To be fair I was aware PF2E would be crunchier. Thus far I have liked most of the differences, besides the magic system, and have found it to be more complex but with the benefits of more player flexibility and tighter balancing...then I got to the rules on perception and stealth. I have read the rules three times and even watched the excellent youtube videos by How it's Played.
Normally his videos are very nice and in 5-8min he can clear up any confusion I might have. Then I noticed his videos on perception and stealth were each like 30min...but I forced myself to watch because I wanted to be prepared...but seriously does no one not think this is unnecessarily complex? I like a lot about PF2E but now I envision sessions in which the game is halted every 10-15min by everyone looking up rules interpretations. I am really frustrated by a system I want to like but appears to be far more crunchy than I was led to believe. I still don't think I have a firm grasp on how perception and stealth should work.
