It's like going to any specialist set of WoW messageboards for a specific class, or hardcore endgame raiding or whatever, and good grief, they'll see a minor change and tell you that it's the end of the game, that everyone is going to quit, that people on the board already have and so on. Six months later, most of the people who "quit" are posting happily about their characters/progression, and WoW's population is bigger than ever.I would like you to explain what bearing WotC "forcing" people to play the FR has on this discussion. I never mentioned any such thing, and it seems to be central to your viewpoint. No-one has ever, as far as I'm aware, forced anyone to play any setting, nor are they in 4E. So what are you on about?As for the NPCs, I like my detailed NPCs. I don't want or need someone else's detailed friendly NPCs, particularly when there is a 95% likelyhood their statistics will never see use (knowing that someone is a NG Elf Wizard level 14 is helpful, knowing their personality and history and having some hooks is great - having some important skills/areas of expertise is cool - having their entire stat block and skill list laid out is worthless to me and this is what 3E seemed to love to give me).I will not comment on the raging hilarity of "it makes a change" as a reason a Good magic-god being acceptable. I also think it's extremely funny that you, like so many others, seem to think that you are a "fan" of the FR, and that anyone who likes the 4E stuff is in some way not. Yeah, I guess that giant stack of 1E and 2E FR material shows how much of a Realm-hater I am. I'm going to go burn an effigy of Drizzt right now.</blockquote>
