This guy -->
...encapsulates my response. He thought he was talking about football/soccer but actually predicting my response about this announcement. M2E is complex and I love it. Best. Game. EVER! M3E hopefully won't dumb down a legendary game. Count me in regardless. As has been said earlier in this thread, we can choose which edition to play casually.
Lilith will return. It is inevitable. Collodi (my first Neverborn master) is only missing, he'll turn up, maybe in book 2 or 3 of M3E. Lynch, the slippery, treacherous bastard, has escaped our clutches for the time being, but Huggy has plans. Souls are worth more than drugs/casino income after all.
I have faith, Wyrd. Faith. Don't do an England on me and ultimately lose this one.
I would say "Let's face the music, and dance", but with Collodi missing, I'll have to wait and see about that music...
Colour me cautiously optimistic for the time being. Which, if you're wondering what colour optimistic is, is purple of course.
