I like all of the QfG games, but I like TbF and SoD especially and equally. They're both excellent games.

Finally...managed to get a copy of QfGV. I decided to run through the first four games to get a character, and I started on V today.

I have to say that it's a lot better than I expected. I hate how you lose skills that you don't use much, but the combat seems simple enough to not be completely out of place in a QfG game. While I'll admit I'm not big on the keyboard movement, the 3D looks great to me.

That's just my $.02.

I always loved the mood of QfG5. The lovely settings and the gorgeous ambient background music really set the mood. Not to mention the subtle day/night cycles. I also like that it gives some closure on various characters that you've met earlier in the series. I found it to be a fun game and I actually liked it a lot for those reasons, even if there are some aspects of it I didn't care for. I want to live in Silmaria.

I liked to toss darts at that parrot. I think those were darts... maybe they were daggers. That'd be even better. That stupid parrot got on my nerves!

Those were daggers you were tossing at Nawar's Wheel of Fortune.

I know what you mean about the Parrot. That coarse laughter followed by "You lose, sucker!" quickly became the most annoying thing I could hear, early on in the game. Fortunately I worked out a system to beat the Wheel of Fortune.

I never played the Wheel...

Uhm... I really should re-play all the games with a thief!
