RPG sequel question

Hey thanks for all the links.
I got another problem now though.
I can\'t find that beast in the desert of shapier.
I had no problems when I used to play.
I go 5 lengths west, then 3 north, and theres nothing there.
Im using an Imported Thief.
Thanks for your response.
I also have already kill the fire and Air elemental.
thanks.

Hmmm, yeah the beast stumped me a few times too. What I usually do is go to the overlook of Shapeir and walk left until you reach Merv the Griffon. Walk two screens farther to the left and then head south. If that dosen\'t work, try just walking one screen to the left of Merv. You should find the beast there. Just make sure you bring along plenty of water and your saurus in case you get lost.

If you still can\'t find him.. try searching again after you\'ve beaten the Earth Elemental and talked to Aziza.

As always, thanks.
Is there any point in becoming a Paladin in part 2?
Can you do anything different if you become one in Part 2.
I cant remember.
I know there are loads you can do in the 4th game.
Im thinkin about gettin the Leisure Suit larry collection soon.
Man those games were fun.

Nope, none of the Paladin\'s extra abilities were built into the second game so there\'s nothing special with becoming a paladin except for a small speach by Rakeesh in the end scenes. The only real incentive to become one in QFG2 is that it helps you immencely in QFG3 since you start out as one after importing your character and bypass having to "earn" it. If you really know what you\'re doing, you might be able to pull off a Fighter/Mage/Theif character that can still become a paladin at the end.. but you\'d have to be a Fighter first and foremost since you NEED to complete some certain fighter only scenarios in a specific manner.

Good luck getting the LSL collection. Last I heard it was sold out until Sierra could free up enough CDBurners to start production again. It\'s well worth the cash if you can find it though. I\'ve got all seven (or should I say Six, since there never was a fourth game), so if you need some help with those too, let me know.

BTW: Do you have Napster? If so, put me on your Hotlist so we can chat without having mess with cluttering up the forums. My username should be {8up}.

P.S. I didn\'t want to start a new post, but I just found out some LSL news. I was browsing the forums at Al Lowe\'s Humor site and saw that one of the guys who runs a LSL Fan page. He said he read a N64 magazine that had an artical about how Sierra may make a LSL game for the GameBoy Advance. If that\'s true, then I may just have to buy a GBA... provided Nintnedo dosen\'t censor the crap outta the game first. Personally, I\'d rather see it on a machine with GBA\'s capabilities, than be bastardised by a poor 3D engine and half-assed motivated programmers. There\'s even a chance that Sierra won\'t ask Al back to direct another LSL game and just make it on their own.

It\'s all just rumor and speculation, but a guy can hope can\'t he.

I didnt think so.
I was just going to change my proffesion in part 2 to a fighter, but they wouldnt let me like they do in part 3 and 4. Right now Im in the African Village(cant remember the name), building up my stats.
Nah, I dont have a CD burner or broadband so i dont use napster. I do however have AIM.
My name is in my profile.

Damn.. yer already in the Simbani village? I started playing early last night and I\'ve just now gotten my theif/mage into Shapeir. Damn, too bad they never brough out the Multiplayer fuction of QFG5 or else I\'d challenge you to a fight in the arena.

It\'s odd that it wouldn\'t let you change to a fighter in part II. When I imported my theif/mage, I automatically got changed to a fighter for some reason.. probably because of my high weapon use and dodge skills. I think the game will go ahead and give me the theif scenarios since I\'ve already hooked up with Dinarzad (God I wish you were given the option to marry her in QFG5 rather than that whore Nawar) on a few jobs.

Anyhow, I think Lori and Corey set up QFG 3 & 4 to ask your main class since those games were a bit more linear than the first two titles. (Limitations in the SCI engine I believe was the reason) When you choose your class, the game sets up some pre-determined events and takes you through that version of the game.. but many sub-quests and multi-solution puzzles are available for all classes with the right skills.

Well that sucks that you don\'t have Napster, cause I don\'t have AIM. My ICQ is screwed up and I just haven\'t bothered with reinstalling or fixing it. If you\'ve got mIRC we could chat there since this board\'s chat won\'t work. Pick a channel and a time and I\'ll try to make it.

Coolness.
At the end of the first game I had every stat maxed out, and same with the second one.
Right now, I\'m in the simbani village trying to max out my stats.
Also, I\'m trying to get into the chieftan\'s hut, but he wont let me in, that bastard.
I need to give him the horn, so I can whoop Yesufa in the Initiation.
Is there any way to win the running parts of the race?
Thats the only event I cant win.
Oh yeah, where can you practice climbing i the third one?

ERRR. Damnit.
I cant get into Laibons tent.
Can you only enter it a few times or something?
I maxed out my guy.
Its day 37.
Please tell me theres a way to get in there.

You may have to use a slowdown utility if you get errors while in the hut/trying to enter the hut. If the Laibon just won\'t see you, all I can say is be persistant and try at certain times of the day. Usually noon and mid-afternoon are the best times to see him.

And no, there is no way to beat Yesefu that I know of. Sure a one sided victory would be nice, but the race really dosen\'t mean all that much anyhow as long as you can whoop him at every other event. I guess it was just the designers way of telling the player "No matter how good you are at something, there will always be someone better."

As for climbing, it\'s a bit tedious but if you keep climbing up and down the rope on the wrestling bridge you should be able max out that skill. Usually I just wait until QFG4 when there are more places to practice skills.

