[QUOTE="Catavarie, post: 2158761, member: 30451"] I have to say that when I started RPGing it was with Palladium, I got the jist of things quickly and I always did, and still do so to this day, love the extreme custimization of characters, so when i first picked-up D&D 2e, i was like cool, then the trouble started, i felt like my character was way too generic, it was as if all dwarf fighters where the same, no sense of indiviuality, the combat system took me years to begin to understand, i was constantly asking my DM ok what do I need to roll? And THAC0? What the hell kind of dope were they smoking anyways? So when 3e came out i firgured well i'll grab it and flip thorugh but don't htink I'm gonna keep playing, and low and behold they changed the game to be much more intuitive for rolls, and development, and more custimizable and all without taking the 4 hours a palladium character could easily take. You now know that you want to roll high for everything, as opposed to figuring out wheither high was good or high was bad. So i have to say that I do indeed enjoy 3e and 3.5 much more than 2e, but then again I never had a chance to play the original, but if its got THAC0 then I don't want to. [/QUOTE]
