[QUOTE="thecasualoblivion, post: 6877999, member: 59096"] Condescending, and fairly inaccurate. I liked 4E because it did combat well, not because it was combat centric. There were non-combat reasons as well. The character building side of 4E was very good, and 4E focused on being "big damn heroes" from level 1, as opposed to mundanity. Roleplaying was just fine in 4E, and I'm not seeing any more of it in the 5E I've played so far. If you couldn't roleplay in 4E, I see that more as a you problem. When did I say this? I did say I specifically didn't like going over mundane mostly empty rooms with a fine tooth comb, but there is much more to the game and to roleplaying than that. How exactly is 5E back to the story? When did the story ever leave? . [/QUOTE]
