(Again, you're free to have your own opinion, like I said in my OP, I'm just stating now why I did not put it as number 1 on my list)So, first, it is a great planar adventure with an epic plot. It has that going for it. It also has 2 paths you can go down, so I wouldn't go as far as giving that as a benefit to them. I'd rather have had a combination of Path of Demons and Path of Devils than them be separate. Next, it is open-ended in the sense that it can go so many different ways at the end. That is a benefit that most D&D 5e adventures don't have. It's normally "Do this, or everyone dies." Descent into Avernus does not have that. There are many ways for the party to succeed on it or fail, or a mix of both. It has an epic scope, so yes, you're correct there. It is far from the best planar adventure ever written, IMO. Though it is fairly open-ended, Curse of Strahd is even more so, and also counts as a planar adventure, as it is in the Shadowfell.</blockquote>
