Worth noting that one of the focuses of the past decade-ish of development has been to make the game significantly shorter. D has lost 7 floors, Lair and Vaults lost 3, Elf, Orc, and Crypt lost 2, the S branches and Slime lost 1, and the first 6 levels of every hell branch have become much smaller. As a result the density of powerful monsters has increased and popcorn has been dramatically reduced compared to earlier versions.
Yeah I’ve done most of my playing since all those changes. I still find the game way too long!
