So I decided to give 5e an honest try. Just some solo stuff, since I can't get a group together anyways. I spent a bit of last night and a bit of this morning creating a character, and it's a bit of a slog but nowhere near as bad as 3rd or 4th edition, both of which I really disliked but played anyway because that's what my friends were playing (I ran 4e for 10 months and needed a goddamm computer program to even make it happen...)
I can't be normal. I've been tinkering a rebuilding worled ideas for a while, and bat-people have definitely become a thing in my milieu, so I wanted to make on of those as my character. I have grabbed several free varieties and a few paid ones from DriveThruRPG and DMsGuild, what I am using is this one here and I decided to make a vanilla Ranger right out of the Player's Handbook. I've heard there is an official rebuild in one of the later books and several free on the interwebz, but I'll see how this does for solo play.
The thing that I noticed most, aside from the fact that the PH is ponderously long and the stuff is scattered from one end to the other, is that I started getting really attached to my little bat girl Wanders Off, who left her village because she just can't stop wandering off to see what's over the next ridgeline of trees. Not because of the built-in mechanics of Personality, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws, but because it took me so long to get everything figured out and find everything in the book that I was creating her whole village and growing up and the whole wandering off thing in my head while I was looking for the information I needed.
I've got a little single-character adventure I'll run her through to see how it works, maybe tonight.
Here's a pic I found that carries the essence, if not the detail, of Wanders Off:
