King's Quest 2016

Yep. Thankfully no copyright protection!

Kronk is more of a cook than a tailor though.

He is, but both Kronk and Acorn are big strong guys that have creative hobbies though.   Acorn expresses himself through knitting and Kronk through cooking.

Sure this is based on KQ but doesent the bricks coming out remind anyone of KQ6 the Cliff of Logic.

A little, yeah.  I kinda wished the tower had more of nod to them with some puzzle to solve on the way up.

How soon would you expect Ch4, well August soon.

August, huh? That'll be easy to remember since my mom's birthday is in August.

[Rock Knight]

I've actually kind of come to appreciate this series.
Does anyone have a walkthrough for the compassion path?

[Jack Stryker]

August is also when the next WoW expansion comes out.  Good month for a gamer like me. 

Kronk is more of a cook than a tailor though.

*shrug*  Yeah, okay.  Fair enough analogy then.

Sure this is based on KQ but doesent the bricks coming out remind anyone of KQ6 the Cliff of Logic.

A little, yeah.  I kinda wished the tower had more of nod to them with some puzzle to solve on the way up.

I was thinking about that when I first saw it myself.  I even muttered the narration, "That's quite a way to welcome a guest."

[Rock Knight]

Does anyone have a walkthrough of the compassion path?

[Jack Stryker]

Whoops... sorry, I was going to answer that in my previous post, but forgot.  Daventry has this walkthrough here.  It does pretty much cover most answers to all three paths.

You know, I was a bit surprised Princess Vee wasn't Princess Val.  The game sure likes wordplay and puns.  Then you have Val 'n' Neese which would be somewhat close sounding to Valanice.

[GrahamRocks!]

I kinda wish it was too, because then we wouldn't get ridiculous "third princess" theories like Amaya being named Ally and her being the third princess. Nevermind that if her name is supposed to be Ally, they would have named her f***ing Ally in the first place, and nevermind that she's clearly NOT trapped in the Tower, and nevermind that when you look at her portrait as an awkward yet cute youngster, she's clearly dressed as a commoner girl and if she was a princess, she wouldn't be in Daventry as their blacksmith.

Also... wouldn't it be hilarious if Mr. Fancycakes was secretly behind everything? Like a goat was the mastermind pulling the strings, but because he's so awesome and adorable, nobody takes notice until it's too late?

[kyranthia]

Unless she's some sort of lost princess, but I doubt that. 

Ha!  I think it would be funny if Mr. Fancycakes was more than just a goat.  Of course then there could be some silly pun like, "That's right.  I'm a the GOAT - as in Greatest of All Time!"

[Bludshot]

I realize Zelda Williams is in her mid-20s but I get the impression Amaya is more middle aged.

[GrahamRocks!]

Yeah, exactly. Plus, judging from the brief snippet of the scene I've actually seen of the route that has Graham visit Amaya, she didn't know about the Tower until AFTER Graham told her about it.

You know... despite me really being against the whole "We should've been able to change Hagatha back" thing because it's quite clear that it's impossible and both she and Graham know this... on the plus side, this shows how good the writing was for Hagatha. We can't change her fate, but there's at least one person out there who wishes things could be different, that she could be saved. They actually give a damn about her, which is a very good thing in a story driven game like this.

Kinda reminds me both of Achaka, in that the writing is so strong it gets a reaction like that even almost a year later, and Asriel from Undertale, where that character is beloved by fans and several wish to change his final fate at any cost.

And actually, I've come to the realization why fics where Achaka lives aren't as common as ones where Asriel is saved (there's only two fanfics out there that deal with that, though I'm planning a couple myself, both are slash fics and one is really good and very light and subtle about said pairing and the other is just weird and has him inexplicably alive just for the sake of him and Graham doing the hanky panky. Neither of mine are slash though) It's because Asriel, we don't officially meet until the climax and the true pacifist ending, and before that he was a villain and we don't know his story at all until the end. Achaka though? We meet him at the very beginning of the game, when he's nothing but a rusted and rotted corpse that we take his bow from, and no matter what we do, we can't change his fate in the end, because otherwise things would be totally different timeline wise, the dragon confrontation would be different, Graham would have grown as a person differently and so on...

It's all about timing.

And I'm sure that if none of you've played Undertale, that just flew over your heads. Sorry about that.

[Numbers]

It's okay, all of this is flying over my head since I've never seen any actual footage from episode three outside of the trailer.

[GrahamRocks!]

One thing I admit I would have liked to see in chapter one, which they are doing in subsequent chapters, is I kinda wish the first chapter took place over more than just one day. Like, day 1 is the Chivalry Test, getting to meet everyone and so on, day 2 is the quest for the Eye, and either the three duels would take up their own days individually or they'd all take place in a single long day that you could see time passing as you went along with one being in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening as sunset approaches.

The only question would be... where would everyone sleep? There's no inn we can see, and the barracks are probably off limits to people who aren't Knights, which they are not as of yet.

[Numbers]

That's all right, everyone knows the inns in the KQ franchise are always safe to sleep in



...oh.

[GrahamRocks!]

Yeah... *nods knowingly*

[Jack Stryker]

Can't really say every inn in the Quest for Glory universe was a dream come true either.



Anyway, I imagine they'd have some kind of encampment, probably patrolled by Kyle and Larry.  But I wonder if they'd be fed too, or if they'd have to go out and hunt their own meals.

[GrahamRocks!]

Yeah, I realized that after I said it. I know Graham at least knows how to make a campsite, given he mentioned it to Triumph in the beginning. I can kinda see them hunting since that would be good skills to learn and show off since I doubt every mission they'd be going on would be in populated areas (Achaka being the best at it, though Manny probably would come close too), but at the same time they probably wouldn't be all that far from the town either. When you're out in the wilderness, it's easier to get lost or separated or get caught in traps and so on.

Sierra put out a teaser image for Chapter 4.  (Well concept art, but still...)
