Earthdawn was always my favorite system, even though a majority of my table-top gaming life was spent on 2nd Ed. AD&D. I never played 3rd Ed. but I scorn it as someone who spent his childhood (and teenage-hood etc etc), coming to love the foibles of 2nd edition and now wouldn't have it any other way.
My elfin ranger had to walk uphill, in the snow, both ways, just to kill a goblin. You young 3rd edition kids have it easy...
Reading OOTS is really my only exposure to 3rd edition rules, and in that sense they're perfectly bearable. Otherwise, I don't know if I could take them.
