Helllo, good people!

Methought it was high time I properly introduced myself. When I entered this beautiful place I went ahead and posted in the disappointment thread--- a major excited rant. I have obviosuly discarded all good manners-and for this uncomely behaviour I do apologize.

I am a long-time lurker and a newbie poster. King's Quest series has been my childhood game and I love it for..well I guess there is no need for me to repeat what you all know. I was strongly disgusted when kq 8 was released. This was, to misuse the words of a certain writer, "the horror, horror!".

I am 23, almost an English Major, currently in the process of completing my thesis. I am a non-native English user working as a translator. Professionally, I mostly deal with scientific or buisness translations but most of all I enjoy working with literary texts- and translating is one of my hobbies.

In games, I mostly value good storyline, non-linearity, open-endedness (which gives you the freedom to chose the outcome of your game), and memorale characters whom you can grow attached to. But good, gripping, storyline comes before everything else. It may deep ir just catchy- i just love when it twists and turns and keeps you on your toes.

With that I shall end for I think enough has been said.

I send warm regards to everyone in this community and I look forward to interacting with you.

Best regards!
