[QUOTE="cthulhu_duck, post: 3823231, member: 12809"] What I was interested in was a refined and polished 3.5 than a whole new edition. Some of the art, in particular the nose-spikes on the chromatic dragons. The platform choices made for the DDI programs. More books, not less books seemingly to get the same options as the core 3E material. The spin that's coming from the blogs and other Wizards promotional material that instinctively makes me distrustful. I want to like something because it's something I like, not because someone's been telling me I'll like it for nine months. This feels much more like Microsoft's attempt to sell me Vista. Automatic criticals that should occur 5% of the time (1 in 20 chance). The solution to problematic 3E rules seemingly being to remove that option from the game rather than try and find a solution. What feels like limited and rushed playtesting, with the core rules apparently already locked in. This suggests the playtesting may be to only identify areas where two rules combine to cause problems, prompting some sub rule to override the problematic combination. [/QUOTE]
