Oh, I really liked that one too!
I also liked [spoiler]when Graham looked in the mirror and pictured Rosella in her wedding dress earlier that day. ...not sure that needs spoiler tags, but best to be safe, I guess, lol.[/spoiler]
I think the intro was overall my favorite part. But I've only played through it once. I'm sure I'll have more to add once I play through it again; I remember liking certain bits the narrator said, but can't think of specifics aside from when you look at the portrait of Alexander and Cassima (what can I say - Alexander was always my favorite :P).

Crazy guy is called Cuatokomacen and was part of the character contest several years ago, I was so surprised and happy to see how he had been transformed :D
My favourite parts were;
[spoiler]
*The TSL Asylum reference when you click on Sing-Sing
*When you touch yourself or another character by accident
*The general wittyness of the dialogue[/spoiler]
I got a kick out of the reference to[spoiler] the alternate routes you could take in VI when you clicked on the guard shack outside the castle.[/spoiler]
I remember being a kid and stumbling on that path on accident. I believe I dead-ended myself in the game several times exploring those alternate routes.
I absolutely love[spoiler]the very ending of the opening cutscene, where the camera slowly rises to Graham, standing resolute and somber as chaos unfolds, knowing the quest that stands ahead of him.[/spoiler]

That First one, I laughed so hard when I found it. I love when things break the fourth wall.
I thought that the crazy guy looked like he was wearing Conner's armor from Mask.
What are your favorite moments from Episode 1?
I have quite a few...most of them because I was in shock going "what??" But let's hear what ya'll think!
Didn't we had this thread already? *ponders*
I don't recall that we did....
Rob, if you find the link, let me know and I'll merge the two topics :)
but I do! *whistles* (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?topic=8734.0) at page 4 already though, so I guess this sticky is better for not letting it drift off and disappear in the crowd.
When Graham gives Hassan a single coin for the ferry and then he's like, "Oh yeah and I also have these too." *Whips out a huge bag full of gold from the hyperspace arsenal.*
The entire episode had its charm here and there. The breaking of the fourth-wall, Azure's blatant distaste for humans, Oberon and Arch Druid's voice :P, etc. But the one thing that made the entire episode worth while was the ending cutscene. Can't wait for episode 2. ;D
My favorite part was *thinks a long time* everything! I totally cannot make up my mind. I just loved everything, it was pure magic.
I liked that part where you had to think about how to make the ferry guy let you use his boat, and then you gave him those items. That was almost like an adventure game type of puzzle. It was cool.

That's nothing compared to what's coming.
I know it might seem a bit odd... But when I'd just stepped out of the Palace. At that point everything started kicking in - where I was and what was going on (Seeing Alexander's old changing spot triggered my memory back into action) as I haven't played KQ in a long time,.
Personally, I liked the attitudes of the characters. Lord Azure is still as much of a uppity jerk as he (and his daughter) was in KQ VI. Even Hassan had a bit of a attitude to him. I mean, who says, "I know you're a king, and your son is my king...the same king who had his genie rebuild my ferry and save my business and is now in trouble but I'm really going to need a lot of money up front. And you know what? If this goes on too long, I'm gonna need another giant bag of money too. So there." I found it funny at least.
I also liked the psychotic end of the world guy. Although I was almost immediately saddened that Graham didn't want to talk to him. I was really hoping to hear his delusions.
Outside of that, nothing really beats seeing Graham put on his adventuring outfit and hat again (even though I saw that in the demo a while back.)

I think that was sarcasm...
Maybe mine was too, guess you'll find out.
OR WILL YOU??
OK I really should wander off to bed now. I smell cookies.
When I first played the TSL demo (basically Episode 1) a few years ago, seeing the village and crossroads so desolate and depressing was really powerful. I remember that the note on the pawn shoppe - "Closed due to Tragedy" - really hit me hard. It was awesome.

