Tiggum posted:It has always really bothered me that he says "old lamps for new" when he so very obviously should be saying "new lamps for old". The way he says it implies that if you give him a new lamp he'll give you an old one in exchange when, in fact, the opposite is true. And I meant character portrait, ie. the headshot at the start of those lines.

Yeah, it depends on if you read his line as an offer or as an imperative.

Water's so unsafe in Sierra games you'd figure their protagonists were water-soluble.

I'm pretty sure it's suppsed to be pronounced as Manannán mac Lir, the ancient Irish sea deity.

I never knew the game had a "long" and "short" ending. I assume you'll elaborate on the two potential paths when we get to where they diverge.

Yeah, I do a good bit of discussing the different paths at and even past the divergence point. Though I want to put it out here now ahead of time: I'm not showing off the short ending path. The puzzles aren't very fun and involve hiding from guards while they patrol around. There's also very little that's unique to it instead of being shared with the long path.

The last time I played this, I hit the point where I really couldn't find anything to do other than the aforementioned guard-dodging. I imagine I probably missed something that locked me into that route, and upon thinking about it further, I don't think I ever showed this man the insignia ring, so that might've been it! Very curious to see how this goes, though I might start playing along before you really get into the meat of the long ending, just so I can try out the puzzles myself.

I've played this game backwards and forwards and have never actually done the short path. Its so easy to lock yourself into the long one by accident, and honestly its the easier path since there's no timed puzzles.

Out of curiosity, if you don't have the necessary tools for the senses, could you use the magic map to beat a hasty retreat, or are you just stuck?

 the technically correct sentence would be "To where are you going?"  The Isle of Wonder is the place where Roberta Williams' baleful influence did the most damage.

Seriously, after going through the gauntlet that was KQ5, this game is a teddy bear by comparison. It still has a couple of pretty big gently caress you moments though, I think, but nothing like the bullshit "oh you threw the pie instead of the shoe 10 hours ago? You hosed up, restart".

DoubleNegative posted:In the strictest linguistic sense, "where are you going" is an incomplete sentence. In any other context, it is a perfectly cromulent sentence asking a fully complete thought. Also the missing word "to" just sounds weird. Try asking it out loud. "Where are you going to?" It sounds like you're a fifteen year old roleplayer trying to sound smarter than you really are.

What's really nice is that all the items except the last ones are either not used up or infinitely gettable edit: the blind playthrough I'm watching now the LPer was too young to remember invisible ink being a thing and still maintains its the stupidest puzzle in the game.
