Love the social commentary in DQ3. The king of Portugal is mad for Indian pepper, the Roman emperor abdicates so he can bet on monster fights all day, the Bolivians are ruled by a maneating troll in disguise, uh there's probably more.

whenever it comes out, some IK needs to make the IZ contest an exercise in how many fish you can catch doing an in-depth thinkpiece in one of the political forums about how NewTown is a commentary on american capitalism.

QCS revived to deal with the arguments in D&D over whether "the merchant" is biden, obama or clinton. imp zone peacefully sitting on the sidelines because nobody will even give us banners to waive.

The Aliahan Method describes how the land fell into anarchy after four colonists assassinated the rightful Archfiend in his mountain castle of horrors then jumped into a big loving pit.

i played the hell out of 1-4 and some of the remakes of 3-4, and i admit i was an idiot and had a lack of faith that they could keep making this work, but this game owns so loving much, lmao. it's one of the coziest modern games i've played. huge qol updates with Erik being able to tell you how many treasures are on a screen, the map sparkles, the bestiary, etc. it just makes "the grind" not feel like a grind at all because there's always something to do. my biggest surprise has been how good the voice acting is, even if erik forgets he's supposed to have an accent like 40 - 60 percent of the time. the art really shines, the soundtrack is great, and the 3D animations of the monsters and the little noises they make really bring something spooky to the DQ AI. also, it's just a relief to play a game where you can order food and take bites in between selecting commands, lol. love being back to scouring towns to talk to everyone, climbing down all the wells, finding all the medals, etc. it sort of feels like the old feelie manuals are just in the game now, so i've been playing without a guide. not sure how much i should be using steal or if i'm making good decisions on the skill tree, but it feels so loving good to come back to dragon quest. definitely playing the dq3 remake.

Imp Zone hype got me to play 5 > 8 > 11 earlier this year and it was an unbelievable ride.
