[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8113333, member: 42040"] When it's literally the only example of play for a new system of a game, it should be done right, or it should be corrected with errata. Paizo has had the response of "We designed the game we wanted. We don't care if you don't get it. We're not going to help." The APs should teach players how to play and GMs how to GM, especially when it's the first one out of the gate. Yet, they seem to think we're all masters of running a system that hadn't even been out a month when the AP was released. How in the heck are we supposed to know how to adjust encounters? How are we to know how often to let characters use Treat Wounds - and are they expected to be at 100% strength every combat? How are we supposed to know you absolutely can never put encounters together? How are we supposed to know that if you don't split your monsters' turns (like you did in every other edition of the game), that they gang up and wipe out parties? I mean, I'm still going to run PF2 because my players want to finish the campaign, but my lord this system has killed modern gaming for me - when even 4E didn't do that. I am jumping on to the OSR scene in all my future games. PF2 is making my eyeballs bleed. There is so much that it can't do.
