Have you considered the possibility that many RQ3e products were, in fact, quite good?

Now you'd have a point if I was giving extraordinarily high marks to RQ1e products relative to AD&D1e - but apart from one item I don't own any. Believe me AD&D1e products would make mincemeat of RQ1e products (Balastor's Barracks, Trolls & Trollkin, Scorpion Men and Broos, Militia & Mercenaries) and related products (All the World's Monsters #1 and #2)

In any case, the scores between AD&D1e and RQ3e are here to compare:

AD&D
----
Dungeon Masters Guide 3/10
Monster Manual 4/10
Players Handbook 5/10
Dieties and Demigods 6/10
Slave Pits of the Undercity 6/10
Secret of the Slavers Stockade 4/10
Assault on the Aerie of the Slavelords 6/10
In The Dungeons of the Slavelords 7/10
Tomb of Horrors 4/10
Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh 8/10
Danger At Dunwater 6/10
The Final Enemy 7/10

RQ

Daughters of Darkness 4/10
Dorastor: Land of Doom 9/10
Elder Secrets 6/10
Gods of Glorantha 8/10
RQ (3rd edition) 9/10
Snake Pipe Hollow 8/10
