King's Quest 2016

[Numbers]

Oh, btw Numbers! [spoiler]You were unintentionally right about Mordon.[/spoiler]

[GrahamRocks!]

Sorry, bud.

[daventry]

Has it occured to anyone that Hagatha messed up her spell, remember in the KQ World making a Spell is Life Threatening to not make the slightest mistake.

Graham got favored by Hagatha where she was going to send Graham on a mission to get some Keys or whatever, but then accidentally dropped the Dragon book into the Clock Portal that send Graham to the Dragon Cave.

Why dident Hagatha send Graham out again to find this Key whatever, then her spell would've worked and we all would be frozen in time thus in the end the Frost Explosion wouldn't even happen.

[GrahamRocks!]

The spell didn't screw up. It worked exactly as intended, she just had regrets.

Nearly done remaking my Ch3 Walkthrough

Brave Vee and Compassion Neese

Vee and Neese Wisdom

Brave Neese and Compassion Vee

Dont see the point in giving the Wrench to Neese, because she bangs that thing on the Lute like a hammer and its fixed by some 0 logic sense.

[GrahamRocks!]

Okay, that makes a little more sense in that order. Much better.

Still, this is a magical fantasy world with wizards and dragons and goblins and true love... and yet banging a wrench to fix something is where you draw the line at logic?

Ch3 Update is done

Has anyone shot the Wedzel Wolf in front of Neese, im gonna do that since i play Brave with Neese. I play Brave with Vee aswell, thus at the part with Neese, i will shoot the Wolf aswell.

By the way, sparing the Wedzel Wolf Unlocks a Secret Achievement, so in a way its Human Nature to kill a Wild Animal to protect the one next to you or yourself.

Why do i get the feeling your suppose to propose to Vee through all 3 Routes, because the sequence with Neese and the Wolf with the fact she is turning to ice and the end clue after the credits with the ice castle makes it that she will be Queen Icabella.

Also since the Routes are story wise, i dont think we will see Vee as the Ice Queen no matter what Route i took in previous chapters.

Despite enjoying this episode a lot I was disappointed by how simple it was. It was basically a dating simulator with 2 or 3 puzzles thrown in. I get that the game is trying out a lot of different ideas so I'm patient but I hope the eventual conclusion for the sequel is more puzzles. It was nice to see they already threw out QTEs...mostly.

[GrahamRocks!]

I disagree.

That would mean that means there's a "right" girl and a "wrong" girl, and your chosen virtue doesn't matter. Yes, there will be consequences no matter what you do, but it shouldn't be shoving it into your face, "PICK THIS! PICK THIS!" and it's "wrong" if you don't.

Sure, I picked Compassion at every turn I could: I befriended and spared the Goblins whenever I could. I freed the Dragon. I made sure to help everyone as best I could. I let the wolf go.

But, of course, you're not me. You might not want to focus on how kind Graham is, and instead how clever he can be, for example. There are consequences no matter what you do, but none of those choices I doubt are "wrong" really. Graham is always a heroic sort, no matter what (well, except for this horrible webcomic that starts as a QFG comic then about halfway through it suddenly we're crossing over with KQ: http://wolfkroger74.deviantart.com/art/QFG-Preludes-Vol1-Pg01-492243457) and I believe that no matter what, he's a good King. Daventry goes through troubles every now and again, and Graham probably make mistakes, but it's not like by the end, just because he did or didn't do this, Daventry burns before his eyes and he's regretful of all he's done in his life.

Whether it's Vee or Neese who gets that frozen hand, Graham I doubt will just let them be cold and miserable forever, even if he can't completely make their heart thaw out. Assuming, of course, that they ARE indeed Icebella. Who knows? Hell, wouldn't surprise me if he tries to give Manny a chance at redemption at some point. I doubt he'd take it, but at least let him try.

No matter our choices, I never want to feel like "I'm the worst King ever! (or would that be Queen for me? hehe!) Daventry is actually WORSE off than it was when Edward was on the throne! I never should have come here!" you know?

And yes, I know, I'm probably repeating myself by now. Sorry.

Am I the only one who's favorite part was Whisper?





Whisper can do it!   

[GrahamRocks!]

Was nice to see him again, yeah! I like how he's gotten more courageous too.

[jen]

originally, I was put off by his cockiness, but especially in the race in chapter 1, I loved him.  Especially with "Whisper can do it" and "What?!?"   That one always made me laugh 

[Jack Stryker]

It was nice to see they already threw out QTEs...mostly.

I like those, actually.  It's a game's way of saying, "Wake up!  This ain't a cutscene!  Press A!  You don't have time to smoke a bold!  You still playin'!"  There have been complaints about too many cutscenes in chapter 3, after all.

Hell, wouldn't surprise me if he tries to give Manny a chance at redemption at some point. I doubt he'd take it, but at least let him try.

I believe at the end of chapter 1, if you choose the pie, Graham does at one point offer it to Manny.

[GrahamRocks!]

Well that's true. I meant moreso like a situation where they talk or, Manny is in a precarious situation and ends up being saved by Graham and when he asks him, "Why are you being so nice to me? I don't get it!" or something like that, Graham has the chance to try to convince him to change his ways before it's too late. If he does, then yay, new friend! If he doesn't, then it's possible he might die due to his own hubris or like, "Hmph! I don't need anyone! I can get by just fine on my own!" and then something happens that kills him that wouldn't have if he had friends.

Or maybe something that calls back to that scene in chapter one, and that's a choice you can make. Do you attempt to talk down Manny and spare him? Do you trick him one last time? Do you just straight up fight him?

I didn't mind the QTEs either. But I also didn't mind the cutscenes.

Am I the only one who's favorite part was Whisper?

Maybe, but I was amused to see him again.

And about Whisper...

[spoiler]I was surprised who Whisper started dating honestly.  Heh.    Totally didn't think Amaya would go for him.[/spoiler]

This chapter was overall adorable though.  The first time I played, I didn't overly try to win one princess over the other.  I just tried to do the most right in each situation.  And I ended up with Vee,

The second time, I made sure I ended up with Neese.  So it was nice to see both endings.  I also went back to visit each of the townspeople too just to see what each gave you.

As for Manny, honestly, I think no matter what Graham did, he'd end up that way.  He wanted to be king no matter what.

[spoiler]WHOAWHOAWHOAWHOA!!! Amaya and Whisper are dating?! I'm guessing that's mentioned in the Bravery route? Huh![/spoiler]

[spoiler]If you visit Amaya when you choose to go to town, you find out about them dating.  It's actually funny how Amaya reacts.  And then when Whisper comes to 'rescue' you you admit to him you know about it.[/spoiler]

[GrahamRocks!]

That's what I figured, yeah.

[daventry]

I love Whisper and it made sense for him through the Bravery Part to try and Rescue Graham when Graham told Amaya where he is held captive, but it doesent make sense when you go to the Bakery (Compassion) or to the now String Shop where Acorn is now (Wisdom) for Whisper to arrive, who send him this time.

By the way, did you know the Child of Wente and Bramble is going to be some Murderer and end up killing he's own Parents, just listen to what they are saying about the Kid. I mean what child of yours goes through that faze.

[Jack Stryker]

What do they say?  I went to see Acorn.
