This means players are relying heavily on the designers for their character concepts. If 5e were to pare down classes to the basic four, there better be lots of choice within those four classes. The current archetype system is not up to the task. Since DnD is a game about heroes doing over the top and amazing feats, players should have these feats match their character. A ranger as a fighter who takes the archery fighting style, and the outlander background is not as fully conceived, from a DnD point of view as the rogue. Classes make no sense, but are fun. I'm not against the idea, but if I'm letting the designers pick out the scope of my career, mechanically speaking, I prefer lots of choice. And no, this does not mean that I'm more interested in mechanics over roleplaying.</blockquote>
