Dungeons and Dragons Online

Excellent:
- Modules. I love the separate storylines they have. I especially enjoyed the Catacombs, Phiarlan Carnival, and Sentinels of Stormreach.
- Dungeon Narration. The fact that the dungeon is narrated by a DM makes the experience seems more like the classic Pen and Paper varients of D&D.
- D&D Skillchecks. I love this implementation. Do you hear danger on the other side of the door? Need to intimindate a suspect into giving you information? Or, can you even jump high enough to access certain places? One character cannot do everything.

Good:
- Monster Design. What I mean by this is when you fight a Fire Elemental, you are actually fighting a monster that is practically immune to fire and will burn your character to a crisp without good Fire Resistance.
- Explorable Zones. Not everything in D&D Online is a dungeon. There are a few large areas that characters can run around in and explore. These zones may also contain dungeons within them as well.

Notes:
- Module Access. As a Free To Play game focusing on PvE content, modules become increasingly harder to access without paying for them. If you are going for a pure F2P route, expect to grind the same modules over and over before you can get to a new one.
-- The point above however is somewhat remedied by the fact if you could find friends willing to pay for a "Dungeon Pass", so F2P players can access dungeons and modules other has already paid for. In addition, I think it is possible to unlock some things with points acquired with in-game progression, but it is still a long road.
- Race and Class Access. Also, being a F2P game some races and classes are locked and must be paid for or unlocked via a long process ingame. However, if you choose to unlock it through the ingame route, it is only for that server, and not everything can be unlocked in this fashion.
- Going Solo. While possible with the Hireling system, it is not that good of an idea. I did play solo for the majority of my playtime, and it does get dull after a while. In addition, there are special dungeons that require more than one person to play, or recommend larger groups.

Bad:
- Combat. As awesome as the game is in almost every other department, the combat in the game is like the Pen and Paper versions. Swing your weapon, roll the dice, and hope to hit. Most skills are simply a buff to your rolls. The animations aren't that interesting either.
-- The above changes slightly when playing a ranged or magic class, which makes the combat slightly more interesting. However, melee characters still seem somewhat boring to play.
