Have you guys already made up your mind about your starting character?

Not when you have plenty of abilities per char. I very much like the 4 chars idea.

Fireball cleric. Because it's EA and I don't normally play cleric.

They said they changed it and it will be higher than that.

It just goes to show the kind of faggots this game is made for.

Nigger, I've been consistently talking up 5E for the better part of half a decade.

I guess there is no hope for you then, I am truly sorry.

Then you need to trot your little Critical Role ass to Barnes & Noble and pick up some 2nd Edition and 3.5 or I'll smack the shill out of your mouth next time you say that dumb shit.
Y'HEAR? GO ON NOW, GIT, GIT.

I never understood why 3e/3.5e is so popular. Heavily dumbed down and streamlined compared to AD&D.
Homogenized XP tables(it totally makes sense that a fighter and wizard advance at the same rate!), multiclassing became retarded with many higher levels being 'dead' levels and most classes having important things frontloaded(PF fixed this to a certain degree,) we can blame the favoring/standardization of multiclassing for getting rid of kits in favor of more multiclassing(Again, pathfinder fixed this with archetypes,) beginning of the homogenization of races in many ways(which is almost at the point where they have no real reason to exist now), did away with the tables in favor of standardized everything, I could continue...
3e was just a bunch of standardization, streamlining, and dumbing down.
Basically the only good things it did right was ascending AC and feats.
3.5e lacks the soul of AD&D, something that A&D 2E managed to retain and improve upon because they never set out to make an entirely new D&D game.

Yeah but it's still better than 5E.

If 3.5 dumbed it down, then 5E put it on government disability.
That's HARD FACTS.
That's HARD FACTS.
I mean, you just explained why it was so successful/popular. What makes fans dislike the 3rd edition is exactly what several new people like it.

But it was eclipsed by Pathfinder which moved in the opposite direction. Then they drove Pathfinder into a brick wall with 2E doing the same exact thing.

3.5 is an ok system, the crux is the many loops and massive useless content that got shit over all over the years during production cycle in WOTC.
As for 5E its a pretty controlled rpg system, but this amount of control reflect on character customization. You will have classes looking almost the same no matter the person is playing with, so I'd say 5E is an excellent entry level system for new people, but if you are a person that love all aspects of RPGs that is roleplaying summed with making a build that reflects your character personality that works in system then 5E falls apart.

That's fine and all and I can kinda agree with you but NOT when this is said to defend the hot garbage that is 5E.

Looks like we've found the first EA bug. "Fireball cleric cannot shoot fireballs."

It has COOP and 5E, normies and scrublors will likely love it, we already have some fags like that in this very thread. I loath the game but it'll likely do super well, that's the point of the trashy dev choice and the sellout use of the good BG name.
