Voss said:I'm rather curious about this. What basis is there to claim that there isn't any reason to be skeptical? What amazing product has WotC put out that screams, 'We are masters of mechanical rules making', so there is no reason to be concerned in any way? Personally, I haven't seen them ever produce something that I'd call 'really good' quality, let alone ultra-high. Fair to good seems to be their normal limit, and they often don't even achieve that with the slew of splatbooks.
Well, I'm talking comparative to the rest of the industry. Personally I would put 3E/3.5E corebooks extremely high on the end of the quality scale compared to most of what came out of d20/OGL, and of RPGs in general circa 1999-2007. I just think that any major product they put out is very likely, on a basic level, to be quite a lot of fun, and quite playable. "System master" (aka "rules rapists", in a less PC time) may mess with it severely, but basically good quality stuff.
I'm actually kind of surprised you're even post on a 4E messageboard with such a low opinion of WotC. Am I missing something?
