I've been plugging away at it here and there over the last couple months, but the pyramid's been a bit of a brick wall. I think my party composition might just not be well-suited to it, so I need to grind for a bit, but I don't want to because the enemies around the pyramid keep silencing my mages and that makes farming levels and gold more annoying than it should be.

As far as the Dragon Quests go it's a massive step up from 1 and 2 and does some interesting things, but I haven't ever gotten far enough in to really understand why people would be as nostalgic for DQ3 as they are yet.

Thanks for the reminder though, I'll get back to it now.

DQ3 was the first RPG I beat on my own without a guide or other help -- I was pretty little and the world felt so huge as I explored it!
