I've roleplayed using the D&D rules without a problem. Sure, you are shoehorned into various roles, but that doesn't really matter. You can have as much fun with D&D as with any other roleplaying game. My old RQ group used to play very high-level D&D and they had great fun with it, including spending 5 game-years researching the "Turn Stone into Blamanche" and turning an opponent's castle into a wobbling block of blamanche.
