It is, thank Cthulhu. I hated 3/3.5. For all of the unintuitiveness and nonsense that was eliminated, there was just too much of everything. Too many classes, too many feats, too much skill point allocation. I felt like I was playing a build rather than a character. 5E is more streamlined in a good way. I’m still making meaningful choices in character progression, but it isn’t smothering the rest of my gameplay experience.


Streamlined is never good. The endless character possibilities are what made 3.5 and 2.0 so appealing, at least when it came to the video game adaptations.


Streamlining is always good if what you are working with is a convoluted mess. As someone who has been playing D&D a long time, I find 5E to be elegant and a breath of fresh air. There is still a ton of character possibilities. There are definitely way more options than 2nd edition, so that is a weird invocation.
