Then a sequel came out, that wasn’t as good, but was way more popular? Sure, you’re happy that the series is finally getting the recognition it deserved, but you know that most of the newcomers aren’t going to go back and play the originals. And you can’t even blame them - those older entries are amazing, but the graphics have aged really poorly, and the later games have a lot of quality of life improvements that would make the old ones feel really inconvenient to anyone who got into the series with the new games. So, while you’re glad people are getting into the series, it kinda sucks knowing that this newest entry will probably be seen as the definitive example of the series, when to you, it’s just the inferior casual-friendly version.That’s kinda how this feels. I love Nentir Vale. I love that it might finally get the attention it deserves. But it’s kind of a bummer that new folks will be getting what feels like the more casual-friendly sequel. And I very much doubt that many who are introduced to it through Mearls’s Vale are going to go back and read the source material in books for an outdated version of the game, let alone actually play 4e. More likely, Mearl’s Vale is what most people are going to think of when they hear “Nentir Vale.” And that’s too bad, cause the original is (in my opinion) so much better.</blockquote>
