Look, you can't complain about this after giving us so many scenarios involving N locked chests and M unlabeled keys.

I was joining a group of people who I didn't know all that well. I was keen to try the D&D experience, and somewhat follow the implied path by the DM. The others were more into the "sandbox" experience. So we ended up doing little more than burn down a tavern after 4 hours of playing. Probably helps if the DM goes through and figures out people's expectations. We were just kids tho. This was 20 years ago.
