I, myself, have read most of the 3.5 core rulebooks along with the 4th edition for DnD. If you're one of those people that can really take the role of your character and make decisions as your character would instead of whatever keeps you alive (lol) then its pretty amusing. There's limitless quests if you have a decent dm and sometimes you become entranced into a fantastic world of riches and power. C: but yeah they're pretty good to play..
