I do not say PoE is better than DnD.
I wanted to say that for new players it is much easier to understand whats going on in PoE compared to DnD, especially 3E/pathfinder.
I have not played 5E so far.
If people like the DnD, PoE or another system more is a matter of personal taste.
There are DnD games that are much better than PoE.
PST is one of the best RPGs ever, but I like it because of story and characters, not because the exact way of how dice are rolled. Combat was quite terrible and easy there.
ToeE and IWD may have great combat, but I never finished them because of story was missing or bad. After beating tons of monsters I asked myself why am I doing this?
