I have owned descent 2nd edition for about a year now and out of curiosity have been watching videos about the 1st edition just see where the 2nd edition came from. I understand that the new game cut alot items in order to stream line the game and make it more playable in less time, however, does anyone feel like the new editions (to include expansions) are less value or at least less epic then the old descent line?The old set had something like 20 heros in the base set and alot more monsters with no lieutenant tokens (ie additional packs being sold for 10-$15 each in order to get the figure). I don't know what the 1st edition sold for when it was first released, however, it seems like we are being sold less product for our money and all we are getting are some refined rules and re-cycled heros and monsters from the orginal.
The expansions for 1st edition descent added tons of content to include completely new ways to play the game. The expansions now strike me as far less impressive.
This seems to be a trend aswell. Imperial assault (FFG) based on the descent system was like $90 when released and still had about a dozen tokens for pieces... and the expansion twin shadows doesn't even included the bounty hunter featured on the front on the box, and only gives 10 new pieces and 4 or so missions with ano asking price around $50.
Thoughts?
