Is it as fun as the real deal?

DDO is nothing like the traditional pen/dice game. However, if DDO kept the same narration as it did when it was the pay-to-play Stormreach version of the game, then that adds a bit of a 'traditional' charm to it. Unfortunately, the last time I played that game, there is zero exploration. Some players have suggested that I could explore the world, but the thing is, none of it is open world enough. Also, there are tons of invisible walls.

 

But paper D&D was the same deal. You couldn´t just walk away from the adventure that the DM had designed for you. You alway had to follow the quest or else give the DM a week to design in the direction you want. There definitely is not an open world in DDO, the whole game is divided into 10 minute - 2 hour adventures. But then again, so was paper D&D

 

True.

 

I guess so.
