> Is there anyone in this forum who has given up before completing FQ, and would you mind sharing some advice as to how the game could have been improved to give players more motivation to finish?

I admit it. I'm one of the sissies who finished Trainer, but has not finished Fantasy Quest. Actually, I haven't given up yet, but I got frustrated enough to stop playing for a little while. I'll go back and work at it some more sometime, although I may have to ask for a hint at some point. :/

Anyway, the problem for me is just that I seem to be stuck. I can't think of what I should do next, so right now I'm basically wandering around randomly trying to find something useful.
