I agree that dead ends tend to mar a game. The reason why I'm okay with deaths is that when you encounter them, you immediately know you screwed up. With a dead end, you don't. You could be playing for hours on end and never realize you had to pick up some random item twenty rooms back...you'll esse...

I know for a fact that my wife would berate me for the rest of my life if I chose a sandwich over the book of all knowledge. But what would your wife do if she had the choice between "no food" or "no knowledge"? The knowledge book and the jewel are both means to ends, while food...

You must buy it.

I personally think KQ5 might be a fairly interesting project...while its soundtrack is pretty much perfect, there'd be room for improvement in most other areas. The backgrounds in the game are 256 color, so while they wouldn't require a great deal of finetuning, they could still benefit from the tre...

Try to complete all spells in the spellbook. One of them can get rid of your master. Once that's out of the way, a means of escaping Llewdor will be available.

Make sure you have the right inventory items. You'll need the rose petal essence, a jar of saffron and the magic wand. If you have those, all you need to do is follow the instructions in the spellbook.

It's random. Most people'd have to try it a few times.

One thing that's consistently implemented is that any background description mentioning Manannan changes once he's pussified. That's a lot of descriptions throughout the Llewdor part of the game.

Does that mean you have designed the game to handle that, if that situation happens, or is that a bug (a dead end)? A respawning knife, or another way to cut the cactus and then cut it in half? It's not a dead end, because if you need the knife to cut the cactus, you can always retrieve it from the...

Haha, like how you get the Infamous award. We're not that bad are we?

Hahaha. Isn't the second largest thread on your forums called the "drunk thread"? I think that answers your question.

I won't be convinced Knowledge of all things isn't above shelter or food. Give me knowledge alone, without the food or shelter, and I'll forage/hunt/fish for my own food, and make tools and shelter myself because I'd know how to. Knowledge alone does not allow you to conjure eadible substances out ...

Or perhaps there is other way, otherwise you would be in a dead end if the knife is in the cave and you would still need it for the cactus?

Bah, planning issues.

Why don't you try that? You mean THREE times. Once for the journal; once for the seawater in the vial; once for the page. You have to get the journal to open the door and get access to the vial. You need to fill the vial with seawater to make the spell to ultimately get the page. You need the page t...

Wow, the Roger Wilco. Do you mean the broom from the ship galley? I also had it in my possession, but didn't get this award.

You need another item. Think Space Quest 6.

The chair is one of the contributing factors. You can get klutz without it though, since you don't need to get all criteria in the game.

Correct. Stockholm is basically founded on the idea of keeping the wizard around for a fairly long time...opposite of grudge.

The logic behind the book/tools order was...if you had tools, but no formal education, you might still be able to build a shelter (although probably low-quality) by applying common sense and trail-and-error, but if you had formal education and lacked tools, you couldn't build said shelter ever. Peop...

Yes you are. There's I think like 5 to 6 or so klutzy actions in the game and to get the award you must do like 3 or 4. for obtaining the item and talking to the hooded man in the clearing Close, though there's a few additional criteria, but all of them are related to the Father. I turned into an ea...

A note...when The Father arc was written, Daniel wrote a raw conclusion as well, but that conclusion would take place after the existing KQ games...in other words, it'd be a sequel. As such, the story arc would be unlikely to be concluded in any KQ remakes AGDI would do. http://www.agdinteractive.co...

You can't. When you warp to town with the magic map and walk east immediately, there's a random chance Gwydion will walk face-first into the sharp end of the anchor. Klutz is not determined by a single action, btw, but by several. http://www.agdinteractive.com/forum/images/avatars/moodpics/Nashcock....

Yeah, you could always look through the doorway to see if the bandit was awake or asleep. Even in the original. Not many folks knew this though, even the KQ companion didn't mention it, and one reviewer of Redux actually blasted our game because he thought this thing was a luck-based puzzle. http://...

Thanks for the kind words. :) In the classic KQ3, I remember that I can type "KICK CAT" and the cat actually screams then run away, and Alexander started to laugh, but I can't do that in this. You can, but only after you've obtained the cat hair. You have to be fairly close before the opti...

I don't know if it was my imagination or not, but this time i saw something fly across the desert (left to right) , i couldn't figure out what it was and it didn't happen again, i tried, i wasn't looking at the top of the screen when it went across. Don't know if it means anything or is an easter e...

No. It's just something we took from the original and made a bit more obvious.

Especially since Mannanan's pet was hissing and threatening but didn't try to trip me on the stairs like in the original game. Actually, there are times when the cat is seen in the stairway to the laboratory and getting ready to pounce. (but only if you return from the laboratory itself) If you wal...
