I couldn't disagree with you more.
The only fun part of D:OS1 was the first act where it was slow, tactical, and as a new player especially you had to be on your toes and actually think of how to approach a combat encounter.
After act 1 it all became nonesense filler and not even near as fun.
For me the most fun part was somewhere in Act 2 (end of Cyseal, first part of Luculla), as you were quite a bit powerful, but still could be mashed and bashed by that orc with knockdown, and every tactical opportunity and wise use of skills were required. So duh.
First act was limited in possibilities, and that understandable, as the characters are newbie-adventurers.
