Oh this is great, one of my favorite Sierra games! My little sister is doing a blind LP of this right now and as a result I've found a few weird bugs/tricks that I'll mention as we get closer to them.

PurpleXVI posted: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. 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.

Blastinus posted: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? 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. She will change her mind shortly I'm sure. Guildenstern Mother fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Dec 23, 2020 |

The puns are the best part of the game hands down. If you're not here for those what else are you here for?

Blastinus posted:I like to assume that the book of spells has more than just three, but it only shows the pertinent ones in order to avoid red herrings. Alternatively, this particular wizard just really enjoyed rain for some reason. The wizard was a stardew fanatic obviously.

So a fun way to get stuck is to try the teacup on the swamp and then leave the screen. If you do that and then try and give the log the tomato it won't accept it. You have to start the whole stupid conversation over via the teacup to progress.

So fun thing I found out recently. A) there's a speedrunning community for this game because of course there is B) they recently figured out that in the next section you can hold down alt and walk straight through the tile puzzle

The floor solution AND an unmarked map of the catacombs are in the manual.

It won't let you try most of them actually. edit: The narrator just says "The lord of the dead is unlikely to be moved by that"

Snorb posted:Was giving the handkerchief to Ali (the ghost, not the bookshop owner) optional? I could have sworn you needed to do that so he'd tell you about the secret passage behind the armor. It is not optional, and if for some reason you can't figure out that you need to give the ghost kid the ghost mom's handkerchief his crying will eventually draw the guards. Trying to bother the suit of armor doesn't work otherwise. edit: Apparently you can give the mint to the man in black before you fake your death, and he stumbles off wasted. Not sure if that makes him gently caress off permanently and puts you in an awkward position re: endgame. He might come back after awhile but I'm too lazy to keep walking around waiting to test it.

DoubleNegative posted:The KQ2 remake devs tried to take the plot point about "The Society of the Black Cloak" and stretch it so that its members include every evil sorcerer a member of the Daventry Royal Family meets. That includes the gingerbread witch and Hagatha from the first two KQ games. Kind of makes me wonder if they were going for something like W.I.T from qfg2

The background spirits reactions were a bit over the top, that was the only flaw.

That's neat, I'd never seen the guard dog deaths before I figured it was just a looped animation forever.

lol so I mentioned at the start of the thread my sister was LPing this, and she just finished recently, but didn't do quite as well. I got a text "hey I got the right lamp finally and finished the game" so I start saying things like "oh blah blah your family and all the other island rulers" etc, and it turns out she save scummed the lamp situation, and then after all that work fed the genie mint at the top of the stairs. I'm going to make fun of her about this for years.
