But isnt exploring such a dungeon more appealing if u know that there is possibility that u will upgrade your character? Who would ply Diablo if they knew that all that dungeon crawling wouldn't be awarded with getting new and better powers for your heroes? Dungeons are known for poor stories so beside nice items u can get this is pretty much what remains to do in them - to lvl up.

Nevertheless if there is going to be a big dungeon of some sort i would prefer Baldur's Gate 2 Watchers Keep to the one in Divine Divinity (under starting town). With this i mean interesting story in every level some red line to get u through to the bottom and ofc hard challenges/fights.
