they also codified the power creation system for unique supernatural abilities in a way 2e didn't
in 2e all the weird superpowers besides adepts and avatars were individually handcrafted, and while it was cool to have all these unique abilities that defied classification it could also be hard to set boundaries on what they could do if a player wanted to create their own
in 3e if you have an idea for a unique superpower that's not covered by the other systems you assemble it from a menu of broad categories (specific information, general harm, protection...). it's not as evocative as handmaking totally unique powers but it's a hell of a lot easier to actually run and play
