Things I Learned by Playing King's Quest

[Jeysie]

In the interest of sparking even more creativity, I present this idea that came to me today while feeling really bored.

Anyhoo. Things I learned by playing King's Quest:

Always be kind to slaves and peasants, for you may have entertained royalty unawares.

You can find your true love by looking in a mirror.

If it's not nailed down, pick it up - you might need it.

If it is nailed down, pry out the nails, and then pick it up.

Help everyone you can, even if it means going out of your way to do so. The chances are high that they'll later give you something you need and/or save your butt.

Music does indeed soothe the savage breast.

Royal men/women can't jump. Neither can they swim or survive falls from moderate heights.

(I can think of more, but that would defeat the purpose of getting people to post! )

Peace & Luv, Liz

If you're a lady in distress, you're knight in shining armor will save you--and more likely than not, he's a king or prince of some type.

-Royal Viziers, advisors, chancellors, and other high ranking politicians should all be tossed into a deep, dark dungeon full of alligators.

-Despite the obviousness of aforemention high ranking politicians' untrustworthiness, Kings, Queens, High Lords, and other such powerful and respected rulers have a tendancy to entrust entire armies and significant portions of the kingdom to them. The logical conclusion, leaders of men are terribly gullible.

Despite it doesn't fit in with the rest of them...

-how to spell

[Questing Character]

--caps with a feather in them are not just for Robin Hood, but must be worn by people in tights.
--spelling things correctly is VERY important
--never carry valuables when bearded midgets are around.  Especially in dark places.
--you cannot duck under a witch on a broomstick.
--goats hate trolls
--leprechauns can't dance NEARLY as well as they are advertised to.
--if you're hearing animals talk to you, you probably ate something strange

[Jeysie]

Yes, believe it or not, it is technically supposed to be "breast", not "beast".

Peace & Luv, Liz

Shrek lies, all ogres really are pissed off monsters out to kill you.

Never go swimming...never.

Run away immediately from anything that hits on you...

[Kimmie]

if u eat a sugar cube the thorns cant touch you...atleast i think thats what happend!

keep harassing people until they give you what they want

sometimes odd patterns in cliffs dont actually help you win the game  

witches drive batmobiles

snakes are not always what they seem! infact most things arent what they seem!

cartoon characters can be quite sexy

[FataliOmega]

-All evil warlocks, witches, and sorcerers (and all of the typical, assorted Demonologists) have enough power to rule the world, but lack stylish, professional, and cool looking castles/houses/methods of transportation. Logical conclusion:

All of the aforementioned nasties are bachelors that have neither family, peer groups, or potential spouses within a hundred mile radius.

[FataliOmega]

-OH! And every citizen that populates towns adjacent to these crumbling spires of evil are rich enough to let the local, bumbling hero routinely deplete their homes of gold and goods.

Also, how to spell from the original KQ1 -- just like LN  

[FataliOmega]

(I like this thread... I wont let it die.)


All adventuring heroes are automatically given a Dimension-warping Utility Mini Bag (or, D.U.M.B.) which can carry up to four tons, two elephants or one blue page. This is a key to any would-be American Adventurer. A British variant is sometimes a walking, homicidal chest complete with hundreds of tiny little legs. Those British are just jealous OUR carrying device has such a cool acronym.

-sending Graham into the moat, is FUN  

[FataliOmega]

Sending Cedric into the moat would be better  

[Louisiana Night]

Sending Cedric into the moat would be better  

Bad idea.

Fatali, did you learn about D.U.M.B. from King's Quest?

[Storm]

- That the world is round: if you walk in one direction long enough, you'll reach the same spot you started out of

What, and you didnt?

Or you get eaten by voracious sand wyrms. Guess it depends on your neighborhood.
