Yeah, I was think more along the lines of two powerful old guys who have tremendous powers yet sit together to play chess.

For all we know, he could have been the nefarious wizard from King's Quest 1 though I am not sure about that one.

Kind of like Xavier and Magneto in X-Men?

Edit: oops - apparently that's where this came from. :P

Yes, I can see it now. "I am the most evil wizard in all the lands, so I'm going to paralyze you."

The wizard from the second one would be slightly more likely in that he turns you into a frog.

But I really doubt that we've actually seen Shadrack before.
This is Nifty, Royal Heir.

I'm like, an adult now or something? Sounds fake, but okay.

No, nothing at all like that, why do you ask? :P XD

And anyway, those aren't wizards, they're enchanters. ;)

I know, I know, semantics, I'm just messing.
So what if I am, huh? Anyways, I work better when I'm drunk. It makes me fearless! If I see a bad guy, I'll just point my sword at him and saaaaaaaaaay, "Hey! Bad guy! You're not s'posed to be here! Go home or I'll stick you with my sword 'til you go, 'Ouch! I'm dead!' Ah-ha-ha!" Ha-ha. *hic* See? Ain't no one gonna be messin' wit' ol', Benny!

Or... were they sorcerers?

Oh well, I'm sure the game takes all three of them.

Of course, KQ2 also lets you refer to any of the girls by any of the girls' names... as in, you can call Valanice Hagatha or Grandma and it still works. Yeah, it's kind of freaky.

No, no, no!
One of them was a sorcerer and the other an enchanter. Neither was wizards.

Gawsh, it's like you guys don't even know the difference. Haven't you met any spellcasters? Lordy! :P

Actually, the sorcerer/enchanter thing is what thought it was... so one of them enchants and the other... sorcers?

Will there be Another Trailor in the Weekend, since it was kinda silly in a way to Open a New Site/Board and release the Trailer at the Same time. :P

The Trailer should've been Released in this Weekend and then the Game Part 1 Next Weekend.  :suffer:

What are we gonna do/get this weekend. :D

Y'know, when I first got here, I didn't really understand what the big deal was about the :suffer: icon.  It didn't seem clear to me why everyone hated it.

I get it now.  :pokerface:

The guy in KQ1 is referred to as the 'Sorcerer'. The guy in KQ2 is the 'Enchanter', or the 'Evil Enchanter'.

http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sorcerer
He's apparently intended to be the same sorcercer that stole the Magic Mirror and hid it with the Dragon.

http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/Evil_Enchanter
He was a member of the Magician's guild. Graham thought he might have been the same Sorcerer he ran into in Daventry, see above. But he wasn't sure.

http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/Magician%27s_Guild
Manannan was also a member of said guild.

Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg

Yeah, that's what I thought it was, Baggins.

Nah, that's not freaky...

What's really freaky is you refer to any of the girls as "sl**", "wh***", "b*tch", "c*nt", "hose bag", and the game will reply  (I mean literally spelling them out, not versions this site censors).

If you are really freaky you can refer to them as as  "sp**m burping gutter sl**".

I discovered it while looking through the files with an AGI editor program. Its bizarre. I don't understand how Roberta let it through. There are somethings that don't belong in the parser.

It's the darkside of KQ (long before Royal Quest :p).

QFG1 had a rather elaborate parser as well, with a number of words that would lead to random cuss warning messages. For example, you can type, "urinate" or "deficate", and you'll get a funny comment. These are the cleanest ones. "dump", "crap" also count. So you type, "take a dump", you'll get the warning messages.
