It took me two days to learn D&D 3.5 from scratch, two goddam days, how much effort is that? About the same as watching a marathon of FRIENDS or scrubs followed by Lord of the Rings. It's not a big deal. 4th is like windows vista, you see some new things and elucidate "gosh, that makes so much sense, why ...didn't they do that earlier?", but on the vast majority of things I panic and scream "Oh god, they're ruining it!". You can bit-torrent all the 4th core books from Thepiratebay.com with utorrent.
It took me 30 minutes to learn Savage Worlds from scratch, 30 goddam minutes, how much effort is that? About the same as watching an episode of FRIENDS or scrubs followed by making a cup of noodles.
The system just seems to lock characters into roles. Magic users deal damage, fighters defend them, rogues deal damage and cause crazy effects. WTF? OK so now your sword becomes redundant, your mission in life is to tank like in WoW. Call me crazy, but I think that burning someone with a fireball is about as effective as stabbing them through the chest. And WOTC have the gall to call wizard robes "cloth armour" just to follow WoW. If you were wearing your casual clothes, I bet you'd get some funny looks if you started referring to it as armour.
How dare they attempt to make classes that don't cast magic useful?
