[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8241075, member: 12731"] We too shattered 5E, and we too moved over to PF2. The difference is that I don't let PF2 get away with its flaws. [B]I only criticize games I care for and invest in.[/B] If PF2 didn't have a core of really good gameplay, I would hardly have bothered. It is against the backdrop of really cool and exciting combat the flaws of PF2 become so very irritating. The game could have been soo much better, and the sad thing is that for the most part it's relatively trivial things that bog down the game. That is, for the most part it is easy to see a much improved CRB. Just to take two quick examples: first, the fatal decision to suck all the fun out of magic items 4E-style. Second, there is no reason for the paranoiacally* restrictive earn income/crafting rules. (I say "trivial" because in the greater context coming up with a reasonable set of such rules actually is relatively easy.) [SIZE=3][I]*) Yes I had to look that up[/I][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
