Title: Scoring and what about Rosella and Edgar
Post by: dew7 on May 24, 2006, 12:11:45 AM
I have now recently replayed KQ5, KQ6 and KQ7 and I was wondering if The Silver Lining will have a scoring system or will it just measure progress like KQ7.  Also, what will happen to Rosella.  Will she marry Edgar who she is just courting now.  Thanks for any information on these topics.

To your first question, yes. There will be a scoring system (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?topic=2815.0).

To your second...  :suffer:

;P

They started courting in 7, so I'll assume they still are.

Come on, you can't expect them go tell you about a big plot point like THAT. Be more subtle. :P

I want Rosella and Edgar to get married. You'll have to wait until the game comes out to see how the plot goes.

True... The plot won't be given until the right time!

It is most likely that edgar will be in KQIX.... the rest about them going to marry i'm not 100% sure

Edgar's in a few of the screenshots and one of the voice clips, so he's definitely going to be in the game.

As for Rosella marrying him...I think it would be a bit hard for her to settle down. "There's so many things she hasn't done yet!" :P

I agree.

But she's already had fun :P

True, but she hasn't done most of the stuff her father or brother have. You can tell she wants to experience everything. Having a husband would tie her down a bit. He could come with her (but Edgar doesn't seem like the adventuring type) or he could stay home (poor Edgar. XD)

KQ7 was an adventure, I think he probably enjoyed that :P

Well, I think they could be dating, maybe even engaged, but not married, and Rosella would likely have to dawn her own adventurerers cap, a pink one, and go on some adventures into the unknown...
Title: Re: Scoring and what about Rosella and Edgar
Post by: Rosella on May 27, 2006, 01:57:16 PM
I doubt that adventurer's cap thing. Pink was never Rosella's color. :P Edgar and Rosella are most likely still dating though, since they were at the end of KQ7.
Title: Re: Scoring and what about Rosella and Edgar
Post by: dark-daventry on May 27, 2006, 02:08:10 PM
I was joking! XD And I would believe that they are still dating...

Be that as it may, I'll bet a baker's dozen forum cookies that they get married either at the beginning or at the end of TSL.

Well, I am looking forward to what will happen between the two of them.  I hope the Silver Lining wraps up this question and more.  Btw, it really seems like MoE really did not add anything to the KQ storyline.  Does anyone know if Sierra was hoping it would be popular because of first person shooters.

Now at the end, I won't disagree with you. A lot will happen to her between now and the end of TSL, and I wouldn't be surprised if her outlook changes.

I'm still unsure of all of this. I get the feeling she won't be married by TSL's end, and I mean by the end of Eternities, not Shadows!
Title: Re: Scoring and what about Rosella and Edgar
Post by: Rosella on May 28, 2006, 06:41:34 AM
Well, if she's not married before TSL's end, we'll be wondering when/if/who she'll marry. So I think they have to give us closure. :P

It seems clear that Rosella will marry by the end of TSL, because the creators of the game have promised us that the game will tie up all the loose ends.  It would be a serious loose end if Rosella were to remain unmarried at the end of TLS, unless they intend her to be an eternal spinster, which is most unlikely.  Furthermore, the creators have said that, in the case of games with more than one possible ending, they will use the most complete ending, meaning that Rosella and Edgar are together at the end of KQ7.  Although it is possible that Rosella will marry someone else, it is unlikely that they will introduce a completely new character for such an important role.  The only other serious candidate from among the known characters is Connor, and Connor will be married to Sarah.

The more important question is who will be successor to King Graham.  Daventry is based on England, and, under the English rules of succession, Alexander would succeed King Graham.  However, Alexander is already King of the Green Isles.  Will Alexander then be King of both kingdoms, or, by accepting the kingship of the Green Isles, will he have had to relinquish the right to rule over Daventry?  Under English rules of succession, he would rule both kingdoms, just as James became King of England and Scottland.  However, if he has relinquished the right to rule over Daventry, that would make Rosella Queen of Daventry.

The next question is, assuming that Rosella married Edgar, what will Edgar's title be.  Under English law, Rosella would be Regnant Queen, and Edgar would be Prince Consort.  However, by the same token, Alexander should be Prince Consort of the Green Isles, not King, since he married into the position.  But since the Green Isles are based on Arabia, and I don't think that Arabic law permits Regnant Queens, that might be the reason that Alexander became King rather than Prince Consort.

If Rosella becomes Regnant Queen and Edgar, Prince Consort, then clearly Rosella would have the higher position.  But if Edgar were granted the title of King, then would he have the higher position, or would they be equals?  Again, under English law, a King outranks a Queen, but there was one exception.  Under the reign of William and Mary, the two monarchs were supposed to be equals.  In fact, William had all the power, and Mary only reigned when William was away.

I believe the intent was to broaden the appeal of the game by getting the first-person shooter crowd to play, while not alienating the adventure gaming crowd.  But, as has been discussed elsewhere, the game was designed by a committee, Roberta Williams lost control of the game, and the result was what we have today.

I like the idea of a marreid couple, a husband and wife, going on adventures together. Can anyone say adventurous honeymoon? Perhaps
Rosella and Edgar will go to the QFG universe on their honeymoon, and have some grand adventures there.

Now that it's been revealed that both Edgar and Cassima were going to be playable characters, then I think that it's clear that Rosella will marry Edgar.  It  would seem absurd that Edgar would be playable, yet that Rosella would marry someone else.

But they're NOT. :P They probably changed the storyline a bit to evolve around that fact.

Post by: maestro on June 03, 2006, 01:40:40 PM
Oh, I'm sure that the storyline has undergone a lot of changes since then.  But I doubt that something as fundamental as Rosells's husband would have changed.  It's possible, though.
