Every time I turn around on these boards, I see something else that someone doesn't like about the mechanics of SR4 , be it skill caps, the technomancer and how they work, the strength of spirts, on and on. It seems that everything is rule based, and that these are the sorts of things that could have been ironed out with a little more time and care. Am I off base on this? I don't have the book yet (he keeps telling me next Friday!), so I'm not talking from my personal view point, jsut what I have seen thus far.
So I'm sitting here wondering if this could possibly go the way of D&D. They realized that some of the rules they left in with their new edition just didn't work right, and sold a revamped version. Anyone think that this is likely? Or would they possibly revise such weird things as the strength of spirits in Errata? Are spirits supposed to be that powerful !? (Sorry off topic) I know at some point Adam or Bull or someone is going to say "no, there are no plans for a SR4.5", but there weren't any plans for a SR4 for the longest time either. ANd then there it was. Thoughts? |
