. I can't talk about them in any case, and even if I could I wouldn't because they may change. I have no interest if having people form opinions from my input based on things that may not be in the final version, good -or- bad. Once -I- see the final version, I can comment on specifics, and likely will.I mainly want to talk about my 4e experiences because a: I have friends overseas who have asked me to keep them as up to date as I can, and my blog is the easiest way to do that and b: it's good for my freelance career for companies to know I'm already familiar with 4e.So, my vague, detail-free, overall opinion is that I like 4e, and I'm pretty sure I like it better than 3e/3.5e. YMMV, obviously.And just to set the record straight, while my public opinion probably is for sale, no one in their right mind is going to meet my price.</blockquote>
