Someone here mentioned Oblivion, and i totally agree. DDA (or dynamic levelling in this case) totally killed the experience for me in that game.
On the opposite side, we have the Gothic series of RPG's. I dare you to venture too far out in the woods before you got your character somewhat beefed up... First time i saw a Shadowbeast coming after me I almost shit my pants! And the feeling of finally being able to take one down... amazing. Thats what I call creating an immersive world, that doesnt feel molded around YOU.
I believe this DDA thing is taking gaming to the complete opposite way of where i would like it to go...
