My biggest problem with it, as a D&D player (although I haven't been in a
campaign for a couple years now), was that the characters didn't act like D&D
characters. I mean, I got a good chuckle at a couple of points imagining the
interactions between the players- and in that way, they acted like *RPG*
characters- but the scriptwriter has never played D&D (confirmed fact) and
therefore was unable to work in things that could have been cool, like a mage
running out of memorised spells, activation words, etc.
Example: At one point, there are Beholders being used in conjuction with
footsoldiers to guard a castle. Each Beholder has two footsoldiers patrolling
with him. What could they possibly have been there for? Moral support? "Nice
one, Beholder-guy! Now use your disintegration beam!" Anyone who had spent
any amount of time playing D&D would know better.
