"Lengthy, complicated RSEs you don't care about!" "Good goddesses of necessarily-neutral concepts!" "Detailing every tiny fraction of setting no matter how many times we said we wouldn't!" path of late 2E and 3E. I did stop spending money on the product, whereas I will almost certainly spend money on this product.As for all the attitude about "Oh but will it turn into commitment?", the only real deciding factor is likely to be the actual quality/usability of the FR books WotC put out. If they put out a ton of crap detailing places that I don't really care about esp. in uselessly crunch-tastic detail (I'd rather NOT know what level the King and his bodyguards are, thanks, then I can tailor it to fit my campaign without "contradicting" anything), and/or stuff that isn't useful to running a non-dungeon-delving FR campaign, then I'm not likely to buy it. If they fill books with "A PrC for every possible organisation!" and "More feats than you'll ever need!" like in 3E? Then I probably won't buy it.If they fill books with earlier-2E-style, or Shadowrun-style setting info, though, full of non-crunch goodness, adventure hooks in the best possible sense, stat blocks for cool and interesting monsters (not freakish good-aligned things...), FR-specific magic items with style (like in 1E/2E), pump out a nice campaign or ten and and remember to leave areas blank, and mysteries unsolved, then, well, they could take a lot of my money.</blockquote>
