I was ready for a new edition, and I am well aware of many of the flaws with 3e (it's a nightmare to prep for if you go off the beaten track, high level play becomes tedious rather than fun, there are just a few too many 'proud nails', and there are several cases where small but fundamental changes to the rules would make for a vastly better game experience). And, initially, it looked like the 4e designers has identified the problems I saw as being the biggest issues in the game, and were working towards fixing that.Unfortunately, what we've heard has left me gradually more and more disappointed. .The breaking point came with this "diagonals are 1 square" thing. That's not the only issue, but it's the one that takes my definate house rules to a longer list than I ever used in 3e. With the game not even being released yet, it's just too much.That said...Early on in the process there was an issue raised that was and is an absolute deal-breaker for me. I said way back then that if WotC reversed that decision then I would buy the three core rulebooks, no questions asked. I stick with that - if the issue in question is removed then I will buy the core rulebooks.Otherwise, though, I'm now working from the assumption that this game is just not for me.</blockquote>
