I would point out that that the original KQ2 had Neptune, the mermaid, Dracula, the enchanter, the dwarf... and <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Hagatha</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> in the wedding scene. Go figure. <p></p><i></i>

Don't ask me where I got that from. But it seemed like a quaint little cultural thing to add to the environment. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestforums.showUserPublicProfile?gid=cadburywookie@royalquestforums>Cadbury Wookie</A> at: 4/21/03 3:30:16 am<br></i>

Yeah, sorry... been out of the loop-de-loop for a while. I take a short break and when I get back, the speech pack is released - and I'm waaaay behind with some Tierra-related work!<br><br>Anyway, the Ancients are a work-in-progress. What frustrated me about the KQ series is a lack of definitive sco...

I consider those poems (that I wrote) to be works-in-progress. I nearly strangled MYSELF after deciding I needed two cemetaries, not just one. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p...

You could also say that this whole KQ saga is based on a fairy tale, or tales, and that "only bad witches are ugly"! <p></p><i></i>

I still recall that day.<br>My brother and I, prostrate before the King of Daventry, waited with (some reluctant) patience for that inevitable, royal declaration:<br>"Rise, good mages."<br>I heard the quiet cracking in my older brother's back as he strained to right himself on command. Tho...

I spilled the beans?<br><br>Nearly.<br><br>I spilled MY beans!<br><br>(Besides, the alternative in question will require some 'digging' to 'uncover'.

The boatman allows Graham access to the island because he knows Graham is mortal and not really a match for Caldaur. This turns out to be 'dead' true. (BA-DA-BOOM!)<br>The imposter, on the other hand, IS a match for Caldaur and poses a real threat to the Count. One must also take into account the lo...

Players of KQ2VGA 2.0 might find an alternative way of solving a particular puzzle. I'm not saying what it is, except that it was something that started to bother me after the game was released.<br>Let's call it an "Anti-MOE" style approach. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://...

I 'adultified' her (hmmm... new word!) because of Anne Rice's young child vampire character. After all, I made an effort to get away from "Dracula"... I didn't need to do a "Lestat"!<br><br>I do have a story in mind for her... but it would need to be written outside the KQ world....

Actually, Hagatha would pop up just before Graham could insert the final stone. He would have to 'defeat' her before he could resume. Then, when she popped up again later, it would be a surprise (I had hoped).<br><br>Also, Graham was to originally 'melt' Hagatha in her cave, using a variation on the...

As for Hagatha... well, the entire scene had to be scrapped with her at the Door of Destiny. She just complained endlessly about us not using a stunt double for the <deleted> 'chasm dive' sequence. <p></p><i></i>

There was an opportunity cost to consider. I wanted to keep the original number of points, and also wanted to award more points for completing the 'big' quests. Ergo, some actions - ususally optional ones - could not be assigned points.<br><br>Suppose we could've gone for 'half-points'. Don't think ...

Really? I just thought the bubbles would look cool. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Hmmm... I should have had thrown more deceased animals into the mix.<br><br>Just think.<br><br>A sea of dead fish. A sky full of falling birds.

Never fear. The nightingale's spirit lives on. It appears as a spectral image to its kin, warding them from witches and witch wannabe's.<br><br>Actually, I'm a huge cat lover, so... hehehe! <p></p><i></i>

This option was considered, but it was decided to go for a different look for that final sequence. Actually, that montage of shots at the end was added late in the script writing stage. I fiugured we could get away with it. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglis...

I agree with you! Wouldn't it be cool if Anastasia had her own game. A vampire, searching the world for a chance to resume/restore her physical humanity (though my vampires can retain their humanity regardless - it's just a different way of life... or death... or something) would make a great story....

Wha? Someone wants to speak to me? Where? Why? I didn't do it, I tell you! Uh... ahem... sure... fire away. <p></p><i></i>

You need to begin inside the swamp - or two screens east of the north most beach. From there, the first direction will be south, as whatever poem is there will always start with an 's'.<br>They were interesting to write, if I recall. <p></p><i></i>

I meant "sew" as in "weave", not "sow" as in "plant something". <p></p><i></i>

Do not feel in any way preturbed or upset by Royal Quest's cancellation. I've read it. It could potentially offend so many people, it would do more harm than good. Tierra was wise not to release it. I thought to have a go at re-writing RQ, using my developing screenplay format, but it would take a f...
