[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7641809, member: 12731"] Not taking the bait. Is PF2 Paizo's 4E? If you mean will it resemble 4E mechanically, it does not seem so. (Unless you find 5E is similar to 4E, in which case you think everything is similar to 4E, and your opinion won't be taken seriously) If you mean will it be successful like 4E - that is, not successful at all, quickly followed by a revised edition, then dropped entirely, then, yes, unfortunately it seems there are quite a number of worrying indicators (as discussed upthread). In no case does the thread title invite us to have our discussion revolve around 4E. It is an edition thrown on the garbage heap, so why would we? All Paizo needs to do visavi 4E is avoid similarities, and that's all we need to hear from that edition. A much more relevant take would be: maybe PF2 will end up as the 4E of Paizo if they come across as oblivious to the advances offered by the edition Paizo's prospective customers ARE playing, namely 5E. So I'd say one interesting take is: in what areas is it clear PF2 has learned from 5E, and in what areas does PF2 come across as clueless to the standards expected by its players? [emoji846] [/QUOTE]
