Complete List of Starting Quiz Questions & Answers in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake

At the start of the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, players will encounter a detailed and extensive quiz that helps shape their character’s personality for the game. While this personality doesn’t influence the story itself, it plays a crucial role in determining your character’s stats. The assigned personality will provide percentage boosts to essential traits like strength, agility, vitality, intelligence, and luck — all vital for mastering the complexities of Dragon Quest 3‘s Vocation system later on.

This quiz isn’t your standard personality test where each answer clusters into a category defining whether you’re more of a warrior or a mage, for instance. Rather, the personality quiz in DQ3 resembles a hidden Choose Your Own Adventure-style experience. Each response you make leads to a related question further down the list. By the end, you’ll find yourself placed into a specific scenario based on your answers, and your performance here will solidify your assigned personality.
