Title: Easter Eggs / Did You Try?
Post by: C_Guy on December 15, 2010, 10:03:46 AM
Would it be possible to sticky an "Easter Egg / Did You Try..." thread for Episode 2?  Although I played the Episode through without a walkthrough, I'd hate to miss out on a great scene somewhere.  I also understand there's an Easter Egg but so far have been unable to find it. 

I'd sure like to have one thread to discuss these little gems.  To start, can someone give me a hint as to where the Easter Egg is in Episode 2?

No problem. Just doing my job as your friendly neighborhood moderator! As for a hint to get started, how about Suffer? He's hidden in the game somewhere. We actually ran a contest a while back where you had to find him. See if you can find suffer. He's under lock and key...  ;)

Did you try...
[spoiler]Hanging around the guard dogs in front of the Castle of the Crown for a bit...[/spoiler]

Only just noticed that, very subtle.

On a related note, I've always wondered if the 80s/90s Sierra jingle would work at all with the 2002-2008 logo sequence...

In fact, What do you think? (http://sslaxx.twu.net/SierraOnlineEntertainment.avi)

Hooray for video codecs, not. Try it in VLC?
Alternatively... (http://sslaxx.twu.net/SierraOnlineEntertainment.ogv) - you'll still need VLC (sorry), but it should have a much better chance of playing, at least.

And there's where that came from in episode 3! We haven't forgotten all the KQ games. We pulled from the lore of all 8 games.

Nope. I mean episode 3. We have some more references to not just MoE but also several other past KQ games in episode 3. I wonder who will find them all?

Candles

[spoiler]Did you find the crying Graham head? I still don't understand the purpose of it, but I got it from lighting all of the candles and then checking out the circle. I thought it was a component for the living salt ingredient for such a long time! But when I did the two enchantments and the candle melted, I knew that you obviously couldn't light anymore candles which meant the crying head was useless because the game obviously wouldn't screw me over by not letting me have the head after the enchantments were done. Was there a point for this item? If so I don't really get it  ??? [/spoiler]
Title: Re: Easter Eggs / Did You Try?
Post by: KatieHal on February 22, 2011, 10:03:18 AM
That item is an easter egg related to one of the contests we're running, Drusain.

What exactly triggers the "T'is beyond his reach" line? Because sometimes, if I click an item, Graham will walk to it and then interact with it, and other times, the narrator informs me that it's beyond his reach.

There are a couple of things.
-Trying to interact with something while sitting
-Trying to interact with something that is beyond a camera change trigger

Did anybody try talking to the crow? Multiple times? Jason recorded some pretty great lines there! XD

Yep.  Valanice got Ranger-napped.  Not sure where he's taking her though.

As for Easter eggs I haven't found any yet.  I did notice that the dresses in the market appear to be homages to Disney princess dresses (granted with different color schemes.)
