If the name of the game is dungeon clearing and killing as many bad guys as possible, give me C&C.On the other hand, if the combats are fewer and farther between, then I think 3.5 plays really well. The number and variety of skills available make for a game where you can really sink your teeth into specific NPC encounters or non-combat challenges.Ideally though, if I had to choose between a dungeon stomp or something with more roleplay, I'll take the roleplay any day of the week. I've had games where the characters don't draw their swords throughout the entire adventure. Instead they were interacting with people or sneaking around. Of course one adventure in particular comes to mind where they didn't draw their swords because their were too busy evading their enemies for much of the night.My group has actually found that for straight dungeon crawls, we're really enjoying the game Descent, by FFG.</blockquote>
