Quite so; I enjoy the strategy aspects and minitatures a lot, but would not find them satisfying if there wasn't a good story with interesting personalities involved. Ideally, the two aspects support each other, which happens rarely but is awesome.

I can comfortably say that my style will remain the same in any edition, be it 1E, Baldur's Gate, 3.5 or 4E ($E). The only difference that 4E will bring will to me will (hopefully) be wasting less time on irrelevant number-crunching, being able to better support the roleplaying aspects with less material involved and having less walls that impede roleplaying to bump into (say, alignments, color coded dragons, good vs. evil spells etc.).
