Three Clues - Who Am I?

[Tawmis]

I am tall and round
Though my name says otherwise
Never went to school

Hold on are you the GRADUATED Cylinder?
Never went to school, a clue to being "Graduated"
Tall and round, like the cylinder
The name otherwise, is the only thing I am not piecing together.

Yes I am!

The middle line is a play on words "Though my name (Graduated Cylinder) says otherwise / Never went to school" How can a cylinder that never went to school call itself "Graduated"?

[Tawmis]

When you see me,
You will say I've left quite an impression.
You may wonder, what can I be
There's a secret, you will find no confession.

But as you dig for clues
The truth will become muddy
But it's what you will have to do
Even if things get bloody.

Soon, it will all make sense
I will tell you, I am not King Graham!
But! You will need concrete evidence
To discover who I truly am.

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

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

Sadly, I am not.

Hmm ... are you part of Freddy's pharmacy equipment (e.g. his mortar and pestle, his alembic etc.)?

Tawmis already guessed correctly and started a new one.

Since you've been doing Gabriel Knight playthorughs...

Are you in a Gabriel Knight game?

Excellent deduction, and historically what I've done when it's my turn here.

But no. I hate to tell you...

You are actually correct.

I am indeed in a Gabriel Knight game.

[Rath Darkblade]

Are you the clay from near Lake Pontchartrain (in GK1)?

Here's why I think so:

1. GK1 is your favourite GK.

2. "...left quite an impression..." Gabriel uses you to create one.

3. "The truth will become muddy" ... Gabriel gets the clay from within the mud near the lake.

4. "it's what you will have to do, even if things get bloody" ... Gabriel gets an impression of the silver snake amulet. There only one other amulet in the game -- the Schattenjager amulet -- and in Gabriel's dream, blood gets splashed on it.

5. Finally, people once - and still do - build with clay. (Granted, they used to build with sun-baked clay; now they use special ovens to fire the clay, which becomes as hard as concrete). There's the 'concrete evidence'!

[notbobsmith]

Are you in GK2? (Since you just post your playthough.)

[Tawmis]

Are you the clay from near Lake Pontchartrain (in GK1)?

Excellent guess, but incorrect because...

Are you in GK2? (Since you just post your playthough.)

... I am indeed found in GK2.

[Rath Darkblade]

Are you found somewhere when you play Gabriel?

(If not, it'll be when you play Grace)

[Tawmis]

Are you found somewhere when you play Gabriel?
(If not, it'll be when you play Grace)

Yes, as Gabriel.

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm ... when this happens, has Gabriel had the werewolf dream yet?

(IIRC, he has it at the end of chapter 3)

Are you the wolf footprint that you find in the beginning?

"Impression" and "muddy" refer to the print in the mud. "Concrete" is a reference to the cast that you make of the print.
