ATOW actually simplified it somewhat (in my opinion) compared to previous editions of Mechwarrior. The lifepaths are shorter and less complex than they used to be...or at least they seemed to be, when I read through ATOW on the way home from GenCon. There's the distinct possibility I was just totally exhausted and I'm misremembering.

Dude, it ATOW is SIMPLER . . i don't think i want to try what was before . .
Also, still very much possible and highly probable that you will lose a limb or sensory organ in character creation . . |

The lifepaths in MW3rd were complicated to say the very least. But, aside from all the math you end up doing at the end to finalize the character, actually rolling through the paths can be quite fun. Give your players 2 characters to roll from scratch using the normal rules (edge burn to reroll or +/- 1 to the result) and them the pick the one they prefer, in case one gets totally screwed out of being a mech pilot.

QUOTE (KarmaInferno @ Nov 1 2011, 07:48 PM) One of my greatest Battletech miniatures moments was surviving 150+ incoming long range missiles. I'd made a particularly unwise move and ended my turn in range of 8 enemy units, all with LRM racks. After a massive amount of D6s being rolled, the results were... not a single missile hit. We decided the missiles had all hit each OTHER on the way in, and there was an area of scorched devastated ground with a little bubble in the middle containing one untouched mech, who's pilot had soiled his pants. -k I would say best one I had a wolverine and did Death From Above over and over on a Stalker and walked away |
