Once again, just like with 4e, I feel the same way with this 5e or "D&D Next" or whatever they want to color it up as. I am feeling more disappointment the more I hear.
This isn't starting to sound like "Everyone from every edition can play the way they want from their favorite edition at the same table."
No, instead, this is starting to sound like,"Everyone at the same table can play with half of what their edition did best, but they're going to be stuck compromising and dealing with the other half that's not from their edition."
It's like this, WotC:
If I cannot take my 3e character sheet, EXACTLY THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN, and play it in D&D Next exactly the way I would have in 3e...then there's no point in playing this 5e.
Anyone else see my point? I mean, it's starting to sound like we're still better off playing what we have with our preferred edition, because it's sounding like I have to muddy up my 2e or 4e or whatever character sheet somewhat just for it to be able to work in D&D Next.
When I can see my Paladin/Cavalier/Fighter Human from 3.5e character sheet, completely untouched and unmodified, be able to work in this edition, than I'll believe WotC.
Otherwise, it's all just dust in the wind again.
