DD is a great game - not like playing Diablo imho. But, there is still a lot of combat, so if you dislike having to mow down a lot of enemies, you might not like that part of the game. Find it quite fun myself, just finshed up a giant orc hunt.
This game is really a GREAT rpg. I would recommend that you give it a try. It is the first game I have played in ages that makes time fly by. You sit down to play for a few minutes, and suddenly 3 or 4 hours of real time have disappeared <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
