This remains a fun series. I've played all three. I enjoy the casual exploration. I enjoy the button mashing battles. It's an easy recommendation. I await the next addition.

However, I still wish the equipment leveling was removed. Just tie items to character level and be done with it. I'm adverse to ever swinging any weapon below my character level because I'm sure as frell not going to farm the gold to level it up on a whim. Special effects may tempt me to experiment with the head, torso and trinket slots. However, no details are given on how an effect levels up. I didn't spend gold on them until nearing max character level and wanting another source of passive stat gains. CQ3's New Game+ seems like it could have been an excuse to try a new loadout. However, it increases the level cap which in my mind compounds the problem and fails to tempt me.

Would I still recommend this game as a one-and-done campaign? Yup! It's a lighthearted affair and if you treat it as such instead of worrying about systems and character builds then you'll have plenty of fun. =)
