[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7463381, member: 6779196"] Im not appealing to popularity there. I’m using the term to describe a nonspecific plurality, and to specifically avoid using terms like “most,” which I would have no way of knowing. Did your eyes just gloss over the “for me” part? I’m not trying to make any claims about PF2 being some kind of great 4e revival or anything. I just see in it a lot of what I personally liked in 4e. I’ve heard from other 4e fans who have said the same (there, I dropped the word “lots” since that seemed to bother you). I’ve heard from other 4e fans who have said otherwise too. Doesn’t stop me from being excited to see those mechanics in a popular game again, or from being amused at the fact that it’s Pathfinder of all things I’m seeing them in. Yes, which is why I currently run and play 5e. Fortunately, Pathfinder is also pretty popular. That’s another part of the reason I’m excited to see it adopting 4e-isms I care about. [edit] Huh, I guess I did use the word “evidence” there. Poor choice of words on my part. I should have said, “that suggests to me.” I’m not trying to present a case about the preponderance of 4e fans just waiting in line to jump on the PF2 band wagon. I’m saying, in my personal experience, I and some of the other 4e fans I’ve spoken to about it, think PF2 looks pretty neat, and I appreciate the irony in the possibility that I and a not insignificant number of other 4e fans might stop playing D&D and start playing Pathfinder. Is that phrasing precise enough for you?[/edit] Then, in spite of all of your attempts to prove wrong a point I’ve never been making, we are in agreement. [/QUOTE]
