In short, all jokes and such aside, if you're asking a question, it does help to use the question mark--that's what it's there for. :)

that you see showing a Beautiful Backround with a Sudden Terror Scream of a Zombie thing giving you a Heart Attack ???

Almost thought Graham was the New Narrator, dang that was Awsome, why did it have to be the Girl again. ???

Love the Graphics and the Music and i Love the Wide Screen 1680x1050 Setting, but it seems i cant take a Screen in Full View. ???

Why is it everytime i try to Save over the Same File, it makes Duplicates, so Annoying. ???

Will that Fallen Tree be Moved and why cant we just let Graham Climb Over or walk the Grassy Path and whats with the Barking Dog.  ???

Why are Areas being Cut Off: The Side of the Castle - The House of Beauty - The Swamp and the area where the Bookworm was on the Isle Of Wonder - The Minotaur Lair.  ???

Also not sure what the zombie scream thing is that you're referring to, when does that happen?  If you're talking about the beginning, that's a Phoenix call.

The narrator will always be Amy first and foremost because she has already recorded all of her narration lines and because we all really like her.

Most people can't take screenshots while in fullscreen mode, not too sure why but we're not extremely concerned about fixing this either as taking a screenshot in windowed mode still works just fine.

There are two files for every save because one of them is the actual save file data while the other is a screenshot of where the game was saved.

Graham doesn't need to go to the beach or he probably could climb over the log.  There's just nothing he needs from over there.

Don't know what barking dog you're talking about, it's probably just background sound.

We have new areas in this game and also some other areas from previous games are unnecessary so we didn't include them.  Bookworm moved into the Four Winds newspaper office.  The minotaur lair served no purpose after getting through it in KQ6 so no need for it here, and the only original point to the side of the castle was so you could paint that door - Graham can come and go freely so there's no point in adding that entire scene.

But then wouldn't make a lot more sense to simply have the narrator say something like "There's nothing on the beach that would help Graham in his quest," and leave it at that, rather than have Graham, a seasoned adventurer and logical thinker, repeatedly try to lift the fallen tree, which is probably the densest and most illogical possible solution to the problem?  Especially when he could clearly climb over it or just walk around it??   ;D

Graham prefers to leave the path more passable for others as well.  He could also just walk around the tree but this was much more fun to animate.

Hehe, I would've gone with a comment on Graham having arthritis in his knees ;)

Do i still need to have the Windows 7 Patch.  Huh

KatieHal

As we've answered elsewhere, once you've installed the patch once, you're all set. The game ran just fine after all.
