And there's no randomness in TQ either--some new bosses get added in the 
higher levels, but that's about it.  Meeting pretty much exactly the same 
monsters in the same places on the same boards puts a serious crimp in TQ's 
replayability, despite everything else it has going for it.  I wouldn't have 
thought that such a seemingly trivial thing would make much difference, but 
it does, at least for me.  I played one character all the way through on all 
three levels and pretty much put it up after that.

Damn good game despite that, though, even if the sameness does eventually 
get to you.  I'd still recommend it.
