Re: What are you playing now?

Either that, or when I did my play through I got very lucky... because there's a lot I didn't remember about KQ5... and the biggest pain was the desert.MusicallyInspired wrote:I'm going to go ahead and assume you're being sarcastic.Tawmis wrote:I think it's pretty difficult to die in KQ5...
Unless you're talking about an experienced player, then it's not too easy to die.
Well, that one is obvious to avoid. Cedric even warns you.MusicallyInspired wrote:Ok let's start at the beginning:Other than that there's only a few places where you can die that I know of (inside the one tavern, if you walk up to those guys... and the yeti...)
-Death by snake bite
I wasn't even aware that was possible, in the eons, I've had the game.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by falling in river (x3 screens to the south)
Wait. How do you die by the bees?MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by bees
Is this if you approach? I've never been killed by the bear. Similar to the snake, no need to approach (it's obvious, like not walking in front of a moving bus) unless you have something to use.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by bear
Oh! Yes, I forgot about her. She got me once, before I remembered what to do.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by witch
Don't remember this?MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by scorpion
Well. Yeah. This one is the one I mentioned is the most common.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by desert
True. But this was easy to avoid.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by bandits (x3: at the mountainside, at the camp, in the bandits' tent)
Yes! You're right. This one also got me once on my most recent play through.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Trapped in treasure hold
True again, though the witch was almost the last thing I did in the area, until I had nothing else to do.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Dying in dark forest for not having the items you need to escape (x2, spider death on bottom-right screen, tentacle death on top-left screen)
True, this one I knew what to do. I can see how someone else wouldn't (or didn't react in time).MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death in inn if not helped rat
True, but this one even warns you about proceeding forward.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by freezing
Never had this one happen. (Granted I ate the wrong thing way back when... which is needed for something else).MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by hunger
True, this one got me once in my most recent play through.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by grappling branch instead of rock with rope
Well that's STANDARD in King's Quest.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by falling off numerous ledges
I think you made your point.MusicallyInspired wrote: -Death by stepping on wrong ledge on snowy mountains
-Death by not using sled
-Death by wolves for not playing harp
-Death by Yeti
-Death by hatchling if not helped Eagle
-Death by hole in boat
-Death by sea monster
-Death by Harpies for not playing harp
-Death by falling at Mordack's island (numerous ledges)
-Death by statue laser eyes
-Death by Mordack (for a MYRIAD of reasons, causing any disturbances at all like playing the organ, the cat seeing you, etc)
-Death in the prison (if haven't helped Cassima)
-Death by Mordack if not charged wand
-Death by Mordack if not helped Cedric
-Death by choosing wrong spells or not using spells in time (x6 I think)
That's all I can think of atm.
