[QUOTE="Wrathamon, post: 7742896, member: 7989"] This goes a long way. I appreciate the response. for me it has to do with reading things like "first introduced in ..." "never played 5e so not aware of what they are doing" paraphrasing but as a video game designer for 20+ years ... I play everything. And, I am honest when we get inspired by other games. If I read an article, or interview mentioning hey yes we loved some of the changes that 5e & 4e did and we feel our spin on those same ideas is what's good for pathfinder, then I might be more interested in it. I've read more of we're doing our own thing and yet those ideas are so similar that it feel disingenuous to me. I dont care if they are similar, or complete clones of mechanics. Good idea is a good idea. I just want to feel like it's not paizo being afraid of the backlash if they mention the other game as inspiration or do you truly believe that PF2 is completing designed in a pathfinder 1 vacuum? I have to admit ... I normally do not have negative emotional feelings when a new game comes out. If anything I'm the opposite. I am actually not having any bad feelings about the game designs I am reading. It's the PR. thank you for your time [/QUOTE]
