Deep Roads in Dragon Age Origins. It's just so tiresome.

I'm starting my dungeon crawler off with a 3 level cave. It's a fine enough dungeon, but I worry it'll bore people and they'll lose interest immediately. Maybe I should have some crazier dungeon right away.

>>3806458 (OP)
Never played a dungeon crawler?

>>3806458 (OP)
You mean a dungeon?
The backbone of RPG exploration?
Going all the way back to original D&D?
And classic literature like Dante's Inferno?
And even all the way back in mythology where Orpheus had to travel through Hades and back?

I'm pretty sure every Pokemon game has this.

>people still pretending badly paced drawn out dungeons are good simply because it's tradition
lol
lmao even

>badly paced dungeon
That doesn't mean anything, a dungeon doesn't have pace.

It's a video game, cut the bullshit and get to the good stuff right away.

>a dungeon doesn't have pace
shows your ignorance
the level design, encounter design, possible puzzle design... that all affects pacing, determining not just how much time you spend going through the dungeon but whether it goes smoothly or feels way longer than it is due to tedium and delays

>>3806458 (OP)
I never liked dungeons. As a kid when I played morrowind and oblivion I never did them not realizing how important they were and I always was undergeared, heh.

>>3806527
Guess it depends on how big/long the cave is
>>3806529
Darkest Dungeon, if that counts?
>>3806534
Yes
>>3806584
Geodudes. And Zubats. Geodudes and Zubats everywhere

This
Also dungeons and caves can be different things, non? I don't mind a dungeon but caves especially, bleh

Gary Gygax has so much to answer for, and dungeon crawling is top of the list.
He is currently burning on the Plane of Gehenna under the eternal torture of the Beholders.

Keyword is tedious. Most rpgs have absolute dogshit, poorly designed dungeons.