BTW: Did you know that you can start QFG3 with 250 skill points in at least two areas? All you have to do is max out the skills you want to get the advantage with in QFG2, then wish for more of that skill when you\'re talking to the Djinn in Suliman\'s tomb. The game will automatically add 50 skill points, despite being maxxed out anyhow. As long as you\'re careful and don\'t use that skill very much from then until the end of the game.. you character will be saved with those two skills at 250. They aren\'t lost when importing into QFG3 either so it\'s possible to say, start off QFG3 will the maximum 300 points in Weapon Use.

Awesome.
Next time I go through the whole series I\'ll do that trick.
Someone on the QFG5 board said you can only go into his hut a few times and then you just can\'t get in.
So I just restarted my game from the beginning.
I\'m once again maxing out my character.
Its not as bad this time, cause I figured out a quick way to do it.
Go to the bridge and do the monkey bars, and then put your mouse over where you need to click to start working, and then just put something on the "enter" key and leave for a little while, and thatll build up your strength pretty fast.
You can do the same thing at the target for vitality and throwing.
Agility is one of the harder skills to work up.
Once Uhura gives you bridge instruction, just get on the bridge and start jumping, or ducking, or moving left or right, and thatll get your agility up. Not as fast though.
I dont know any other tricks.
You?

Correction. Sierra WAS the best gaming company ever. Ever since Ken Williams was forced to sell the company and the new management decided to layoff the entire Oakhurst division (The Heart and Soul of the original Sierra) and close up shop there just because they didn\'t like the long drive.. Sierra just hasn\'t been the same. Not only do they not have the close relationship with their fans that they used to.. they are also producing crap. The only game worth mentioning in the last two years is Half-Life.. and it was Valve.. not Sierra who made it. I mean, Pro-BullRider.. Bass Fishing??? WTF is this crap??

Oh well. I wouldn\'t trust Havas/Sierra to do a remake of QFG. There are so many little nuances and easter eggs that Lori and the original QFG staff put in that they\'d never make the transition without Lori or Corey in charge of the project. Hell even they were, Corey would have to take the games apart and search the code for all the Easter Eggs since often the programmers never saw the need to inform Lori or Corey of them. Ever figure out how to see Zayisha\'s boobs when you exchange clothes with her in QFG2? Ever try to look at Dinarzad\'s guard? How about clicking on the scorpion or just click random spots on the screen the original QFG1? That\'s just a few of hundreds upon hunderds little eggs burried thoughout the series that will be lost if anyone else gets ahold of it.

PS: Try buying the Ali Fakir (Groucho Marks) glasses in Keapon Laffin\'s shop. When yer in Rasier, put them on before Mayun pulls you into Zayisha\'s hideaway. It\'s "Like looking through a veil".

Hey! I\'ve never even played any of these Quest for Glory games but I\'m sure Havas would do an excellent job. After all, Havas is the company which spawned the almighty allpowerful allseeing allknowing Blizzard Entertainment.


Me loves Blizzard

Solid,you just dont know.
The Quest for Glory series is a masterpiece.
Everyone of the games are good(the ones I\'ve played), and they tie into the rest of the series really well.
You should go out and pick up the Anthology.
Its only like 25 bucks for 4 games.
That is if you are an Adventure game fan.

Huh? I may just have to check in over there and find out who said that. As far as I know, you can enter his hut as many times as you want depending on the time of day. Least, that\'s the way it works out for me. There was a mass exodus of users from the QFG5 forum to other forums like Hans Halfwitten\'s and TheFACSRessurection about a year ago. Ugarte was one of the few who stayed. I check up on the place ever once in a while to see how things are going, but I won\'t post because of a promise I made to some of the ex-mods. Most of people there seem to be newbies to the series, so you may want to head over to either of the other two boards I mentioned for some additional help. You\'ll find their links in the FACS section of the QFG5 website.

You may also want to watch that little "trick" of yours. It\'s a good idea, and I used to do it all the time too. Just remember that if your stamina runs too low it will effect your health. If you forget about your character for too long, he\'ll die from overexertion. Any more, I do all my character\'s excersising by hand. For me, it just helps to increase the feeling that I made my character. It\'s kinda like the attachment you form with a Final Fantasy or Phantasy Star character you\'ve spent a good deal of time powering up.

Yeah, I died a few times cause I was playing starfighter while my guy trained, and would get wrapped up in the level and come back to find him dead, so I would just do it for a little then save, and then do some more.
Did you piss some mods off or something?
I did that thing by trying to go in and for four Quest days I would wake up in the village, go to his hut and try to get in.
Then exert myself and rest then try to get in, and for four days , I never got in.
So I just started over.
I\'m almost back to where I was.

Well that\'s not really what I\'m getting at. QFG has amassed quite a cult following due to it\'s quirky humor and unique gameplay. You can almost feel the impression of the designers personality on the game.. and that would be lost in the trasition. I mean, Sierra was so much more than a company.. they were a community. Sure the games may technically be better in a remake.. but it would loose all the magic in the trasition ya know.

Sides, Havas wouldn\'t do anything but fund Sierra. It\'s Sierra\'s job to allocate funds to a digree and keep up quality control. If Havas decides to cut funding to the QFG Remake project.. then the games won\'t make the full transisiton they need to be good titles, let alone stay true to it\'s roots. Also Sierra wouldn\'t put the love and attention into the game that Lori and Corey would. They\'d just want to make it as cheaply as possible and alterate it to fit the mass market, never paying mind to those who built Sierra.. it\'s core fans who, unfortunately, are nothing more than a nitch market anymore.
