The Cedric Fan Club! XD XD

[Deloria]

As they're both Sierra, I don't think it matters

[Rosierox]

Cedric wasn't so bad. sure he was a coward and most of the time useless and he made lousy jokes, but i liked him. like baggins says, you weren't alone. i was but a young fing back then, and what with all the dangers and death lurking just on the next screen, he was a comfort.

[Storm]

Yes I really like him, one of the reasons I liked KQ5 so much when I was younger was cause you essentially had a sidekick to talk to, instead of just adventuring alone in the world.

But he was a totally useless sidekick! Gameplay-wise, if you bother to implement a sidekick, you should make it useful for something beside slowing the game down with its entrance animation on every screen and making pointless comments. Otherwise, you're just going to frustrate the players because it seems like a great feature, but they can't have any meaningful interaction with it

[Baggins]

It was just a sense of feeling that I wasn't alone, where in  previous games the characters never had anybody with them. It was just them against the world.

Sure he was useless but he was there, it was somewhat comforting. Even if I was getting him out of more trouble than he was helping me.

Speaking of useless junk given to you by Crispin, he gives you his wand, and you can't do anything with it really, until the very end, :-p. At least in the disk version of the game the wand was used periodically throughout the entire game, and was tied to the copy protection. At various points the game something was broken,  or you weren't strong enough to move something, and you had to cast spells to get by certain obstacles in the game.

[Oldbushie]

Doesn't Cedric give you hints occasionally?

And, he does get to be a kind of "damsel in distress" at one point.

[Deloria]

No. At least, not that I know of, he just says: "Crispin's house is to the east of here." Stuff like that

[Dangling Participle]

We all know there are people that wish they could have left him back at the island, and still be able to beat the game.

That reminds me of an hilarious thing I used do at the harpies island...
After picking up Cedric you can walk off the edge of the cliff (to the lower right of the screen). Graham throws Cedric into the air and then both of them fall over the cliff.
It's even better if you watch it at the lowest speed!!  

Now what does exactly happen if you don't pick up Cedric and try to finish the game? I've never tried to do that...

Hey there is always Freddy Pharkas for those that want to see Cedric get his due, .

There's also Space Quest IV, where you get 50 points at the Ms. Astro Chicken game if you hit Cedric.

You're a man after my own heart, Dangling Participle

It's not possible to finish the game as Mordack kills Graham if Cedric doesn't come between them
*goes to try out Harpie thing *

[rccola18]

hey- i'll put my 2 cents in to this topic.  Cedric is funny and gives Graham a sidekick.  He doesnt give Graham clues but i wouldn't mind him chillin' with me as I save the world from peril. 

[Baggins]

He's more of a comedy sidekick than heroic sidekick, too LOL.

[Amayirot Akago]

The only thing I found annoying about him was this:

"Graham! There's a hole in the boat!"
[boat sinks, Graham drowns as Cedric flies off]

Little b******. Didn't even try to save me there, much less he could've told me sooner about that hole.

[Oldbushie]

Maybe he flew away to get help?

Someone needs to make a Cedric Flash Song based on the Badger Song.

Oh my gosh, there are these kids in my old school that wouldn't stop showing that in Homeroom last year! Just show Cedric over and over again doing his famous tagline "Oooh Graham..."... (Or should it be infamous? I can't quite tell!)

That would be the funniest thing!
