Even slower would be a dungeon with multiple sets of competing occupants and mutually-exclusive objectives that have to be learned about and prioritized during play.To put it more simply... a dungeon that represents only a sequence of combat encounters will be much faster than a similarly-sized dungeon that involves exploration, social interaction, and/or party decisions/dilemas on what to do next.</blockquote>
