[QUOTE="m4rtst3r, post: 6356217, member: 6777563"] I think when someone compares x.x edition to "World of Warcraft", it doesn't mean one thing. One could refer to: 1. De-emphasis on roleplay (there is little in a video game) 2. Railroading plots, ie how free a player feels 3. Spamming abilities, limited good actions so hitting same "button" over and over 4. Button pushing - which I am referring to when I compare a table top rpg to a mmo or video game rpg. What I mean is these contrived abilities that are added to a game over time to freshen the material, keep people interested in the product, add variance etc. these abilities often do not make sence Ina "real world" sense. "How come I can only perform a Crippling Blow once per day, if I have the skills why wouldn't I be able to do it over and over?" To me, 5e has less of these things than 4e. (I did not pull my example from 4e, just using a fictional example) But obviously peeps are different from each other, thank goodness. Right now I am just pleased to be in the midst of this excitement that 5e has brought! Game on, whether it is 3.5, add, 5e or even WoW! [/QUOTE]
