[QUOTE="TheArcane, post: 3785648, member: 31116"] 4E is gradually losing me. The more I think about it, the more I realize it's not because of specific changes (some of which I find interesting and some of which I find at best strange, at worst worrying), but because of the scope of them. The more news I hear, the more I realize just how many changes there are and how radical they are. Somebody earlier wrote that the definition "radical" is subjective. He is entirely right, and for me removing staple core races, completely changing how magic works, adding new, never before seen classes, are all very very radical changes. Also like it was mentioned earlier in this thread, I believe it is very ironic that WOTC keep saying that D&D will stay D&D, while all of the above is taking place. It is going to be a very different game, with a different tone and mood, with different mechanics and different concepts. It may be a good game, and I believe that the designers are doing their best to make sure the game plays very well and smooth, but it's just not going to be the same. And i'm even young enough to never have played 2E and earlier, only in Interplays computer games, I can only imagine how older gamers (who agree with me on this, of course) feel. [/QUOTE]
