Ouch. Poor Rosella...

Is the game being a ROYAL pain? Need a hint? Got a problem? This is the place to discuss King's Quest!

Ouch. Poor Rosella...

Post by Akril »

I stumbled upon this list of the Top Ten Terrible Video Game Novelizations during a Google search. Look at the book in the #7 slot.

On one hand, I agree that See No Weevil is the weakest book of the KQ novel series by far, but on the other hand...


Rosella is "the Jar Jar Binks of the King's Quest universe"?! I thought that was Cedric's official title! :D

My guess? While the book may have been horrible - reading the above about being the most hated character - I almost believe our dear Michael Drucker may be uncomfortable in his sexuality and disliked playing a female character!

As you stated, Cedric, by far, takes the title of most annoying character in King's Quest, without even a close second.

It sounds like he mostly hated her based on her actions in the book. Out of all the KQ characters, Rosella should be right up in the top five better ones. The most hated seem to reserved for many side-characters in KQ5 and KQ7.
