[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7942913, member: 6987520"] Well, I only played 3E for about half a year, and never played 4E. From looking it over, and PathFinder as well, I don't think I would like either of them really. I know a lot of people do, and I think its great. But much of my experience in 5E has been more about "Hey, look at what my character can do!" and not "Man, look what we just did." We still have a lot of the latter, don't misunderstand, but IMO we have too much of the former. I mean, look at how much time people spend making character builds in 5E compared to 1E or 2E. I am guilty of that myself and admit it. I never spent hours pouring over the 1E AD&D PHB, building up character to a level and planning things out. But, I spend a lot of time reviewing dozens of concepts and subclasses and features in 5E as I try to get familiar with them all. I explained to one of our new players: AD&D was a complex game, but characters were simple. 5E is reversed: the game is simple, but characters are complex. [/QUOTE]
