TSL Hopes and Dreams

Yeah--haha, I think somehow the last time some other issues or questions came into it as well, which may be why it wasn't as clear. But there you go, nice and clean and definitive!

I think that all of us would love to go back and visit Daventry in full 3D but it just hasn't quite worked out for that to be possible.  It'd also be interesting to see exactly how that would come together on our end since Daventry functions as an extremely small self-contained planet.

Another thing I never really understood, in KQ5 it shows the castle in Daventry without the moat (I think). Is it the same castle as the one in KQ1?

Edit: Just checked, there's still a moat in KQ5, but there's also a drawbridge that wasn't there in KQ1 and an arrangement of trees in front of the castle that also definitely wasn't there in KQ1. That's what confused me.

[wilco64256]

This is totally just me speculating from memory, but if the moat's not there it's probably because it dried up in KQ3 and they never filled it again.

[KatieHal]

Nope, it's there. You can see the blue line running around the castle's footprint in a square shape here.

[B'rrr]

doesn't show the picture and the link says page not found 

[KatieHal]

That's odd...I can see it just fine. This is where I found it: http://www.eegra.com/images/files/2008-07/KQV/02.jpg

[wilco64256]

Weird, that link doesn't work for me either.

[KatieHal]

Hm. Well, here's another shot--quality's not as good, but you can still see it.

That one I can see, very good on the moat.

Given that KQ5 happens around 20 years after KQ1, and that the kingdom is now supposed to be thriving instead of at the brink of poverty, the fact that there's new landscaping at Castle Daventry isn't exactly a shocker.

That sounds like the argument defending Alexander's new spiky hair...

[KatieHal]

Though not needed in this case, since the moat was in KQ5 after all
