Just because I think these threads are fun for discussion -

If you were tapped as someone who had to make a King's Quest spin off - using one of the existing characters that isn't a main character (so in this case, none of the Graham family) - 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? This one is a little easier (or difficult?) than the Gabriel Knight one because the King's Quest series had a ton of different and interesting characters that are interacted with.

I remember Cedric's Quest was already a thing somewhere, so...

I'd go with Captain Saladin. Maybe a younger, cockier version of him back when he was a lower rank, and the adventure can take him off the Green Isles. Since it's a spin-off, you can change up the gameplay to be more in line with QFG, so he gets in some swordplay along the way. Personally, I wouldn't even mind it being a full 3D action-adventure, in the spirit of "Shadow of Mordor" or "Assassin's Creed", but I could probably have the same effect by modding one of those games to feature a Collie in place of the player.

A fun twist, but the plot could hinge around Saladin's dog-people being at war with a race of cat-people - and that's where the KQ universe could crash into QFG, where one of the missions has Saladin travel to Shapeir as a diplomat.

edit: glancing over at my avatar, I think that gives us an idea of what a younger, cockier Saladin would be like

This would actually be an amazingly fun idea...!

Thwy already did this with MOE.

There are so many avenues to pursue here, given the number of characters.

Clash of the Faeries - It's good versus evil up in the clouds as Titania faces off against her sister, Malicia, and Malicia's accomplice Lolotte, all the while searching for her long lost son.

Herbert's Quest - Travel alongside Prince Herbert as he searches in vain for his spoiled, selfish fiancé Alicia. When times get tough, just sit on a log with your head in your hands, and hope somebody more equipped for the job comes along.

Cadaver Quest - Help Dr. Cadaver aid the undead citizens of Ooga Booga by scouring the land for spare body parts. If push comes to shove, rob a grave or two - just leave Benjamin Crabby alone!
