[QUOTE="Derren, post: 6411538, member: 2518"] Technically every RPG has the same amount of "options" as in the player says what he wants to do and the DM adjusting the game according to that. Yet if the system does not give any guidelines and toold on how to adjust the game world you are freeforming and in that case why have the system at all? 4E did not cover many things which fell outside of its narrow Points of Light dungeon crawl focus so you have to freeform a lot of times, or, a problem 5E also has, only provides very basic rules which do not support versimilitude very much like every character being equally good because he is an "adventurer". Here 3E simply offers the best system of all D&D editions by having a not too simple (I did not find it complicated at all) and also comprehensive skill system. [/QUOTE]
