So, I figured I'd update on this thread now that I've played 4th Edition...
I actually did completely transfer to 4th. Not because I like it better, though. It was because all of my 3rd Edition shit got stolen. I actually do prefer 3rd still, but transferring editions wasn't as hard as finding all the 3rd shit again.
Anyway, there are things I really like about 4th and things I really don't like. Most of the things I don't like, though, don't have much to do with the game mechanics, but more so with WotC milking every fucking dime it's worth. At least four fucking Players' Handbooks?! That's shit. On that subject, I don't like the idea of something like 32 classes when all is said and done either. Then there's the shortened Monster Manual just so they can put out Monster Manual 2 a year later...
You know, corporate bullshit like that.
As far as game play, though, they did make everything much simpler, but, naturally, this means less customization options, which is the main reason I still prefer 3rd. I really do like the simplification of abilities with the whole at-will, encounter, daily, and utility power system.
Overall, 4th now has its place for me, but I really want my old 3rd Edition back.
Anybody else been playing 4th?
