Exactly! The first fight (aka first TPK) has beaten into our new-to-5e, 1st level baby brain that "only NPCs can save your sorry ass". Obviously, we started using henchmen. Sadly, the DM didn't let us to do so for very long ‒ our first group of henchmen were cool simpletons, but later nobody wanted to come with us. One group even stole our money. I guess DM didn't want to have hour-long combat rounds but didn't want to be frank about it. It's good not being alone in our suffering in Tier1.

When my party ran DIA it became a running gag that we were just doing the quest for the Biggoron Sword in Ocarina of Time. The whole Avernus part of the module is just this long sequence of fetch quests until it finally culminates in you getting the best sword in the game.

I agree with what you are saying about the first combat as well, but I want to focus on Zodge. The party is risking life and limb for the goals of a corrupt cop because otherwise he just kills them off. They are expendable. If they behave well, they might as well die trying to clean out some shithole otherwise needing the understaffed Fist's attention. Such low treatment and abuse of player characters is a refreshingly brave move from WotC.

My DM had Lulu's spirit possess my pet badger, Waffles. At no moment in the campaign did I ever question the confusing stupid shit Waffles was telling me, because I love him above everyone and everything and he is perfect in everyway and has never done anything wrong ever. So in that way I think my DM nailed it.

Descent into Avernus is so weird. The theme and contents don't fit the typical high fantasy setting well at all, and the Baldur's Gate dungeon section is literally the most meatgrinder 5e has been since Tomb of Horrors.

I really hated the name of the organization of the "Firefists" because my friends are perverts. So I changed it to "Fire Fighters." To which I still think it so cool that my players will have to deal with it. Plus, I describe them that they deal with fire based monsters lately and thus have fantasy equivalent of IRL Fire fighter equipment and enchanted ventilators. Then my players make "Fire Force" jokes, since there was anime... I can never win.

As someone currently in a DiA campaign, it’s a fantastic module… *if* you have a DM who’s willing to rewrite a good chunk of it. There are a lot of fun people and places and things to do in the book, but the way it ties those things together is often very clunky and narratively unsatisfying.

I’m running this right now I’m Ive rewritten some bits to make it less tedious and improve some plots imo First I rewrote some lore where the legend of zariel’s charge is known but not the outcome of z Ariel herself. Not even her name is known just that an angel helped the hellriders. I also had the shield become unidentifiable except for a few select NPCs in the game. Giving way for the devil inside to manipulate the party and open the plot point more. Lastly rather than make it a long escort mission I made it a sandbox where the party must travel and try to figure out how to save the city or just escape hell. All while uncovering slowly zariel’s story.
