Why is Hoard of the Dragon Queen such a bad adventure?

[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 6477710, member: 1013"] Aside from it being an AP, which I should avoid but I sometimes foolishly think I can make work for my style of game, its got elements where I pretty much had to overtly imply to the players they were OK charging into a town being attacked by an army with a large dragon. It has parts where if you kill X bad guy so he's not ready for his starring moment in a later chapter you just put an identical copy in there. It has moments that are obviously going to overwhelm the party if they aren't the levels the designers assume they are at that point, if you don't level them at DM whim you may run into issues. You need to make sure they don't get off track of the story...which just isn't my bag. AP's don't work well for me in general. A lot of editing issues. Chapter 4 is just boring and I think will need to be totally replaced. Overall plot is convoluted and kind of stupid. I"m kind of hoping for a TPK next session and we can go back to the other game with 5th level PC's converted from a retro clone. [/QUOTE]
