FASA created some really cool worlds, but they really could not make good rules. Used to GM 1st-3rd edition. And it was a nightmare as every subsystem had it's own rules that did not mesh at all, and rules for magic changed in every extra splatbook that dealt with magic. That said, so far, I would have preferred 3rd ed char-gen (for the extra hobby-skills etc that fleshed out the characters), with 2nd ed rules (and 1st ed rules for Karma). Then put that in the 2nd ed setting. Yes, I want the initiative from 1st and 2nd ed as that meshed with the fiction of how stuff like Wired Reflexes worked (so in that case screw game balance)I can understand why they did a complete overhaul of the rules in 4rth edition, but they really made a mess out of it as far as I can recall (and 5fth did not help). I do hope that this edition is playable. The comments about the editing makes me worry though.</blockquote>
