Intro & Kolyma layout

#1 Post by Syntax was Taken » Thu Jun 05, 2003 9:06 am

Okay, I downloaded KQ2 and installed it a couple days ago.<br><br>First off, I'd say the download was worth it for the intro alone. I mean, holy crap, I wasn't expecting that, especially for a fan-made game. The Magic Mirror sequence was simply incredible..<br><br>Anyway, it's been a long time since I've played KQ2, but I was amazed in that absolutely none of it is familiar. I mean, at least I recognized the Daventry layout in KQ1, and a lot of the side quests and the general storyline. But it's suddenly like I'm playing a completely new game.. some extra KQ game snuck into the series. I'm just surprised that I forgot absolutely everything, except to remember to always look inside tree stumps and logs.<br><br>So I was wondering if the remake was as close to the original as KQ1 VGA was to its. It even seems like there should be a sapphire brooch under some log or something, along with a bunch of other sapphire jewelry, but all I've found are the earrings and been given the opal. Maybe I haven't found everything yet, but hell, I don't even remember the town, much less the library and antique shop.<br><br>Anyway. Just curious as to how bad my memory's gotten. <p></p><i></i>

In certain cases, it's even better to forget what you've learned in KQ2, since KQ2+ might have an entirely different solution.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashn ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

It's not your memory that's failing you. While KQ1VGA was a 1:1 remake, KQ2VGA is so much more <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> . Almost all items and characters from the original are included in some form, but it's not all the same. <p></p><i></i>

So really.. it's like getting a whole new game, stuck somewhere in the KQ series with all the trimmings of the series' Golden Age.<br><br>Well, that's awesome. Thanks for that. <p></p><i></i>
