[QUOTE="M_Natas, post: 9106596, member: 7025918"] I think one of the biggest Issues with 5e is, that people don't play RAW and then complain, when the game is lacking. Like, people just outright delete rules. They rip out chunks of the core game and then complain. Like a lot ot tables play without incumberance, tracking water and food and other resources and then complain that exploration sucks. But ressource management is 50% of exploration. Without it, most of exploration boils down to "when do we finally find it?". With the RAW rules you have to make decisions. Do we take the longer safer route, but use more food? Can we get sidetracked or will we run out of food? Do we go to this possible fresh water source or press on? Is 5e Exploration a great system? No, its not. It is an okay system. It does its job if you don't rip out rules that make it interesting. Then a lot of tables skip the early levels and then say, 5e feels to similar. You are a super hero and nothing else.
