Just curious. One of the salient differences between Star Wars: Imperial Assault and Descent seem to be the reintroduction of Descent 1E's threat system. As one currently on the fence about whether to purchase D2E+Expansions in lieu of Imperial Assault, I wanted to hear the community's opinion on this difference.Was threat's abscence universally lamented by the community? Is the game that much more inferior without it? Any plus side to the D2E model for monster spawning?
I really like some of the changes evidenced in Imperial Assault (hidden set up information, threaded Hero/Overlord turn structure, no blocking, etc), but worry IA will lack the range of adventure Descent could offer (more content available, and magic might feel more world bending than anything Star Wars could thematically offer, especially in such a Jedi lite time period).
