I sunk about 34 hours into DD before I had to stop as the grind was killing me. I don't think my opinion on a game has deflated so quickly in a long time. I loved it for the best part of 20 hours or so, but then it dawned on me that I'd not really done anything different in the last 10. I was in a cycle of switching heroes, visiting the same places, fighting the same enemies, hoping to score some loot to upgrade my heroes/hamlet to deal with tougher areas/enemies (which were the same, only with bigger numbers). I'd barely scratched the surface too by this point, so I decided to park it for a while. I think they've introduced a new character and some other mechanics to reduce the grind since. Who knows, I may return to it yet, but I can't deny how much I enjoyed it when it was fresh. It's a tremendously evocative game and I do so miss the narrator.
