No... it's an RPG, you're supposed to play the role. I think thats the bottom line really, you can never play exactly the personality you want to in rpgs, thats not the idea. The very fact that at the end of the day, the designers have made a limited number of things that your character can say in ...

No... it's an RPG, you're supposed to play the role. That's part of the puzzle. If you choose to be primarily a fighter (as in, that's the class you picked even if you gave him other skills), then he should think like a fighter. And even though you don't speak, there are some bits of dialogue that a...

You can look at it a couple different ways. The fact that you have physically attractive friends can be a positive because attractive people tend to attract other attractive people. Because of this, you might be more apt to become acquainted with good looking people. But is this really important to...

No, no, no, I was flirting with someone and it was going well and all, and then one of my friends who I'd gone to the party with came over to tell me they were heading to a club down the street, walked away and the person I was flirting with goes, "Who was that? He's beautiful!" I realize ...

For the sake of my love life, I need uglier friends.

Wow. That was really a simple answer, wasn't it. The reason it never came to mind is that 1. I'd never think to play a QFG game on less than max difficulty (except this remake if the Speed slider were ever implemented) and 2. It's counterintuitive and, frankly, a crappy arrangement that the game ef...

I agree -- I think part of the problem is that as games have grown more violent, the plot of games has taken the back seat. But some of us are plot-lovers and that makes these games unbearable. I don't think violence has anything to do with it. Gabriel Knight series, 5 days a stranger (which is a f...

I think that comes fairly late in the game -- play through it but don't save over any of your games and visit Harami at night as often as you can, I'm sure it will come up eventually!

For all we know, they got sidetracked on the way and had a whole other adventure we didn't get to play! After all, in QfG5 FA says you have enough stories to fill five books but you've only finished four games.... if that's true though, it's likely you used those potions! ...Anyways, that's what I h...

Nope, no anti-aliasing, no extra anything. Just playing the game. *shrugs* I really don't understand why everyone seems to find it so difficult.

That's all very surreal sounding -- but I think a lot of things we think would be terrifying just come across as being "orly?" until afterwards, y'know?
And I think "Why the hell did you do that?" is a perfectly legitimate response.

OMG you are having a rough week

PS I think I caught your cold over the Internet. Did it start with a sore throat?

It was a grown-up Ferngully with *amazing* visual effects.

That's so true! I'm a big storyline person, myself, and the immersion into the world of the game absolutely helps with that. I want to look at everything in every scene! And that's almost always how I discover the solutions to things (except in KQ5, which drove me nuts :P) "You see nothing spec...

Maybe the actor said "order" but the script says "society"? :P

It appears, we're *both* wrong:

At 2:02, Alhazred refers to it as the Society of the Black Cloak.

Actually, the Black Cloak Society is an AGDI creation. The only two societies created in official KQ canon are the Society of Wizards (of which at least Mordack and Crispin are members) and the Order of the Black Cloak which was mentioned in KQ6 by Alhazred who also mentioned a mysterious "Sha...

Also, I suspect it won't be referring to jupiter in hermetic qabbalah, so what about something in the fashion of 'Project X'?

How do you make Project X eight words is my question.

"That Secret We've Been Working On, Project X"?

Actually, I also fainly recall "The King's Questions" (a trivia game included with a version of the KQ collection) to mention Hagatha being related to Mordack and Manannan. That was where I first heard of it, but I thought that was created by Jane Jensen and Peter Spears. :\ I played that...

MusicallyInspired wrote:Roberta never considered Hagatha to be sister to Mordack and Manannan, but the King's Quest Companion said she was, just to shed more light on the subject.

Yes, I remembered that.
Roberta also never had anything to do with the Black Cloak Society, that was the creation of Jane Jensen, wasn't it?

Thanks Erpy! I love to be right!

I just wanted to let you all know that I've figured out that..... I really don't know. Anything. But the anticipation of finding out is killing me. From the sounds of it, I think the controversial game in question is Mask of Eternity though -- because MI did not JUST say it was controversial, he sai...

Okay, so I've got to ask about this smallll matter of contention... Was it intended in KQ2+ for Hagatha, Mordack, and Manannan all to be related? Judging by the letter to Hagatha, I said it was -- why else would Manannan call himself her sibling? He may be her brother in the Black Cloak Society but ...

I don't think there's any good Mac-exclusive games but... as a Mac user myself, I find that any game that can run on a Mac, should be run on a Mac. :P There's some ways of getting Windows-only games to run but they're all either too complicated for me to work (I'm a technotard :P) or involve having ...
