There's a dozen other RPGs I could have used as well, but Pathfinder is the meme one.

Specifically, it’s DND 3.5e with some changes.
So, you have the best full version of DND (3.0) with all the changes made to make the system function the way it was intended and be much more balanced (3.5), with another total revision to balance, the introduction of many new mechanics, over a decade of new content, and an active publisher who makes massive use of the OGL (PF 1.0).
That's Pathfinder 1e though. Pathfinder 2e is even better in my opinion because it takes what was good from 1e (the world, the customization options, ...) and simplifies play enormously for both the GM and the players to be much more beginner friendly.
I never played DnD 4e but afaik, some of the greatest changes of PF2e have been in DND 4e before and didn't make it to DnD 5e.
PF2.0 isn’t for me or my tables, with a few exceptions. We want the crunch. I really appreciate what Paizo did with 2.0, but it’s not a game for me.
Same. We love the nerdy minutia, leading to inevitable rules lawyering. Keeps the game fresh and surprising
D&D 3.75e
Incorrect. The best D&D edition is 4E, and that's why Draw Steel is the best not-D&D.
This sure is a take.
Surely one of the most takes of all times.
Nah, beat version is Balder's Gate 3 system :p
