I'm split on the interview. Like @kanisatha I'm happy they are signaling more good characters. I also like the loaded dice issue as an option.

As I said in another thread I don't like the cognitive dissonance inducing we love D&D along with were going to keep changing the rules because they aren't fun enough. Rule changes should be options. Loaded dice is better solution than the AC lowering / HP bloat / Dipping / surface effects on cantrips.

Let us chose if we want use the homebrew rules just like BG gave us an option between core rules and easy.
