For me it was the way it saved.  I found the auto-saving more annoying than helpful. :P

The way the multiple endings were used. KQ2 did a better job with it's "bad" ending, than KQ7. :P

I answered other.  The only thing that really annoyed me was the fact that I could not get Valanice to speed up.  She walked the same speed no matter what you did and that wasn't very fast.

I voted for the saving method; while some auto-saving at keypoints is nice, I still want to be able to save my own game, too.

I was also not a huge fan of the voicework in general. From valleygirl Rosella to slow-talkin' slow-movin' I-talk-like-some-proper-Southern-colonial Valanice, none of them were really all that great. Especially after KQ6, which had great voices--but I suspect they might've been not so great in KQ7 because it was about 10 people doing all the voicework!

KQ2 had a bad ending I wasn't aware of? :o

For me it's a toss-up between the saving system and the graphics... the saving system was annoying, but it was more of a technical issue. The graphics bothered me on a more fundamental level... I would have preferred a more realistic-looking game :-\
I also expected it to be "realistic", after getting used to, and liking very much, the "realistic" style of KQ5 & 6. KQ7 was like a step back in that sense - the backgrounds were good, and it felt like the characters weren't detailed enough in comparison :-\

If you're saying that you don't consider it bad, keep in mind the quote marks I had with it.

If you didn't notice it, I guess I should explain what I'm talking about. KQ2 had the option for you to finish the game(not death), without marrying Valanice.

It made sense at the time, but now, it seems strange. The other ending, would make an interesting KQ fan-game though. :D

The graphics were too cartoon'ish...

I never liked the game because I found it super buggy and slow (even on what was a new computer!) The “Disney” graphics might have been cool if they didn’t skip and stutter so much…

I really did like a lot of KQ7... I loved the animation, the chapter by chapter setup, the music, etc...

But the plot just didnt stand out. Compare it to KQ2, or KQ5, and yes, the plot was better.... but KQ3/4/6... it just failed to grasp my miniscule attention.

It wasnt a 'bad' plot... it just wasnt a 'great' one either. Idve probably given this game 2 1/2 stars.  8)

I don't debate, I ramble with STYLE!

I Chose the saved game issue...I think the overall of the game wasn't good as the others, like someone already said it was SLOW like hell in every computer even new -  but anyway KQ8 was even worst...
