Man, i wish that game (both of them really) was based off a good system. 5e is easily the worst (serious) ttrpg on the market and it ruins even bg for me. Owlcat really are the saviors of the genre for not shying away from making games in real systems.

5E was very successful for what it was intended to do: make D&D approachable and simple for the casual mainstream audience at the expense of absolutely everything else.

Which yes, unfortunately makes it very unsuitable for use in video games.

Oh I’m not suggesting it wasn’t a successful scam, the general audience always manages to be dumb and gullible. I’m saying it’s all around terrible and by far the worst real ttrpg maybe ever. I wouldn’t even recommend it to a new player because it’s both too complicated yet somehow entirely hollow.

It’s just bloated with historical baggage, this hobby has way too many hyperbolic “critics”. 5e probably isn’t even the worst version of Dungeons & Dragons, let alone many major games like Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, or Vampire: the Masquerade that have serious structure and culture problems

Out of the three you mentioned only shadowrun is anywhere close to as bad as 5e, and at least shadowrun is infinitely more fun if you actually get it.

They’re just awkwardly presented, the core mechanic is essentially the same as what we have now the numbers just go a different direction.
