Even disregarding just how bad starfield is, Emil is the literal worst person to say this. He is completely, shockingly incompetent when it comes to his job.

Honestly, even with only three IPs i think starfield struggles to even break into the top 5

Big cats have hunting instincts that are hard to turn off even if they like you (see: any news story of a big cat eating their owner), humans have instincts relating to forming communities. every single species has some instincts they follow and they aren't the same as ours, they'll deeply shape how a species' cultures/morals/etc develop. Just saying goblins are little green humans is deeply boring and hurts world building.

I came in one day, told my players this game sucks and everyone immediately started searching for their own game of choice, never looking back at 5e. we've settled on WoD as the game we go to, but we've got a Pathfinder and starfinder game going, we've played cyberpunk RED, shadowrun, cthulhutech, the witcher rpg, besm, exalted, CoD, wrath & glory, and we're planning a final fantasy d20 game. It's down right sad that some people won't move on from 5e tbh.

I could cast heal on the warrior, but i could instead cast elemental assessor on the demon cultist.

Paizo ain't wizards, they give you lots of information about how to run a game, even down to the general amount of money they should have or the amount of events they should fight in a day.

The experience can be useful for a type of campaign you haven't run before i suppose, I'm doing sevenfold conspiracy and it has lots advice on running an investigatory whodunit. Although i wouldn't look to the paths for hard balancing advice, the wrath game I'm in is exceptionally easy (until it suddenly isn't) and the game I'm running is pretty easy too (but it's not based around combat).

It's a very simple matter 2 and maybe mind 3 effect, for simple commands and routines. No ghosts involved!

Everyone knows a bite attack's damage is just strength + successes rolled lethal damage. Agg if you are some kinda freak.

Wizards really doesn't care about anything they've actually done well. Their mostly abandoned settings are by far their best, the forgotten realms (and the sword coast specifically) are barely even mid.

Even the gangs are more honest
