With regards to use of fantasy tropes Dungeons and Dragons is also quite silly as a name.
I'm dissapointed not because of the name but because I found the dragon combat gameplay the least interesting. That's why I was very glad for a large part of the expansion pack of the last game and very dissapointed towards the end of it. At least in Total War one can skip real-time battles, I'm hoping for a similar option here.
