Why 5e?

[Minnow]

5e is awful, there are practically no customisation options. I suppose it kind of works at a table with simpletons who want to hand-wave interactions with advantage/disadvantage, but why would you base your game around it and not Pathfinder?

[volourn]

if you gonna go with Pathfinder just call it 3E b/c that is what Pathfinder is. That said, , as for your question, the answer is simple: why not? 5e, imo, is not as good as 3E but it still is pretty good.

[Grumpy Old Dude]

because this is a Dungeons and Dragons computer game. Not a computer game based on a DnD knockoff.

I meant Pathfinder as a whole, either 3/3.5/PF1e or PF2e. All are superior options.

I'm sure your friends(if you actually have any) all appreciate being called simpletons

Because pathfinder has illusion of choice. Maybe beg Owlcat to make a dedicated turn based game that is actually good instead of just slapping a crappy turn based mode that doesn't follow pathfinder faithfully.

That is your opinion. Isn't PF2 just 4e modified? I thought you guys left for pathfinder to get away from 4e and yet you guys just embraced it.

Also there are tons of character customizations in 5e but if you never played it then you will never know.

Because 5e is insanely popular.

Ah, a Taking20 fan. That guy's a clown and has no idea what he's talking about. It's nice to know people here can think critically and formulate their own opinions.

Dude I've played all four systems. I also have a friend that refuses to play any other system but 4e. When they took a look at PF2 and they got thrilled about it all while screaming it was 4e but better & completely switched over. The same developer that made 4e also worked on PF2. So yeah PF2 = D&D 4e. They even have the same WoW feel to it.

PF story and chara building was great the problem was the combat kiteing casters round wile shooting them or kiteing melees wile casting spells at them the TBM was alot better but not the one they made as they half ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it

[zero]

D&D has clout behind it that PF doesn't.

making a D&D game turns more heads then a PF one, even if i'd personally say kingmaker is better, especially when you consider how moddable it is

[bbii]

Because to do Pathfinder you have to have a license.
Solasta only used the 5e SRD. Which gives you mechanics but you have to create the folklore, mythology and story.

mostly becouse alot of D&D Fan boys wanted a version in 5E
we had Neverwinter nights the MMO based on 4E (Which i think is far better then 5E im with you 5E is trash)

I'm an old 3.5 player. Also, played through the neverwinter nights, BGs and what not. Haven't played since then though so idk ♥♥♥♥ about 5e. Has the complexity really been nerfed hard? Trying to decide if this would be worth the money.
