What a crushing disappointment! There is absolutely nothing new in that "playtest". I'm surprised they took so long to release it. Differentiating between "race" and "culture" seems like a good idea to me, but there is very little that differentiates elves from dwarves from men. I fear every "fighter" and every "wizard" will be more or less the same. If they're not going to add ability modifiers, they could have at least invented a couple unique talents per race and some kind of flaw system. My excitement for Black Flag has dropped like an iron ball.
Totally agree! I felt bad on first read through because I was so disappointed, but that seems to be the over all reaction. The more I think about it the more bummed I get.
