If King's Quest would have continued...

... what are some things you would have liked to have seen?
Maybe story wise?
Character wise?
Voice actors?

The only real stand alone games are King's Quest 1 and King's Quest 2.Rath Darkblade wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 3:48 am Firstly, I'd have liked to have erased "Mask of Eternity".
All the KQ games seem to be standalones, rather than a story told over a series of games. This wasn't helped by the fact that in two games you play Graham, then Alexander, then Rosella, then Graham again, then Alexander ... ay-yi-yi.
In Quest for Glory, you build your hero and stick with him over 5 games, so you build a kind of connection with him. In KQ, you jump from character to character every game, so you don't really learn much about them except "I'm the good guy/girl, and I'm here to save my family! RAH FOR ME!"
Yes! I would have loved that. I thought that was a great aspect for both KQ7 and LSL3.Semi-Happy Partygoer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 11:11 pm Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded seeing another dual protagonist entry like KQ7. Perhaps alternating play between Alexander and Graham. Not that you’d want the story to be too repetitive of 7, but one element I really liked about that game was both women visiting the same locations for different purposes.
Don't they? Before they begin their adventure into the jungle, they both move around the town?Rath Darkblade wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 12:39 am True ... but Larry and Patti don't visit the same locations in LSL3. (Would be nice if they did, though - and maybe left an item or two behind for the other person to use!)
1. I was testing out to see if something could be done.Rath Darkblade wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 5:04 pm Oh, you're right! Just watching that playthorugh, and I had a few questions:
1. What is that savegame called "Can we walk outside naked"? It sounds .............. interesting?
2. In the bamboo maze, can't you wait to give Patti water until she is on her hands and knees? (Larry, shush! You and your dirty mind!)
3. In the bamboo maze, you've used the water more than once. I thought that was impossible (since Patti throws the bottle away)?
Thanks! (And yes, Larry tans ... while wearing his leisure suit. Why? How does he not sweat like a pig? I have no idea)
OK, now I'm even more intrigued. What were you trying to test?Tawmis wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 9:43 pm1.

Are you saying that Granny is the reason that Dracula became a vampire? "Two! Ah, ah, ah. Two fangs!" (Whoops, wrong vampire)Tawmis wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 11:32 am Was also thinking... I think Red Riding Hood's grandmother had a relationship with Dracula (perhaps before he turned)... because when you give her the soup, she tells you to get the items beneath her bed... which is a ring and cloak... and when you wear them the death boat guy thinks you're someone else... the ghosts at the door think you're someone else... clearly thinking you're Dracula.
So I feel like there's a story there. Were they lovers? And he loved her so much he got into some dark stuff that turned him into a vampire, but she refused to go the dark path? As such, when she fled, she had his ring on, and took his cloak, for the weather?
There's a story there, damn it.
Also could be. I just think (because that's how my brain is wired!) - there has to be a story behind why she has TWO of Dracula's possessions.Rath Darkblade wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 10:50 pmAre you saying that Granny is the reason that Dracula became a vampire?

They weren't necessarily lovers. Maybe, in Granny's earlier years, she vaz (sorry, was) kidnapped by Dracula to become his undead bride! But she kicked him right inzethe unmentionables and fledzethe castle! And she took his ring and his cloak, because she knew itvouldwould make him angry. Oooooh, she had made him very angry. Very angry, indeed ...
