It's not the rules that bug me so much as the feel. Maybe I'm just an old fogey, but to me, the nine alignments, the Vancian magic system (that allowed for infinite creativity, as Mister Greenwood and many others showed us), the whole shebang, was what made D&D feel like the books I'd grown up reading. Now it just feels like someone tried to make a tabletop RPG that plays like a computer game -- but why would I play a P&P RPG that's like a computer game when I could just buy the computer game?
And then there's the way the Realms was torn apart and turned into Generic Fantasyland #587465, which is a whole 'nother thing...
4e just doesn't feel like D&D to me any more. |
