I had a nice long reply that got destroyed :/

Moral of the story. KQ7 art had sprites that looked out of place. KQ7 plot was very Disney rather than romantic. KQ7 Rosella acted totally out of character in comparison to the other games to the point that I call her false Rosella in my mind. I think they had different writers for it? What ever happened, if you had no idea what the game was about, you're fine. If you grew up on King's Quest, Rosella turning from a well breed, well mannered princess that would help anyone no matter what to well, I like how KQ7 made her bolder, but I didn't like her snarky side at all in KQ7. It was totally out of place.

In saying this, I enjoyed the game alot.

Enchantermon- when you get to KQ6, think of me and all the other Alexima fans out there  I know I'll be bringing a bucket to melt into when I watch it  *giggles*

Haha, thanks.
I understand that KQVII is markedly different than the other games, but that doesn't make me hate it. It's certainly not the best in the series, but it's also far from the worst. I first discovered it in a public library (until then, I thought there were only six games; this was before we got an internet connection) and I was overjoyed because of how much I had enjoyed the rest of the games. Perhaps I was a bit blinded by my elation, but I really enjoyed it (except for the Ooga Booga parts because of the Boogeyman randomly popping up everywhere and scaring the crap out of me).

Ark: I disagree about Rosella. I always thought of her as more of a headstrong woman (given her father's adventurous nature), which fits with how KQ7 portrayed her. Her snarkier side, which does show up a couple of times in KQIV as well, is for the most part kept to herself, and when she interacts with others she does her best to be proper and respectful, only letting herself go when she's been harshly disrespected (which she wouldn't be used to, being a young princess). That didn't feel out of character to me, really.

Hehehe, I will.

[Buddy1991]

yeah, finally the whole adventure is there! Now I can watch the whole thing without having Cliffhangers ^^

Cedric saved you from taking that last spell, and he lead you to Crispian

[Enchantermon]

Yeah, yeah, I know, lol. I guess he was a little useful.

*hugs*

I really enjoyed your walkthroughs hon I like them more than the professional ones actually cause they're so clinical. I like how you have a fanboy chuckle and crack jokes at Cedric through the game Looking forward to KQ6

[Enchantermon]

Thanks! I think it's more interesting to be casual when doing things like this to make it feel less sterile and more like you're playing a game with someone rather than just watching someone play. Of course, the whole lack of interactivity kind of kills the illusion, but hey, you can only do so much.

Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying them! KQ6 isn't going to be up for a while (keep an eye on the Lost and Found thread). My best estimate right now is the beginning of July, but we'll see.

what i really like about your walkthroughs is the background information you provide... it's kinda hard to get any interesting KQ trivia these days (altough there is internet) ...

[Enchantermon]

Thanks! I'll try to keep that in mind for the future.
