I really disliked that game for some reason.

I disliked that it didnt deliver on the lofty deams I had from its marketing.

I had the same reaction at first. DDDA was hard to get into and stick with; even after gaining access to all of the vocations and fleshing the better ones out, it was still frustrating. But remembering that similar frustrations have been voiced by players completely new to classic EQ, I stuck with it. Many have commented that they moved on from it after dedicating several hours, only to then give it a second or third try later, using another vocation which made all the difference, similar to EQ.

Nighttime looks and feels very much like Norrath after dark, as a human at least, Kithicor specifically.

The vocations are imbalanced but they also offer radically different playthroughs, each having their own situational strengths...again, similar to EQ. The list of tricks that can be employed by different vocations against certain mobs will make you feel like a moron after doing it the hard way for so long.

Overall, there's a lot of customizability for both arisen and pawn in terms of appearance; pawns are however limited to the more basic vocations. Height/weights determines carrying capacity, run speed, endurance expended/replenished, etc.

Sex determines certain base factions and mob behaviors.

Again, not easy getting into but once you get beyond a certain point, it all just works and on a level other RPGs don't manage to even with mods.
