Yeah I’ve watched play videos of ODND, and it isn’t the same game as 2e ADND, much less any of the last few editions.I'm sure a lot of people mod the heck out of their games, but I probably run 98% according to the rules. Same for most people I've played with for the last couple of editions. That includes a couple of games with WOTC employees.
I think editions matter to most people when they are using rules to move the game forward. On the other hand, most social interaction and exploration (with the exception of 4E's skill challenges) have always been pretty much the same.
What the video seems to be saying is that a Model T is the same as a Tesla. I, and my brother in law who loves his Tesla (I'm not a fan), would disagree.
Everybody has a take, though.
