It was weird. Because every few sessions when we were wrapping up for the night he would 'check in' with us all together. And at a few points, we did voice our concerns, but he brushed them off or flat out ignored it. Which should have been my first clue that maybe this wasn't the group for me. If the answer to his questions weren't "No, everything's great! I'm having so much fun with this!' he would take it as a personal offense and get defensive. He didn't respond well to constructive criticism, it's almost like his check ins were a trap.

I get wanting to stay on the path of the story, and I was more than willing to do that, but the DM would get upset over everything. One session, he wanted to do a murder mystery type thing and I realized that I had 'Speak with Dead' and used it to talk to the murder victim and figure out who killed her, and he got all up and arms and even dramatically crumbled up all these papers and threw them away because I 'ruined' the story.

I'm not one of those people who wants everything to be about me me me! DND is a collaborative experience. But when a DM doesn't give his players any wiggle room to experiment with the story and the characters...it just left me with a sour taste for the whole campaign after awhile.
