We had to figure out what to do with it. We first decided it was clearly an alien creature. And that if you annoyed it, it would bounce on your head and squash you. Then someone came up with the idea of pricking it with your sword or dagger as if it was a balloon. I'm not sure whose idea that was. Later someone makes a comment about an infestation of baby Antwerps in Spielburg because some idiot adventurer split one into multiples (but I don't remember where we stuck that.)Corey Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772474266362396768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-82642444217787274622012-12-12T17:31:44.853+11:002012-12-12T17:31:44.853+11:00The courtyard celebration is what we thought would...The courtyard celebration is what we thought would make a satisfying ending. Neither Lori nor I finished KQ1 or KQ2 as I recall (*maybe* KQ1 years before we went to Sierra). I basically got two days to play Sierra games when I first started, and that's about as much time as I had to play them.<br /><br />You can become a Paladin from any class, but it is really hard as a Thief - Any dishonorable action (such as stealing from an innocent person) will automatically disqualify you. So you can't get full points as a Thief and also become a Paladin.Corey Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772474266362396768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-7896909376266812592012-12-11T15:01:33.274+11:002012-12-11T15:01:33.274+11:00I wonder how far into the third the development te...I wonder how far into the third the development team got. From what I can tell there was a lot of future planning in the series. I'm through half the characters, and should be able to wrap up the last three soon. I've spent the past 3 weeks or so getting through a multi-player game. I'm by the end, I hope to have enough information gathered to write a FAQ for the game. I don't have nearly as many memories of SS2, so that'll be a lot more interesting to get into.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-78397704873316550532012-12-11T13:41:29.976+11:002012-12-11T13:41:29.976+11:00Sweet!

Those two rooms annoyed the hell out of me too, especially the dining room. It reminded me of "Alone in the Dark," where your character ends up doing things for no reason, like blocking a trapdoor with something, only because you know from a previous game that something will soon emerge from said trapdoor otherwise. I definitely enjoyed the game, though. I'll be playing the AGD Interactive remake whenever Chet gets to QFG2.<br /><br /><a href="http://youtu.be/-r_FBVarjFA" rel="nofollow">My first QFG vid</a>Amy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10892876651484617812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-28685489524507196762012-12-11T10:44:03.200+11:002012-12-11T10:44:03.200+11:00You may want to check the import/export FAQ at GoG...You may want to check the import/export FAQ at GoG https://secure.gog.com/forum/quest_for_glory_series/export_and_import_faq/page1<br />as I assume you are wanting to export your character to each game as you play them and this will save you some time with where and how export files are saved and what to do with them.not usedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324649528463783854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-31387426436796145502012-12-11T09:21:39.681+11:002012-12-11T09:21:39.681+11:00You don't actually kill Toro, you can see him ...You don't actually kill Toro, you can see him at the celebration at the end (along with a lot of the other characters, and the developers!).Andy_Panthrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231815646876343380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-72218910983986588482012-12-11T06:56:29.478+11:002012-12-11T06:56:29.478+11:00Once you know how to beat Emmanuelle, it's pos...Once you know how to beat Emmanuelle, it's possible to do it in 30 minutes (which is also the longest session any normal person can stomach).

On the other hand it might be the best class when you strive for paladinhood in QFG2. If I remember correctly, becoming a paladin as a magic user / thief (can you actually become paladin as a thief? I don't remember..) was a bit of disappointment to me, as the class changes then accordingly in QFG3 if you continue playing as a paladin. --> You will then start with a sword, even if you originally were a thief / magic user.<br />-Is the courtyard celebration at the end a nod to KQ1 and KQ2? Didn't they also end with the throne room / chapel filled with all characters of the game, even the defeated ones?<br />-Is there a way to get past the Minotaur as a fighter without killing it? (and still get maximum points?) Didn't Yorick mention that Toro was Elsa's only friend, so it is kind of a shame the Hero needs to kill him.<br />-Great coverage, this this has been a great read (as usual)!Fenrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119088094426124666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-74303916137030361142012-12-11T04:46:23.001+11:002012-12-11T04:46:23.001+11:00Well done.
