[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4440060, member: 35909"] Pretend you're Stephen Colbert and go solely with your "gut." Don't believe the complaints people lob against either edition unless you've found them true yourself. I still don't see why 4e is like a videogame at all, no matter how often it's said. For every point that 4E like videogames has more generic similarities in the capalbilites of characters, there's a point about the massive list of accumulated items and greater importance of gear in general of 3E. I still don't see calculating XP in 3E to be hard, cause in my experience, I've gotten used to it. Just need a calculator and either a decent memory or somewhere to write to later add up each amount together. Heck, after a while, you even start noticing the trends in amounts and rate of change. So I'll never be affected by either of those. If you liked a system before, there's no reason a new, very different one should change that. In my case, I didn't like 4e on its own merits from the beginning, absent of how it's different from 4E (heck, I prefer 2E). I'd find it equally silly if some new person got introduced to D&D by 4E, played a few years and enjoyed it, then discovered 3E and suddenly "hated" 4E. [/QUOTE]
