No levitation spell, just the "fly as an eagle" spell!

See, we're already having creative difference of opinions. This could be the begining of something truly useless :P

I'm fine with "Fly like an Eagle"...as long as you also use it to sneak into Medusa's fortress!

I thought we'd turned this into something useless a loong time ago. :P



Storm

As long as we're having fun with it ;)

Why don't you share your vision of Medusa's fortress with the rest of us?

Hehehe...I only have the outside pictured, and a way in...
But basically, its this big, ancient, stone building, sort of like the temple in KQ5 except out in the open, not set into any cliffs.  Also, there's snake statues decorating it.  And stone people, but they're not decorations.  There's windows around near the top, but other than that the only way in is a big door with ornate snake statues around it.  Obviously, the door is guarded and if you go through it, Medusa will know you're there and find you, and that won't end well.  I think you ought to have to have the element of surprise on her.
The other thing about her fortress is all the vultures.  Lots of vultures fly around it.  This is the clue that you need to use the "Fly Like an Eagle" spell to get in...the vultures fly in and out of the windows (which would be how you get in).
But that's all I got so far.  I also don't know what you need to get while you're in there.  Or why you know you need to go there...or....uhm...anything else.  But, doesn't it sound cool so far?

sounds interesting Q ;), but what could we use to get into Medusa's instead of the flying eagle spell ???

That's my point, Jason!  We need the spell to get in the window without her knowing. So I guess, we just need to make it so you can use the eagle twice: once to get off the mountain, and the other to get into the fortress.
The fly should also get used twice...once for eavesdropping on the bandits (which should be a *way* more substantial bit of plot) and once for seeing the rope, although that was never really necessary.  And I *know* that in the original that really only counted as one use, if you did it a certain way, but seriously....the fly could not open the door to leave the bar!  It's not possible!



Storm

What did you use the fly spell for in the original game? ???

"Never argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Questing Character

You were supposed to eavesdrop on the bandits in the bar and then fly up the hole in the acorn tree to discover the rope.  As a fly.  It was really kind of silly and pointless, actually....

Storm, you can't get rid of the hat-throwing!! It leads directly into KQ4, and I think it's a very interesting and tense moment, and the hat determining sucessor is also symbolic. Also symbolic, IMO, is that no one ever actually gets the hat.

Should it be done right then and there? No, I don't think so. Some kind of passing of time should happen. But the whole in the moment of the hat being thrown and the king having the heart attack is just too intense to totally throw out!!

Questing Character

Katie has a point.  There is, of course, no reason we COULDN'T have time pass before that happens in the end....



Storm

Funny, I never knew that about the fly spell! *mutters*crappy walkthough*mutters* :P

Don't worry, Katie, King Graham would still get his heart attack ;B We'll only omit the hat-throwing scene from KQ3+, it would still happen at the begining of KQ4. True, that scene ties up KQ3 with KQ4, but that is another reason why it should be removed from the end of KQ3+. Removing the scene would give KQ3+ better closure - KQ3 has the worst closure than any KQ.

Removing the scene would give us some ambiguity regarding how much time passed between the arrival of the twins and the throwing of the hat, and no one would be able to blame us for messing with the original timeline - our version wouldn't negate that these events happened consecutively, just give room for people to think otherwise  ;)

It would make more sense too, I think.  I mean, why pass on his hat to his son already? They *just* met.  That always irritated me.  They went from not even knowing Alexander was alive to being a perfectly normal family in seconds...

Some dude was doing kq3vga but he has taken a long vacation so lets hope that ADGD will do it after QFG2vga.
Kq rocks

Questing Character

Yeah, but he wasn't doing it with our clearly fantastically thought out ideas. :P



racx_00

Yes we have excellent ideas ;D, and that other person wouldnt have used them ;), so we must create KQ3+ !!!

Well....since all we have are ideas....
Maybe we could just hope whoever does make a KQ3+ reads this thread? ;D

This was an interesting thread to read, especially about the path and mountain.

If someone was going to make a remake of KQ3, they would probably implement it with pathfinding techniques, so that you click somewhere with the mouse and Alexander will go where you cliked. So the path wouldn't be a problem anymore :)
Just click on the lower half of the picture, and he'll find his way down the path himself.

Wee! A KQ3 remake would indeed be breathtaking... Medusas fortress and everything!

This was my first post on the KQ9-forum. I'm looking very much forward to KQ9 ;B
