Yeah, this game really does sell itself, but you're doin' a good job on it, so relax! I think part of what sells it is Grace's relationship with Gabriel. That, and the drat good VA from most of the parties involved... Michael Dorn

EphemeralToast posted:Hooray! Time for doggie dance lessons! Sorta, but the beautiful thing about the writing in this game is that Southern Tim Curry here has never properly tangled with anything a Belmont style family would deal with, and so he deals with it as Southern Tim Curry would anything else that requires effort and money. I will say this: As much as it sometimes gets bullshit, Gabriel Knight is possibly the best written Sierra adventure game, and one of the best written adventure games of the time period.

Hrm, voodoo cult, creepy guy looking in, the case has been closed... Why do I get the distinct feeling poor Gabe is gonna be in for some Fun in the Dwarf-Fortress sense pretty soon?

And this is why I love the old sprite adventure games, especially some of the later stuff... Cutscenes had to be relatively brief and punchy, and Gabriel Knight's artist/team did a lot of good work in this game. The useful word for this game, art direction wise? Chiaroscuro. Basically, I'm saying the game's artist(s) really knew their stuff.

Good god. Dean Erickson was... both Eric and... the Waiter in Frasier. Admittedly, for four episodes, but hey, my opinion of the man went up. Slightly.

Keep in mind, with many of these CD based adventures, they usually earmarked an entire disc for extras of various kinds, or that one reaaally FMV heavy bit... And sometimes, five of the CDs were full up, and the sixth... Ending credits and some little post game bollocks, 34MB used. Also, they often made one CD the install one. Never got the original GK2, but 3/4 makes perfect sense to me with 6 discs.

Okay, so things to hopefully move the page over: - Jane Jensen is remaking Gabriel Knight 1 for Activision. With an all new voice cast from the same team that did VA for Moebius. - Gabriel Knight 3, god-drat, right? - Bad CGI in FMV is actually moderately good for the time. It's just aged extremely poorly. Oh, and after GK1, Jane Jensen wants to continue the Gabriel Knight series. We'll see how it shakes down. Also, I really need to make a Gray Matter LP at some point. EDIT: Paging Xander77 to Operations, next page is go!
