[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 5349243, member: 63763"] However the accusations of it being dumbed down were mostly: (a) It eliminated the most expert only parts of 3.5 (so "not expert only enough) (b) It was mostly early on. Some people kept complaining, but it was mostly based on pre-release spoilers, or scanning over the books, etc ... The expert only accusation however had to do with actual play experience. Hindsight, instead of foresight/speculation. Also, part of the expert only issue is because of how the game has changed since the start. The original characters have a simple "structure" of gaining powers at specific levels, and feats at specific levels, etc. However, as the number of powers and feats increased, this increased the complexity that goes into building characters. Playing may not have changed much, but with more and more options available, building became more complex and increased the chance that someone may pick a suite of powers that don't really work well together (not to mention that a party may be built that doesn't work together well either, etc).
