Ah, think I figured out my problem, had two of them in fact. Not only did I not give the thief sign to Elsa, I forgot to talk to Ferrari at his rare appearance in the Dead Parrot after Ugarte's poisoning.

Anyhow in 5 if you have a multi-hybrid you should be easily able to get all your stats to 500 or 550 quickly, the only difficult parts of stat grinds come when you don't have particular skills (I think it's Acrobatics and Stealth you need to do the hold-down-g-and-k trick which makes your stamina pl...

Personally I'd just get your char good enough to complete 4 (maybe max out Frostbite) and then go into 5. 5 is much faster at stat grinds and spell grinds -- it's not too hard to get most of your spells up to 500 (with the exception of a few certain new spells, which can only be used in certain cond...

OK, for the life of me I can't get Elsa to take me to rob Minos. I didn't show her the thief sign before the rites began (doh). She does come into my room at night (after starting the Rite of Peace) to tell me of how she suspects Minos, I flash the sign then, but she never comes back on any subseque...

For SCI versions up to 1.0, yes, but not the 1.1 that QFG 3 & 4 use.

I would have been interested in patching 3 but not sure I wanna write all the decompiler tools to do so.

Yeah, that's how my thief always is. I was quite pissed in 5 that they rolled Honor into Communication, I liked the idea of the fast talking and charismatic thief who smiles as he robs you blind

I'm order 550-something so be sure they print at least that many!

Haven't gotten mine yet either, though I ordered a week ago.

Hmm, I have:

QFG1 VGA
QFG3
QFG4
QFG Anthology
QFG 5
King's Quest 1
King's Quest 2
King's Quest 3
King's Quest 4
King's Quest 5
King's Quest 6
King's Quest: Mask of Eternity
Phantasmagoria
Gabriel Knight
Gabriel Knight 2
Gabriel Knight 3

The game DOES track which wishes you used with the Djinni I don't think you understood what I wrote. I meant that if you get 250 points for 2 random abilities legally, but 250 points for other abilities via cheating, then QFG3 wouldn't know which of them were the 2 legal ones and which were the che...

Yikes! Ok thanks guys, here's hoping I don't miss something crucial then! :eek Just eat breakfast and dinner at the inn, and visit the adventurer's guild + all plazas + the saurus stables at least one time per day and you're guaranteed not to miss any timed thing; they're not hidden or anything. If...

You contradict yourself. Even if you don't believe Brainiac, it's obvious QFG3 accepts at least up to 250 in everything (because it can't tell which is cheating and which is Djinni). The game DOES track which wishes you used with the Djinni -- if you're a fighter, and you up strength, even if it's ...

Anonymous Game Creator 2 wrote: It seems the armor is not imported into QFG3 at all, but rather is given to you based on your class.

Yeah, mages and thieves don't even get armor in 3. Then they can all get platemail in 4 (but it has a different icon based on your class). Go figure.

It's not THAT bad. Even at max speed I have 75-85% accuracy with the daggers (on small targets like brigands, on scorpions it's 100%). i agree with this, and i have also seen that sometimes when you hit a brigand or a ghoul they will pause, alowing you to keep hitting them. this pause wears off aft...

Just like with QFG 3 and 4, clicking the mouth on her is "ask". Click the mouth on yourself for "tell".

Could it be the same Katrina from Shadows of Darkness? If you don't wanna spoil it, how about you PM me with the info, so that no one will know? Spoiler below, highlight for the answer: Yes, it's the same Katrina from Shadows of Darkness. As part of QFG5 you go to Hades, and have the option to make...

Ooh, his sound effects sound awesome in that video. I wonder if it's possible to make DOSBox do that. Back in the day when I ran Win98 or so, I set the game to General MIDI and it sounded pretty sweet. DOSBox has the authentic sound of the SB16, but... it has the authentic sound of the SB16. It can...

Too bad NRS probably isn't going to revisit his patch coding one more time to fix (if he can) this problem and the Wraith appearance/death-freeze glitch. I'd try it if there were a good script decompiler/recompiler for SCI 1.1, but all the SCI VGA tools only handle 1.0 (they don't handle the new fo...

Some of these are design choices. Should you really die from trying to pick your own nose? What if you just refused to hand out points when the player is exhausted instead of killing them? There's something to be said for being faithful, but we all know Sierra made a lot of really horrible design c...

As far as QfG4, I'm still working on that. The spell will appear immediately if it is hacked in, but it doesn't naturally appear at the start upon import, so my tests are not yet complete. You've actually managed to hack QFG4? More than I've done ;) as it seems the stats aren't as simply stored as ...

Honor points, I believe only.

I finished with 550/500 on my Paladin and never returned the reward for the fire elemental.

The one shot you have is casting the Force Bolt one extra time after Ad Avis is dealt with. That can offset it sometimes. This is what you get for not using NewRisingSun's patches. Still happens to me even WITH his patch. Anyhow the basic method to deal with it is this: 1. Load an earlier save. 2. ...

Here's another question maybe someone knows. I tried emailing NewRisingSun but the email address is dead. Which are the newest patches of his? http://tawmis.com/collector/Patches-Updates/Patches-Updates-Games/QuestForGloryUpdates.html seems to have larger patches that change more files, while http:/...

No way to do that on dosbox right? Variable positions... Will try it. It's not actually THAT hard on QFG 1-3 (4 is much harder). Although the positions of the various spells and stats change, they don't change relative to each other -- so if you know the sequence of bytes you're looking for, you ca...
