How old was Alexander in KQ6

[atec123]

I see the banner in town in TSL says happy 21st birthday... so how old would Alexander have been in KQ6?  It seems like this would have been years later... so he would have been really young even when he and cassima got married... just a thought.

[Haids1987]

Wasn't he supposed to have been 19 in KQ 6?  I remember the old TSL timeline said something about him being 17 in KQIII, 18 in KQV, and 19 in KQVI.  Then apparently two years passed between 6 and TSL.

19 sounds about right, yeah.

[atec123]

Ahh... I guess not as much time passed between 6 and TSL as I thought. 

There was some old thread about how old graham was too but I can't find it....

[Haids1987]

I remember that!  Was that the same thread as Graham being the MacGyver of adventure games?

I don't remember.....

it makes me want to find it though.  time to search again.

[Baggins]

Ya, in TSL timeline he was 19ish.

Depending on varient dates given in the official KQ games, manuals,etc, he was between 18 and almost 20.

Yeah, it's always tricky to piece together ages, particularly when there's clearly missing time.  We don't know how much time was spent between King's Quest 4 and 5, so it's all speculation.  For all we know, Graham went out to pick those flowers right after being healed by the magic fruit, or it could have been years.  So that complicates the age for the kids.  And as for Graham, it's hard to tell, because the time frame between King's Quest 1 and 2 is also sketchy.  Could have been fairly soon, or taken a while.  Likewise for 2 and 3.  How long were Graham and Valanice married before they had kids?  Unless you want to go by speculation, or piecing together what official information there is (that doesn't conflict), it's just your best guess.

How long were Graham and Valanice married before they had kids?

I'm gonna say about nine months.

The KQV manual says it was a year between KQ4 and KQ5. KQ4 takes place right around Alex and Rosella's 18th birthday, so roughly a year later would play them at near their 19th birthday.

KQVI takes place 6 months (when Alex washes up on the Isle of the Crown) after KQV. So he's nearly 20.

If KQVI takes place 6 months after Alexander's 19th birthday, he'd still be 19. He'd be "closer" to his 20th birthday, but he'd still roughly have 6 more months to go before he was 20.

Should have seen that one coming!  I would certainly hope it was that long!  Otherwise that would mean that Graham wasn't the first to rescue her from the tower!  Although that would bring up other questions, such as why did she go back?

Has to be a little longer than that; the parser doesn't recognize certain words.

Poor Graham and Valanice!  I can just see the parser responses now...

"How can you do that?"
"That does not compute."
"You cannot do that now."
"I do not understand the word *****."
"How do you **** a ****?"

You just have to find the right command.  Personally, I think it would be "Make babies."
"Done.  You now have twins.  What do you want to do now?"
