I'm only in the first dungeon and the game is really dragging after the first few hours..Does the game eventually become more fun?..right now i'm in the starting town and it's a really slow chore just playing?

The first dungeon in DivDiv is the worst bit. Drag your ass through it and the game opens up quite well. It's just like the Temple of Trials in Fallout 2.

I agree. I actually had fun in the first dungeon, but I could understand if it puts anyone off, because even for me it starts to drag.
Once you finish it (its only a few floors), you'll leave the town and the entire world opens up to you. You'll have quests, NPCs and points of interest to explore. I promise, its worth it. Push forward and you'll be rewarded. Iscariot is right, it's a little like the first dungeon in Fallout 2.

thanks all..I'll trudge onward then.

As soon as you get out of that first town the game opens up. It is so much like the Fallout 2 feeling like others have said. That game started off atrocious. But when you could escape the village and make your way into the first couple of towns, suddenly it's immense and exciting. In DD you'll find yourself in constant peril and danger once you're out of the safety of the first town's walls, and then you're pretty much on your own to explore the world. For the next 20 hours or so you'll probably be loving the open endedness of the game, although after that I personally found it became a bit more limited than what I expected, but still good fun. When the patch finally comes I'll get around to playing it again and maybe this time completing it.

Funnily enough, I've just finished the first dungeon and, yes, I can confirm that the world has indeed opened up for me in a bewildering number of ways! I found the first dungeon, yes, a tad repetitive, but also a useful way of figuring out how to do various things in-game. It is, to all intents and purposes, a nice self-contained training ground - albeit a very long one.
I'm really enjoying this game, though. The fact that the NPCs are generally quite bolshy (Seth and Alix are both cut from the same 'don't-suffer-fools-gladly' cloth) is quite refreshing, for a start.
