Re: bandit sleeping/moving-around randomness

It isn't. A counter is used that goes up each time you enter the treehouse exterior screen from the oak tree screen and as it rises your odds of the bandit being asleep rise too, all the way up to 100% after 3 tries or so. However, entering any other screen besides the oak tree or treehouse exterior...

Re: End Credits questions

The cat shot in the outro is meant to be a bookend to the intro...in the intro it was Gwydion who was overlooking the valley in a bad phase in his life, in the outro it's Manannan sitting on that very spot overlooking the valley in a state of despair. http://www.agdinteractive.com/forum/images/avata...

Re: Awards? *possible spoilers*

No, the scatterbrain award used to be called the litterbug award. It's the opposite of cleaning up after yourself. As for Stockholm, it's more or less the opposite of the grudge award in terms of criteria. The pacifist award is somewhat related to the dag-nab-it award. The infamous award is obtained...

Re: Mananan did not ask for food [Spoiler]

Interrupting his nap resets his cycle...he'll only ask for food if he wakes up naturally. He'll ask for it again after his next trip. It may be a great way to avoid having to feed him, but the outcome is the same. If you wake him up: punishment, if you don't feed him: punishment. Besides, there's no...

Re: Telltale should pick up QFG

Personally, I'd like to see how well they can handle KQ before requesting them to have a go at other IP I treasure. Also, the thing I think might turn Telltale off QFG-games is the fact it doesn't fit into their standard development plan of starting a season and churning out one episode a month...no...

Re: My thoughts on King's Quest 3: Redux *Spoilers Ahead!!*

Thanks for the kind words. A few comments: About Rosella: since KQ3 Redux was modelled after the KQ5/KQ6 style, we took KQ6's Rosella as a reference rather than KQ7's. Yeah, limited reference, since she only appeared at the end, but as you said the multiple Rosella's don't resemble each other's voic...

It's also possible to miss it when trying to talk to moving animals. For example, you must talk to both chickens, but since they're on the move, it's easy to lose track of which one you spoke to and which one not. Also, the oracle and the bard have conversation parts that are missable and Manannan w...

Did you try talking to the gull? You must have the language spell before even approaching him. There's also a case where you have to talk to someone twice to get the award, but if you talk to him the third time, you die. Those are easy to miss. 'Enry's award doesn't involve listening, only speaking....

Re: Parser/Text interface.... Why not?

For the look, it's probably fairly generic. The real killer comes from the interact and use inventory actions and in anything written by Daniel, the talk action too. With parser-based action, people who love parser don't just expect a parser to be present, they'll also expect it to understand and ha...

Re: "What do we have to do to get some nice handsome..."

That reminds me of one of the background descriptions. It is a simple dresser, containing Manannan's unmentionables. The thought of those conjures many memories of washing them. There's another event that's doesn't contain innuendo, but is kinda gross in its own right. I find it rather funny that al...

Something went wrong in the checking mechanism. If you get a cat hair and a dog hair and you use the cat hair for the language spell, the second cat hair isn't meant to give you points.
