Playing a wizard who used it as his signature spell in 2e (usually starting it right in front of the fighters in front of me) I was quite disappointed in transitioning to 3e where it became the range 0 start and then 3.5 when it became a line with no fork option.Yeah, I always felt like removing this was a significant nerf to the spell. If a player asked, I'd probably allow it.
In 4e when you got a primary and two secondary targets at range the first time I used it the map position lined up so I described it as using the forked lightning bolt to catch the three targets.
