    Kuroinokaze, I will never be able to fully express my thanks, not only for playing and recording this game, but for all the work you put into your Longplay.

    This is the entire content of the "Gameplay" section on the Wikipedia article for KQV:
    "The owl Cedric accompanies Graham through the entire game to provide commentary and advice. He has to be rescued from danger at several points, but the owl rarely says or does anything useful, except towards the end when he saves Graham's life from a spell."
    Truer words have never been spoken. No citation is even necessary.

  • @playlistsaving2650
    @playlistsaving2650 3 роки тому +12

    It's way overdue but I'd like to give context to 48:40 for those who are unfamiliar with KQ lore. In KQ3, you play as "Gwydion"(Alexander), a boy that is a servant to the Wizard Manannan who kidnapped him when he was a newborn baby and kept him in a mountain house for 17 years. For some reason. This isn't entirely ever touched on, but Manannan had planned to kill Alexander when he turned 18. Through trial and error, he(and by extension, you as the player) stumble upon magic scrolls when sneaking around Manannan's library, and turning his captive into a cat when he ate a cookie by Alexanders magic spell becomes a motive as of why Mordack took the entire family to exchange them to turn Manannan back into his former self.
    So Mordack reiterated his brothers actions by kidnapping people just for the sake of kidnapping them. To understand this a bit more you would need a slew of knowledge of previous KQ titles to connect these dots together which is interesting and all but when they're being this vague it easily becomes missable. Especially in KQ6 where you do reunite with certain KQ3 characters that you only saw once but the game acts as if they've always been there. Also, PSA, Graham would be canonically dead by now if it wasn't for Rosella, as he literally got a heart attack right after reuniting with Alexander which is why you play KQ4 as Rosella. Oh and for some reason, KQ3 involved dragons and sacrifices that never got mentioned again.

  • @TheAdmiral14

    I've watched and laughed at this many times. I loved these games as a kid but my God do they not hold up even a little. They were terrible. Sierra's idea of "replay value" was tons of illogical ways to make the game unwinnable with no idea what you'd done "wrong" - the custard pie/Yeti puzzle is maybe the most infamously dumb puzzle in any game ever. This was the first game, I'm pretty sure, to ever have voice acting, and that was so mind-blowing at the time no one stopped to think how laughably awful it was - literally performed by whoever was around the Sierra offices and wanted to do a voice.

    "Ah life giving water, nectar of the gods' is the new 'pulls out his magic map' We get to hear it over and over.

    King Graham was voiced by one of the developers, Josh Mandel. High quality voice acting indeed.

    The art when Graham is looking up at Cedric in the beginning is used at least 6 more times in the story. Cassima, etc...

    It can be said that Graham is extremely easily distracted, and thus an awful adventurer. I would argue this: He gets extremely easily distracted, and constantly only narrowly avoids death through the dumbest means possible, but still gets the original job he had planned to acomplish not only in spite of his dumbass tangents, but because of those tangents instead.
    He's so incredibly easily distracted that he actually achieves a weird hypercompetence. He's like batman, but instead of being prepared for every situation, he just bumbles his way through every possible situation until he's hyper prepared for what he was supposed to be doing the entire time.

    This game makes a lot more sense if you imagine those flowers Graham sniffed in the beginning were actually hallucinogenic.

    Funny commentary but KQ5 is a true classic and a cornerstone in the Adventure game series. Cedric is annoying but I find myself saying "ooh watch out Graham a poooooisonous snake" far too often. Love you Roberta Williams.

      Funny commentary but no.
      It's abysmal and obnoxious on every level, filled with idiotic, nonsensical Roberta Williams-esque puzzles, shitty writing and voice acting.
      Sierra text adventure games were cornerstone in the Adventure game series. This? Garbage.

    Actually, I was referring to the first game (the comment I replied to was the one where you were talking about it), because if you have the phantasmagoria guide, they have a little FAQ in there, one question asking why the ending sucks so much and "Sometimes life's a bummer isn't it?" is literally the explanation given by Roberta Williams. Although it does apply to the sequel as well.

    That's not the most baffling budget ever, which is ET.
    ET's budget was $125 million. Adjusted for inflation you could buy a pair of F-22s and still have $9.5 million to make the game with.

    Actually, the stick and the shoe as well as the gold coin and gold needle are interchangeable for plot purposes. You can still win with swapping those out, though you get less points. There's a later gold item you get that you can give away, though, and THAT will screw you if you do.

    I think what the willow meant was that the prince was sent to a far-off land (let's say Daventry because whatever) far before the events of this game, and he's just now managed to get anywhere near her. I doubt she's managed to keep tabs on the guy 'cause...you know, tree.
