The great deaths of KQ

They seem a lot more entertaining than grim to me.

I know!

OH NO! You've stepped into an electric force field and are fried to a crackly crunch! YOU'RE TOAST, DUDE!

Deloria · May 26, 2006, 01:04:18 AM

The SQ4 ones are also pretty good.

Jafar · May 26, 2006, 01:10:03 AM

Not many Sierra games had lousy death scenes, actually.

Nothing really stood out in the KQ1 original, but thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

Betrayal at Krondor and The Black Cauldron both only had one

Jafar · May 26, 2006, 01:14:07 AM

Never played those. What were the deaths?

Deloria · May 26, 2006, 01:17:51 AM

In The Black Cauldron you could only drown or fall down: "As you slowly lose consciousness, your last thoughts are of your beautiful home, Caer Dalben" or something like that.

In Betrayal At Krondor there was a really long one. Something like: As you slump to the ground you hear someone come up next to you, maybe a friend, maybe an enemy." Then the leader in the team says "Lims Kragma curse you."

Maybe they used up their creativity in the games that were part of a series.

Deloria · May 26, 2006, 01:22:20 AM

As you said before: SQ1

Jafar · May 26, 2006, 01:24:55 AM

KQ1 actually. But that was the first Quest game, you've gotta cut them some slack, ya know.

Deloria · May 26, 2006, 01:44:08 AM

Well, the SQ1 ones weren't that great, either.

(original)

Jafar · May 26, 2006, 01:45:54 AM

Well, some weren't too interesting, but I loved the Don't Touch button, Orat, and buying the wrong ship ones.

Those were pretty good, but what about the ones where you drowned. $:-\$ *wonders if she's the only one that got lost in that sewer/cave

Wasn't the drowning death in SQ2?

Deloria · May 26, 2006, 01:51:45 AM

I thought there was that pink water in which you could drown in SQ1.

Jafar · May 26, 2006, 02:03:04 AM

Acid, actually. You burn up before you get a chance to drown.

Deloria · May 26, 2006, 02:18:32 AM

meh. Fine.

Rosella · May 26, 2006, 05:14:17 AM

I really need to play these and try to die.

That's going on my list of things to do this summer.
