Three Clues - Who Am I?

[Tawmis]

From the hero's view (looking in) - are you located on the left side?

Yes, I am on the left.

[Tawmis]

Are you the Enterprise/Exitprise?

[Rath Darkblade]

GAH! That was my next guess!

Oh, well.

[notbobsmith]

Are you the Enterprise/Exitprise?

Yes I am!

Sitting on a shelf -- Self explanatory
I don't really belong here -- As part of non-Sierra sci-fi franchise, doesn't belong in the game
You've seen me before -- As Tawmis shows, the Enterprise is seen in the opening credits too

Part of my name is both ends of a deed. -- Rath was correct. Both ends of a deed is the letter "D" and the ship is the Enterprise-D

Even though I believe in free enterprise, I can't be bought or sold.

Look at the clues that I've given you. Sometimes the answer is in plain sight. -- See above

Your turn, Tawmis.

[Tawmis]

Sweet. Need to think of something. Will have something tomorrow - brain is fried from running D&D tonight.

[Tawmis]

Search for the words, before you proceed;
There is no warning, for you to heed.
See me for a moment or briefly;
It's up to you, how much you see.
You will see me elsewhere;
These are the clues I thought I'd share.

[Rath Darkblade]

............. all right. Nothing much leaps to mind, except one idea. I'm probably wrong, but I'll ask anyway:

Are you Suleiman ben Daoud (aka "The Name of Power") in QfG2?

Here's my reasoning:

1. Search for the words, before you proceed; ... in the cave, you are paralysed and can't continue without speaking that name.

2. There is no warning, for you to heed. ... no-one tells you what name to speak.

3. See me for a moment or briefly; ... you'll hear that name - briefly - from the Sultan in Shapeir.

4. It's up to you, how much you see. ... you must take note of that name!

5. You will see me elsewhere; ... you'll definitely know the name if you know either the Bible or Koran/Qu'ran. (Suleiman ben Daoud is King Solomon, son of David. In Muslim belief, Solomon had assistance from many genies).

6. These are the clues I thought I'd share. ... done!

[notbobsmith]

I think I'll start with the basics.

Are you in a game with "Quest" in the title?

I like it! But, sadly, no!

I think I'll start with the basics.

Yes!

For Rath's logical guess...

Phew. Giving clues is going to be difficult.

Let's see...

Search for the words, before you proceed;
There is no warning, for you to heed.
See me for a moment or briefly;
It's up to you, how much you see.
You will see me elsewhere;
These are the clues I thought I'd share.
First you will see me before the sunlight;
But you will also see me before night;
But no matter how hard you've tried
You will never see me once you're inside.

Are you in a King's Quest game?

[Rath Darkblade]

Are you in a Quest for Glory game?

[Tawmis]

Are you in a King's Quest game?

Yes!

Are you in a Quest for Glory game?

No (the last one was QFG! That'd be messed up to go right back into it!)

[Rath Darkblade]

Ah, great. Well, that rules me out!

Are you in an even-numbered KQ game?

[Tawmis]

Are you in an even-numbered KQ game?

Yes!
