I can only agree with what Tomas said.
When I first played 3 Stars I didn't like it very much for the same reasons. It was also the marshlands where I first felt that it was just too big and too annoying.
I have to say though that 3 Stars was among the first RPG games I ever played, and that wasn't a good idea. It's not a game for beginners.
Also, it was my first random encounter game, which didn't make things better.
Years later I played the game again, and ever since it's become one of my favorite games. Really, the best part of the game still lies ahead.
