After playing the Quest for Glory 2 remake since its release, several oddities have begun to appear. These symptoms generally point to playing the game way, way too much. So, without further ado, You Know You've Been Playing Too Much Quest for Glory 2 When . . .

. . . the "chase" theme plays when you begin running somewhere.
. . . . . . and the "death" theme when you trip.
. . . ordinary graffiti suddenly holds new meaning.
. . . you stick various devices up your nose in order to improve your skill with them (don't try this one at home!)
. . . that vase on your friend's mantle looks like it could go for at least 30 dinars.
. . . you sneak everywhere in a vain attempt to improve a skill you don't have.
. . . flowers become a new way of expressing yourself to others.
. . . trees hold a new fascination.
. . . . . . and you can't stop hugging them.
. . . you attempt to stop a tornado by throwing dirt at it (again, don't try this at home!)

Anyone else?

Slightly less amusing, but...

- You actually have freaky/strange dreams about the game world, or playing the game.
- You find yourself humming assorted pieces of music that fit with any real-life situations that are even remotely appropriate (the Metal Worker's thief job bit when trying to skirt by your boss at work, say?) Or, a game tune will just pop into your head at random, then 'will not go away' no matter what you do.

My wife walked into a room to find my two-year-old daughter holding her hands over her eyes. When she asked what my daughter was doing, my daughter said, "I'm raising my skills!" Yes, I think my daughter has watched me play a wee bit of Quest for Glory recently (though I'm still not sure what skill she was raising...).

Your daughter must be incredibly intelligent to have picked that up so young.
What a wonderful story :)

I can attest to the validity of that warning. I've been without power for 48 hours and the dirt didn't do a dang thing (though in truth it was a gale-force windstorm, not a tornado).

Heh-heh-heh; I should have done that to my old one (though I prefered the fact that I'm a mid-May birthday and, as such, am under the sign of Taurus and have the emerald as my birthstone).
