Re: Soundtrack available?

Wow MI, sorry to hear of the circumstances of the data loss, and also sorry that you feel you have to make justifications here just because a person took the wrong approach about getting free content. Mistakes do happen, especially when technology is involved, and we'd be well served to remember the...

Re: More trouble with spells

In addition to constantly being told that I'm trying to "do my own spells" (which I addressed in another question), I cannot add the dog fur to the bowl to complete the "understanding language of creatures" spell. It kills me every time I try. I'm clicking with the proper icon t...

Re: So... about The Father's plans... *spoilers*

First time poster, long time AGD fan, yadda yadda yadda. So, I just finished the game after learning about the black statue in the treasure chest; which is apparently the item that The Father was searching for. But now that its been smashed to pieces; which The Father doesn't seem too happy about, ...

Re: Soundtrack available?

Oh, you're right! My mistake, the druids scene was where I remembered it from. The minotaur theme was actually completely different, starting with stringent matador-like strums when the minotaur detects you, then becoming more upbeat as you're backed up against the fire pit. KQ6 had an incredible sc...

Patiently waiting for the soundtrack as well :) Also, in addition to MI's post under PAW's playthrough detailing the influence of various KQ pieces on the score, I just noticed that the music in the scene when you're cornered by the Yeti in his cave is very similar to the Minotaur's Lair theme from ...

Then you probably haven't done the last thing he asked you to do. I'm not sure what you're doing wrong but it's supposed to work when he tells you what to do, and then you go do it. After he tells you to "go dust in the captain's cabin", the game will let you enter the captain's cabin and ...

Re: First Time Ever Playing This Game

There was a mountain goat and an owl just before the Yeti encounter but neither of them could be talked to, which was weird because I definitely had earplugs then, unless the pirates took them out. The owl was an EE reference to a later game in the original series by Sierra, and something of a lege...

A few impressions after finishing the game. (long & gushing)

Hi all. I've somewhat belatedly made my first full playthrough of the game, and having just finished, I'd just like to thank all you people behind this incredible work of art and tell you what an exhilirating ride it's been. I used to play the original occasionally as a child but never actually got ...

Hi all, I'm replaying QFG1VGA, on DosBox, and I'm stumped by a bug in the brigand leader's office. I think it may have to do with a known issue I encountered earlier in the game: upon picking up some loot, I got a "carrying more than you can" message that overlapped with the loot message, ...

Re: Future Remake: Part Deux

My choices would have to be: KQ4, Camelot, and... I guess Gold Rush, esoteric and less popular a choice though it is, compared to the more prolific Sierra sagas. KQ4 is an obvious choice being the remaining un-remade chapter of the KQ saga, and a solid and rewarding game to tweak and enrich through ...

Re: A brief account of KQ3 Redux' history

One thing I found interesting is that one of the Simbani Elders briefly mentions the Hyenamen, but there are no such creatures to be found like that in QFG3. Perhaps a monster that was originally intended for the game that didn't make it? Could be. Or maybe just an intentionally throwaway line abou...

Re: The Father (Spoilers)

It's actually revealed (or at least hinted at, to be more precise) within KQ2VGA itself. No need to go as far as the KQ3 remake or the Silver Lining project (which are made by other teams, not AGDI, so not much chance of them incorporating such a unique story element into their games). Just research...
