[QUOTE="Azgulor, post: 5219765, member: 14291"] Oh I had no doubt that you meant it the way you stated it. However, my phrasing is a bit easier to demonstrably illustrate than your overt slam. Seriously, just because you don't like some of the mechanics you know for a fact that game mechanics are a secondary concern to Paizo and that the game designers care about fluff over crunch? 'Cause it would seem counterproductive to me to develop a ton of fluff for a game no one wanted to play. Given that the Pathfinder RPG line is one of the pillars of their business plan and attempts to limit Golarion-specific content to the other lines, your assessment as originally written lacks a certain objective analysis. You can certainly cite all of the mechanics-related issues you have with the game but even having done so, you won't have proven that they intentionally sacrifice sound game mechanics for an increased emphasis on setting fluff. You'll merely have illustrated why the mechanics don't work for you. That's certainly an honest POV, although I find it a curious one to post in a "Sell Me on Pathfinder" thread. While the OP asks for an ID of the good and bad, the summary is "In short, what makes Pathfinder a good choice?" [/QUOTE]
