I still keep on using my 3rd edition stuff for various reasons.
1: too soon, 2: spent too much money on 3rd edition stuff 3: I still have to familirize with much of 3rd ed. mechanincs, esp. matrix and rigger 3. Anyway I'm intrigued by this new edition. The only thing I can say so far is that I do not like the new graphics, but I know this is not the real thing to judge. SO: I would like to ask anybody who played both 4th and and 3rd edition: a) what are the main differences? Please explain this shoprtly in a few-points-list. b) Do you thing 4th ed. is really an improvement? ( I've heard contrastant opinions so far). Please explain in a summary why. c) What do you prefer and suggest using? |
