Do you think 1st or 2nd edition is more complicated?

[QUOTE="stonehead, post: 9848579, member: 7047885"] Personally, I've never watched videos about P2, nor had it explained by anyone. I've been the persona explaining it to my group. I got the basic rules in a few hours, and read more deeply because I enjoy reading rpgs, even those I haven't played yet. P1 took me several weeks to understand. One thing to note though, P1 was my first ttrpg, and I got into it as a teenager. It's possible that I'm baised and the difference is that I'm smarter now, and not that P2 is necessarily simpler now. That's why I created the poll, to see what others think. Keywords and traits seem to be a big complaint for lots of people, but I never really saw the difficulty in hovering the mouse over something to see if it mattered. A crazy theory: maybe there's a difference between reading physical books and using Archives of Nethys. When traits are all hyperlinked, and you can see a preview on mouse hover, they're a lot more manageable. To those who complain about traits: Do you primarily read paper books, or browse websites?
