The same 2 made my list of best adventures since 1985. Do gamers like dungeons more than WotC thinks? Does my gaming circle share similar tastes?

@dmdavid Maybe gamers like hex crawls more than WotC thinks.
My favorite parts of both those adventures, and my players' favorite parts, were the pick-your-pleasure quests that preceded Castle Ravenloft and the Tomb of the Nine Gods, not those locations themselves. The increase in player frustration and decrease in engagement in the Tomb of the Nine Gods, in particular, was palpable.

@KeithAmmann Both adventures do a great job of giving players a sense of freedom while still directing them to an end goal
