I started with EA release but spared me the Grymforge until last patch. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. I looked at maps because I had the feeling that I missed something, but seemingly not. I thought the area would be bigger. It's personal bias, but I don't like crafting and for my taste there are already much too many magical items in the game, so the promise to be able to forge something does not make me hot.
The design of the cave, buildings and statues is nice and well done and the fight around Nere is ok (I even lost it, mainly because I ingeniously managed to make the gnomes and allied duergar hostile to me; the fourth fight I lost in the game since release, it's even more embarrassing because I was already lvl 5 ...) but most of the rest of the encounters are a bit ... unimpressive. I like however the snappy chests, there should be more bad surprises like this.
