I appreciate the Kings Quest series

[Tawmis]

Then again, I also found KQ4 quite challenging, and it also has a female protagonist (which isn't common in Sierra games). KQ7 has two, of course, but other than those? Laura Bow, Grace Nakimura ... Patti (in LSL3 and LSL5) ... Can anyone recall any others?

The first Phantasmagoria.

Which do you like more.

Gabriel Knight 2 FMV game, Phantasmagoria 1 game or Phantasmagoria 2 game?

I love GK2, because it's so massive. But Phant 1 tells a truly horrifying story.

Phant 2 is probably the least liked, and only because of the end and that whole "Dimension X" thing.

As for me ... I don't like the horror genre, so I never played either Phantasmagoria game.

However, I enjoy learning about other countries, and I enjoy listening to opera (and if I can understand it, so much the better). For those reasons, I loved GK2 -- and it also spawned my interest in Ludwig II of Bavaria, who is featured in the "Ludwig Museum" and the castle that Grace goes to.

In fact, when a friend of mine launched a Gabriel Knight 4 campaign years ago (now sadly defunct), I was asked if I wanted to help by writing a piece for it, and I jumped at the opportunity to write a short biography of Ludwig's personal life, his achievements, anecdotes about him, and his strange death.

But this isn't the place to discuss that, so if anyone is interested, feel free to PM me.
