Designing a Police Quest Spinoff -

[Tawmis]

This one might be rough...

There were not a lot of additional characters that Sonny ran into that stuck out... But...

Just because I think these threads are fun for discussion -

If you were tapped as someone who had to make a Police Quest spin off - using one of the existing characters that isn't a main character (so in this case, no Sonny or Marie) - who would you make it about?

Essentially it'd be a way to create a game to develop and focus on another character, other than the main character(s).

So if you couldn't think of a game idea, who (aside from the main character(s)) do you wish you knew more about?

I can think of one - the captain of the station in PQ1, the one who "the Gremlin" was always pranking. (Remember that live chicken on his desk?)

I can't remember his name (Captain Dooley???) but I'd love to see more of him.

Or maybe Sonny's partner from PQ2, Keith Robinson. We don't know much about him, either. He struck me a a good guy.

Wasn't he the one who would randomly go on breaks during an arrest? Or was that in PQIII?

Sgt. Dooley. Maybe a spinoff could be about The Gremlin, Laura Watts. You have to do normal police work, but then have opportunities to do pranks on Dooley.

He was in PQ2 and would vanish at the drop of a hat. At least he doesn't try to kill you.

Whoops. Well, I haven't played PQ1 in simply ages - you can tell...

Oh, so the Gremlin is Laura Watts? When does Sonny (and the player) learn that? *curious*

Well, that's always a good start for someone you'd trust with your life...

It's in the personnel files on the computer in PQ2.
