I will most likely continue playing it.Unfortunately since all of the classes use the same mechanics, none are easier to play than others. Why do I care, because the wife has no interest in playing it. She likes rolling a d20 and smacking badites, not playing a Vancian Fighter. She has played D&D3e for the past 5 years or so and has had a blast rolling her d20 and could care less about resource management. She would NEVER want to play a spellcaster.I think when 4e increased the learning curve for the game by making all the classes use the exact same mechanics, it took something away from newer players. If all I had to introduce my wife to hobby was 4e, she would not have stayed with it.D&D to my wife is rolling a d20 hitting stuff. For that I will continue to use D&D3e, C&C, BRPG, or maybe even Pathfinder. For myself, by the end of the night after I have imbibed a bottle of wine and have forgotten to mark my enemies or marked another player's enemy, it feels a little less like D&D to me.</blockquote>
