[QUOTE="jollyninja, post: 260291, member: 3208"] speaking on behalf of the dragonlance fanboys, well put. that was the one good thing about fifth age dragonlance. there were no heroes saving the world. sure you had some powerful npc's in the world but they were not going to get the job done. post war of souls seems to be set up in a more playable way. there are powerful groups but many of the figures that so dominated dragonlance novels and gaming products are no longer prominent. much of the baggage has been dropped flat on it's face. though a few decades/centuries later is the time i hope to see it set in not the following week. i think detailing the areas of ansalon that have not been touched in the novels will go a long way toward making it more playable. also if the pantheon of gods leaves the setting again, i go with them. novel fans may want the rest of the story but gamers want to decide that themselves. while i enjoy the novels, i want to play dragonlance, i want my character to matter, give me something to work with you bastards, not a bunch of npc's who i can assist in saving the world. game designers for DL seem to have been stuck in hero worship mode in the past. just give me the info, let me do with it what i please.
