It does; the heroic abilities allow for quite a bit of customisation so, for example, we had two knights who ended up working quite differently in play. You'll never get the same level of fine grain development you get in some other systems but that's not what this is made for

My experience is that that sense of fun and enjoyment you get doesn't go away. It's just a blast; I was even able to use it to run WFRP style city investigatory adventures. We're currently deep in The One Ring but DB is high on the list of ones we want to get back to
