Re: Heroine's Quest is back

The graphics are wonderful!! I sincerely hope that the scripting of the game is at least half as good as the graphics are, for this has the potential of becoming a classic. Best luck with your game! :D EDIT: AACK!! How can you work so hard 4 years on the sprites, backgrounds and whatever with just a...

Re: Bug that forces you to steal the bellows

Those cannot be the causes, because I just beaten the Air Elemental with the fighter having done exactly what you describe, and Issur gave me the bellows. The only "problem" I got, is that with the combo "conversation tree-parser", I couldn't ask Aziza directly about elementals, ...

Re: Let's Play Quest for Glory 2 in progress (SPOILERS)

I watched a bit of it, not too much, as this is my first playthrough and don't want to spoil the joy of discovering things by myself. I mostly watched fights. The problem is that the videos seem sloooooow (maybe due to the recording process), so much I can't watch them without fast-forwarding throug...

Project: Path of the Villain (spoilers)

Once I'm done playing with the fighter (hopefully becoming a Paladin), I plan beating the game with a thief, and I was thinking on having the opposite behavior. Basically, I want to do all the wrong things the game lets you go away with, but I haven't found any guide that recopilates them. I thought...

Re: Some thoughts on the combat system (SPOILERS)

You can dodge it in the sense that if you are not right in front of Uhura when she gets up, you will not be thrown back. It does only happen when she falls to the right (but not always), and you can use backflip on her.

Feature: Alternate points

The game is full of hidden features (I'm avoiding spoilers), but when you do something special, it's easy to miss it as there's no audio clue/points added. I understand that adding points to the original score chart is a bad idea, but I've thought that a separate score chart for extra features could...

Re: Feature request: allow to skip long dialogs

I'm finding me skipping a lot the animation of Shema everytime she brings me the meal or goes away, and the animation when you leave Shapeir on foot. They are repetitive and somewhat slow (with default speed settings), so it's really a bless that I can skip them.

Basically Trial by Fire makes for a pretty good analogy for the war on terror. Rasier represents a country under extremist sharia laws and Ad Avis IS Osama Bin Laden. No. Rasier represents Sierra, under the cruel management of A. Davis. It's a good analogy of how it was working on Sierra at those t...

Re: I dont like Abu from QFG2 and Salim from QFG3

Quest for Glory 2 has an astrologer because that fits perfectly the arabian setting. Moreover, if you ask Abu about "Zodiac", he will tell you that he doesn't adhere to that theory, so he is basically agreeing with you here. He instead uses the scientific approach of throwing darts to the ...

Well, if you have the game speed turned up, you could miss many other things too like Easter Eggs. The day/nights will also go by faster as a side-effect. Those things are merely a trade-offs for people who decide to play with the speed setting on a higher level. If you have to turn the speed down,...

Its tough to go all the way to the top of the screen, back down and find the enemy again. - but i think you still need to aim and go for it.
That hotkey should work also for rocks, grenades and pointy flowers. >D

Actually, the original QFG2 with parser also had a crosshair that had to be aimed manually, making it difficult to get in a lot of daggers on a charging foe.

I finished QfG3 with all three clases without knowing I could do that (which is the reason I didn't became a paladin in that game), by the way. It's not that apparent. Pretty sure that's not possible. At the very minimum, you need to do it on the mage route to convince Johari to take you to the leo...
