Part of making a good megadungeon is (often, but not always) the idea of returning to it later. The megadungeon itself isn't the adventure; "This criminal escaped justice by fleeing into the megadungeon, go get him!" is the adventure.A well-done megadungeon will have a bunch of opportunities for stealth, bluffing, diplomacy, etc. Some levels (and sublevels) may be all combat, but others should have factions, weird tricks, magic pools, etc.So take ToEE for an example. Spoilers if you aren't familiar with it.[sblock]It's quite possible to approach the temple as a straight-up fight- that's most common, IME- but it is also possible to approach it in disguise, to arrange to be recruited into it, to sneak in through a 'back door', to negotiate one's way in (at least, in some places), etc. It's also full of opportunities to turn one faction against another.[/sblock]So yes, I think a megadungeon could be fun for you. Would it necessarily? Eh, of course not. But could a good dm and a good group make megadungeon play sing for you? I think they could.</blockquote>
