[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 4078697, member: 3146"] It makes perfect sense when you put it like that. On the other hand, the net effect is exactly the same whether Andy said "Yeah, but only the good stuff because we want to fix the rest" or whether Andy said "You know we need a couple plants to write about how awesome 4th edition is while appearing to be disinterested observers, for your integrity I offer 30 silver pieces." (And really, if WotC were doing the latter, would they admit it publicly?) Either way the only "reviews" I read are so fawning they make internet fanfiction look good by comparison. By the time I had read three paragraphs, I couldn't tell if I was reading a fawning review or a parody of a fawning review. So from where I stand, there's about as much reason to trust this review as there is to trust a political campaign commercial. Especially if the tone resembles a fourteen year old telling you about how his first girlfriend is utterly and completely perfect. We'll see if it lives up to the hype, but in the meantime, you'll hopefully forgive me for not busting out the pompoms. [/QUOTE]
