I can't really compare it to 3E or 4E, since I'm an AD&D man myself, but I agree with a lot of the comments above. It does play fast, but Bolt is really deadly, and so are large numbers of foes. The fact that you can shoot someone (or stab them, etc), hit them, and basically do nothing  bothers me a bit. Many "hits" on a tough foe will do nothing at all. I guess that 's a matter of taste. It might the same number of hits to bring down a high level AD&D fighter, but all of those hits had some effect (they took away some HP) while in SW, most of the hits had no game effect at all. As someone wrote above, a different mindset is needed.The other thing about damage is that nameless minion #12 could take out the most experienced character with one shot. Its very unlikely, but it can happen. Some may see that as a bad thing, some as a good thing.The system is simple, so its a bit coarse-grained. There's stuff that you just can't do. I also prefer the orginal Deadlands to SW, but the group I game with prefers SW, so I play it.</blockquote>