Great introductory episode! I have to say for some reason I liked:
[spoiler]Having Graham jump off of the end of the pier. I just looked at the water and was like...oh...wow...I have to try this. I was trying to kill him, which sounds sadistic but - it brought back memories of the good old days when he just jumped right in.[Spoiler]
I think we all deliberately try to kill the main characters in these games in a variety of ways. I don't really think it says anything beyond us being passionate about every aspect of adventure games.
For sure, I definitely wouldn't want to be an adventure game character. Everyone is trying to kill you all the time including the player who is your so-called "friend" and wants to progress in the game. There is not a darn thing they can do about it either ;D
[spoiler]I liked the part after the TSL asylum reference, when the wonderful narrator did some self-promotion: I almost began to roll on the floor. ;D Jokes aside I enjoyed every moment, anyway for me the best was probably when Graham looked at the sky just before the dream.[/spoiler]
You did an outstanding job guys, as you already said maybe it's too short and guided, but very well done. I'm looking forward to the second episode, keep up the good work!
I'm going ot here, but I was wondering... the graphics is very low quality in close-ups... the torque engine you're using isn't capable of manage more polys and/or bigger texture maps? :gossip:
I liked the intro. [spoiler]Seeing Shadrack in action and the guard dog trying to stop him was awesome.[/spoiler]
Definitely. When Saladin left into action I was totally cheering for him - he's so loyal and awesome.
The ending video was my favorite part, makes me wonder what's gonna happen next.
Gee...
1) The fact that the first thing you do as Graham is take off the formal attire, get back in the adventuring outfit, complete with the lucky hat. You know it's on when you see the hat.
2) A very subtle one, but the moment Rosella reaches the altar, she looks back - not at her parents, but at Alex, who just gives a smile and nod. OK, it's a personal thing. My half-sister and I were the ones walking my twin down the aisle on her wedding day (LONG story).
3) Not so much a moment, but I will certainly have to congratulate your voice actor for Graham. Filling Josh Mandel's boots isn't easy, but he delivered.
I absolutely love the story so far. The intro and the ending scene were awsome. I also love the recreation of what I have seen of the green isles. And finally the Music is absolutely brilliant. I especially love listening to the lovely piece of music that is played after Graham changes into his adventures outfit.
One of my favorite pieces of music occurs in the courtyard with Oberon and Titania. It's about 3 minutes long, but it's very quiet solo piano, so you have to listen carefully to hear it. It suits the mood of the scene so well.

I have to agree. I liked a lot of the background music, as well as the song in the intro. Can't wait for the soundtrack to be released.
My favorite moment of the kings quest episode was............ ABSOLUTLY EVERYTHING!!! lol, i loved how he jumped into the water! i wasnt expecting that, all of the sound effects and narrations made the realism exact its one of the best kings quests i have played so far it seems like ive been waiting a lifetime to play this game and it was well worth it :), i loved all of the past refrences to the other games it really took me back into the hours i spent playing through the old kings quest series over and over.
I hope the continuing episodes will follow the majestry of this one however hopefully they will last longer, tho I probably rushed through this one expecting alot more to be in it, but it was very well put together
My favorite moment... when Activision gave us a fan license! :D

I gotta admit. That was a pretty epic moment. When I saw that part, Lord of the Rings music started playing in the background. No lies! ;D
I like the crazy glitch you can pull off when you get to the Isle of the Sacred Mountain. It cracks me up to see King Graham RISING FROM THE SEA.
Can you elaborate on this glitch? I've never heard of it.
I'm not sure if it only works on my system, or if it's a universal one, but I accessed it with these steps:
- Play the game through until you've paid the ferryman and are on the boat. When you arrive at the Isle of the Sacred Mountain, DO NOT GET OUT OF THE BOAT. Instead, save and quit the game.
- Reload the game. Graham will be stuck in the boat. Click anywhere on the land.
- The camera will judder over to the right and you will see Graham WALKING OUT OF THE SEA.
I liked when Graham... [spoiler]...tried to touch the tree near the ferry and the narrator said: "Leave the tree alone! It could belong to a samurai, or a ninja! And he'll cut you in pices like WATATATATAWAHAHA!!!!" ;D [/spoiler]

Just rereading old posts...I must say, Weldon, the wording
hyperspace arsenal even with how crappy as my throat is...made me giggle and squeal :D
My favorite Part was:
[spoiler]The conversation Graham had with the ferryman. To tell you the truth, I thought Graham came off as a dick at times -- rubbing into the poor low-on-business ferryman that his king's well-being should be prioritized over his own.[/spoiler]

LOL! :rofl: Well, at least he was giving the ferryman business at all.
