[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6066277, member: 463"] For me it was definitely the thematic depth. The tactics per se don't interest me that much, eg I bought & played "Wrath of Ashardalon" but the tactics without the thematics just felt very flat to me. For tactical play I generally prefer more unit-based wargamey stuff; I get more tactical enjoyment commanding a squad of troops in a simple D&D game like Moldvay B/X than I do over 4e tactics as such. What I love in 4e is the GM gloating as his Goblin Hexer blasts & Dazes me and runs away, but then I do the 'wolf grin', pull out a trick combo of Action Point & Daily, charge after him, soak up the opportunity attacks from his bodyguards (taking me to about 20% of max hp), catch the little bugger and smear him all over the dungeon room. It was tactically a terrible choice but after 9 years of seeing 3e Fighters crippled by Will save fails, it was oh-so-satisfying and sold me on 4e. [/QUOTE]
