[QUOTE="Regicide, post: 4739867, member: 67552"] 4E has no affordance for RP. Sure, like Everquest you could RP, but it's you doing it almost in spite of the game, not with any help of it. Actually EQ promotes RP far more than 4E does. 4E is a mechanically balanced system of gold and XP and nowhere is there room for role play in it. Most games will give RP awards in their modules or can make allowances for family heirlooms that are level + 8, 4E... not so much. Alignment is meaningless in 4E, good and evil and redemption are common tropes but with no in-game consequences for what is in the alignment box on your character sheet, they lack any game meaning and are simply things you do without any assistance or consequence within the game. Anything done for or about RP is "tacked-on" and not a part of the game. [color=red]Hey, looky there! You won yourself a suspension for trolling!
