[QUOTE="nevin, post: 8098722, member: 7024481"] Me and a really good friend had a discussion awhile back that touched on this. He tried to tell me that D&D had been tactical. I pointed out that D&D was a Roleplaying game that used tactical combat but that pathfinder was a tactical game that had Roleplaying attached. He didn't like it but he finally had to agree that was true. I think that's why many roleplayers are just not accepting 2E. IMO it's like logging in and playing wow. Kill your monster, rest, kill your monster, rest. From a roleplaying perspective you lose all those great story arc's where for whatever reason healing isn't available and they lose 2 months recuperating before they can go back out again. And I know DM's can add all the roleplaying they want but the Game rules focus so much on combat and tactics that new DM's tend to never get passed that. [/QUOTE]
