Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mercurius" data-source="post: 4277858" data-attributes="member: 59082">When 3e came out, I don't remember lots of 2e hold-outs; it seemed that the general, if not complete, consensus was that 3e was superior to 2e in almost every way, and represented a significant upgrade in the core game structure (especially seeing as D&D had, finally and inevitably, <s>evolved</s> changed to a core mechanic). But now, with 4e out, I have noticed a lot of resistance. It seems that more folks are sticking with the previous edition this time around than last.So what about it? Are you happy to move on with the flow of D&D evolution? Or do you see 4e as a step in the wrong direction, and are sticking with 3e? Or did you never stop playing 2e or 1e, or have decided to go back?I'm also interested in hearing the whys and whats. I am buying 4e, but haven't played in a few years--I didn't upgrade to 3.5e--but am tentatively thinking about getting a game together some time in the future, if my life permits it. So while I want the latest edition of D&D, I'm trying to get a sense of how 4e differs from previous editions (partially 3 and 3.5), mainly through why some people aren't changing with the times.Polls can be misleading, but I'll throw one in here just to get some numbers to look at.</blockquote>
