Nor is it the breath of life,
This is a funereal song,
The musical interlude
Between life and death,
And this Requiem
is all we have
after the vital course
of the former
and the cold nothingness
of the latter."
And so on. That's the back cover blurb by the way. Yeah, I know I just grabbed that off the back cover, it was the most convenient example. Thing is a lot of the interior fiction rubs me much the same way. As for quantifying it, saying 'ten times' was merely a form of hyperbole, and not to be taken literally.
By the way, I should clarify, most of the people who I have talked to who do not like the new World of Darkness are or were fans of the old one. In many ways this could explain the attitude, as a lot of people weren't happy when White Wolf did the whole revamp (excuse the pun). However I've yet to meet anyone who actually prefers the new version at all, out of twenty or thirty gamers. I wonder if it's a UK thing? Me, I don't really have an opinion one way or the other about the system. It seems no better or worse than the last. At the moment, I'm more interested in Scion's variation on it, which I gather is basically the same as Exalted second edition.
