Best Adventure Game Sidekick! (Final Battle)

[therogue]

Grace gets my vote

[Jules]

And she gets another one! I vote Grace.

[Tawmis]

Seriously misled people...

[Collector]

Keep in mind, Tawm, several that didn't vote for Boogle admitted that they have never played Torin's Passage. I loved the game and I usually really dislike cartoon style games.

[Datadog]

Yes, their votes don't count. jk

[AndreaDraco]

Just so we know, are you planning another battle Data? Maybe something like the villain poll that Rudy attempted a little while ago? Or the most beutiful locations? I adore these challenges!

[Datadog]

We should do a few more villain polls like Rudy's (Best SQ Villain, Best QFG Villain, etc.) Then we can match up all the winners against each other.

Best locations? There's quite a lot to pick from for that one. Do you have any in mind?

[Collector]

Or best narrators poll, as suggested.

[Datadog]

Oh, right. It's been over a week.

GRACE WINS!

So what should she win?

[AndreaDraco]

A trip on the same island as Gabriel? So that they can finally be together!

[Tawmis]

Oh, right. It's been over a week.

GRACE WINS!

So what should she win?

A punch in the face by the superior Boogle.

[Collector]

She gets Cedric as a sidekick for life.

[Rath Darkblade]

Hey, give the poor kid a break. She spends much of GK1 taking care of the shop and an overgrown kid on a bike. She's overworked, underpaid and mostly unappreciated (by Gabe most of the time - by Bruno, certainly). Then Gabe gets to fly off to Germany, while Grace has to stay behind and mind the shop. On top of that, she very nearly gets sacrificed by a voodoo priest to some 300-year-old vengeful spirit. And when the whole thing finally leads to a successful book launch and Gabe gets to be a success, what does Grace hear? Some customer going on about Gabe and "isn't he dreamy".

To be honest, I reckon Grace took a hell of a lot of flack for Gabe in the first game. I don't think she can be blamed for feeling just a teensy bit annoyed about him. True, Gerde doesn't deserve the sharp end of Grace's tongue, but:

a) the fact that Grace gets annoyed at all (even at the wrong person) fleshes out her character more; and
b) to her credit, Grace realises almost instantly that she did the wrong thing, and tries to make amends to Gerde.

To some up, Grace isn't some kind of demon-in-a-dress, and it's unfair to treat her like one.
