Dark daventry keeps mentioning it. Is it where you go to the left in the town on isle of the crown and you get to all the tents and whatnot? Or am I missing something else? ?_?

Also, is the death sequence where you dive off the dock or is it something else?

I think that is what he is referring to.

You can die there and elsewhere, gives you same death sequence but different response from the narrator.

There are a couple of new locations... but I don't believe any of them become accessible until at least Episode 2.

EDIT:  Actually there is an area that is completely new and accessible in Episode 1... and I'm willing to bet that old school KQ fans that have recently played KQ6 will probably not even notice it's there (at least that's what happened with me).  **lol**

I didn't notice it at first either, then I went back through and tried exploring and going places you shouldn't be able to go and was quite pleasantly surprised.

I did have to play another time to find it, but I did!

I'll admit that it wasn't until my second play through that I was able to find it. But I was very happy that I did. It was refreshing to see a whole new location for the green isles.

I haven't been able to find it.

Try exploring around the Town Square a bit (particularly the edges), a lot of people don't realized it's there because it wasn't somewhere you could go in KQ6.[/spoiler]

So I just finished Episode 1 and considering the whole section of the castle and the courtyard that weren't available in KQVI, I thought to click around just in case, and ran into the new area right away!  I felt very proud of myself.

Ok just went back for a second play through but still am unsure where this is (or I think I actually may have found it but didn't realise it was a hidden!), can someone give me a direct spoiler. THanks

Speaking of locations, what happened to the house north of Town Square that Beauty used to live in?

B'rrr

it is not used in the TSL storyline. the house is still there as you can see at the screen with the shops, but you will just walk past it on the way to the ferry (just like in other KQ's you are not always be able to go to buildings you see in the distance)

I was disappointed by that. Even if Beauty's House isn't in the plot, I would have still liked to see it.

If it were there people would be complaining that we couldn't take the roses (if they even still grow now that Beauty's gone).

Perhaps a good solution would be the ability to pick a rose, even if it has no use.

An inventory item that's never actually used?  Well, that could be both interesting and extremely frustrating.  We could just keep pretending like it does have some secret use (secret secret armor in KQ8 anyone?) and just let people keep trying to use it all over the place.  Yikes :P
