[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 9635949, member: 67296"] I had this nice jacket. Sheepskin bomber style, really heavy and warm. I loved it and wore it until it practically fell apart. Now I have a new one, very similar but you know, not quite the same. It has buttons instead of a zipper, it’s not as heavy and not as warm, which is an advantage in-between seasons really. It’s not exactly the same shade of brown and though I’ve been told this one fits me better, I still miss the old one. It’s just a jacket, nothing to be really upset about, but I care about those little changes and preferred the old one. Only, I feel I can’t really wear the old one. Not in presence of my wife anyway. My relationship with D&D is similar; it’s a bunch of little changes over a product that is essentially the same and in some ways superior, but that I don’t like as much. While nobody is going to disown me if I play the old version, I’m encouraged to play the new one because it fits better, and it’s not falling apart. Yet I like the older one better, flaws and strengths and all. I grew into it and felt attached in ways that are not rational. It feels silly to spill digital ink over this yet here I am, longing for my old jacket and 5.0. [/QUOTE]
