[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7739952"] I mean that's cool and fine and all. Personally I think it's great that PF2 is sticking to a much crunchier route. All the people who like complexity and crunch can have PF2 and all the people who like simplicity can have 5E. My initial concern with PF2 was that they were going to pull a typical corporate maneuver and make their product "just like that other guy" to capitalize on WOTCs success and directly compete with 5E. The only reason I ever really moved from 3.5 to PF1 in the first place was that I got in 3.5 late and PF1 was in active production and actively supported. But really there was too little change between the systems to provide any other incentive for me to switch. I moved to 4E because I really liked the system more than 3.5 or PF1. I moved to 5E because there was so much rampant hate for 4E I couldn't find a game (to run or play in). And I may move to PF2 because it's looking to have everything I like about PF1 mixed with the few elements I enjoy from 5E. But ya know, that's me. If crunch wasn't really ever your thing and you kinda skipped through editions until 5E, I can totally see why you don't want to move over to PF2, and reasonably, you probably shouldn't. [/QUOTE]
