I will say, though, that the books themselves have a lot more "flavor" than the 3.x volumes. The text isn't as dense and there's more world stuff that crops up now and again, like references to the Feywild and the Shadowfell. That sorta thing gets my imagination going- it really feels like a fantasy game.

That's what I thought, there's a bunch of "this is how race X acts" and snips of their assumed history, various references to places, gods etc. I don't see how this is less than 3.x in any fashion... and definately more than Gurps assumes..
