I finished up Oblivion, well finished enough quest lines to feel finished. Since I had the game of the year edition, there are a lot of quest lines.

I started up Neverwinter Nights 2 which I gather is based on D&D 3.5 rules. Character creation and progression in D&D 3.5 appears to be several orders of magnitude more complex than the D&D I played many, many moons ago. I think it might be a bit of overkill for a computer game.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

You are correct. 4.0 simplified it a bit.

You are correct. 4.0 simplified it a bit.

Probably for the best, though maybe it plays out differently with pen & pencil. I bet there must be epic online debates somewhere.

Mostly I think people like 4.0 better.

Not to start a huge fight, but 4.0 sucks, and is seriously broken as a p'n'p game.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I miss gaming, too.
