I liked 4E a lot more than 3.5, though I grew up on 2E. I know, unpopular opinion, but there are games like ICON which take the 4th-like combat and combine it with a FotD style narrative system that work really well.
Ok not sure how I missed this video, but now I made sure to subscribe. (You even have a baldurs gate 3 video nice!) Need to check a lot of the other videos. Thank you for the great content!
I never played 4e, (migrated from 3.5 to Pathfinder) but after watching a few of these I feel like trying to buy a 4e DMG just for the reference material.
Because no edition is perfect and learning from the past is a great way to improve. For example Skill Challenges was a great idea from 4e that Matt Colville has even talked about bringing back.
@@AwkwardGMCorbin But if you have to take a bunch of stuff from other games to make 5e work then what's the point of playing 5e when you could go play a more complete game?
There is no ideal system, and there is no right way. The game is yours to make of it what you will. Regardless of system, the GM has to make judgment calls, and occasionally that means changing rules that don't work for your table, and using rules from other sources. Nothing wrong with playing RAW, but equally nothing wrong with playing with house rules. Whatever works to make it fun.
@@claytonhilliard925 You don’t need a bunch of fixes to “make 5e work”. It’s just there is stuff from 4e that can help streamline or improve it, if it works for ya. Makes things more interesting.
4E D&D was not my favorite to actually play, but it's definitely got my favorite DMG
too true!
The 4e DMG 2 is arguably even better than the DMG 1 and has a wealth of good stuff that can be applied to any edition.
got a couple videos on DMG2 coming out over the next couple months!

thanks for the comment!
4e’s later improvements could definitely be used to better 5e as well as other games.
well said

Why not just play 4e then if you're gonna steal a bunch of stuff from it?
