Kind of like an Anime Rosella with brown hair. I guess that makes her the first brown-haired major protagonist (discounting Connor).

Didn't Valanice used to have brown hair, when she was young?

GrahamRocks!

We only saw Val with brown hair in KQ7. I just interpreted it as her hair lightening with age. She had auburn when she was young.

Speaking of brown hair, I never could believe it when I saw on the Omnipedia that mentions Graham has apparently very dark brown hair that looks almost black, because in every game we've seen up to this point, canon or fan made, it's been purely black or gray. Alexander I can see, but not Graham.

Auburn. Redhead. Pretty much the same.

Jack Stryker

Hmm... must've been AGD's version I was thinking of.


Numbers

It seems like her hair changes depending on the artist. People need to just pick a color and stick with it.

Wow, I'd completely forgotten about AGDI's look for her...

"Dark brown, almost black really" says the Companion. Which is common, where hair can be so dark brown it is very indistinguishable from black.

How do we know that photo of Gwendolyn is legit?


GrahamRocks!

The problem with that is that every game that has young Graham in it has given him always black hair. Not a hint of brown at all. As much as I like the Companion, that's one strike against it for me.

Even if it isn't, it's still a cute character design for anybody.

Graham's original sprite doesn't exactly have black hair:


Compare his hair shade to the black line at the far right.

On the new King's Quest game, I'd like to share my perspectives on it. I wrote up a Facebook post about it that you can find here:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/sierraplanet/permalink/945993238767491/

This is my honest perspective of the game, in at least relating to the argument that some people (especially over at the Sierra Gamers Facebook group) have said that the new King's Quest game does not have the "feel" of what a King's Quest game should be. I'd love to hear your thoughts and perspectives on it!

Talk to you later!

Oh yeah? Your opinion is dumb.

*flamewar erupts*

Seriously, though, that was pretty eloquent. Also, that GameSpot guy who said that he might be interested in trying out the old King's Quest games after playing this new one...probably shouldn't start with the AGI games. They're completely unplayable by today's standards. He'd best watch walkthroughs of them on YouTube and then play the AGDI remakes with the understanding that the Father plotline was made up for the remakes and ultimately goes nowhere.

Thanks for your response, Numbers! I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to read it! :)

Talk to you later!

Cheers, Numbers!

Or at least try the EGA remake of 1.

Numbers

The SCI remake of 1 is far and away superior to the original. I really don't get why people defend the AGI version so much. It looks and plays awful. The SCI version was definitely a step in the right direction and it's a shame so many idiot fans got butthurt over it and prevented any more remakes from coming out.

I know, right?!

Don't get me wrong, the AGI version paved the way for such great games, but it's the SCI version that's more beloved to me. The music, the environment, the colors, the atmosphere...

Yeah, those lousy punks!  I don't understand why anyone would be opposed to the idea.  I mean... you tell Graham to "push witch into oven" in the AGI version and all you get is a message saying that he did it, before the witch disappears from the game.  You tell him to "push witch into pot" in the SCI version and you actually see him pushing her into it.  Who in their right mind would prefer the former over the latter?  Granted, KQ2 did get animations, but it's stupid that anyone would oppose the idea of playing that story with better graphics and sounds.
