A Tale of Two Kingdoms: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]] - Arawn Nos.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]] - Branwyn always has something to add to the conversation between Maeldun and another character when she is present. Geraint is also not bad at this.

⚫

* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]] - You need to buy a flute, and the most obvious ways for getting money are {{spoiler|gambling with the goblins, using the wishing well, or selling the sorcerer's figurine}}. In the unlikely event that you miss the opportunity for all of those, it may seem like you're stuck... but you can still {{spoiler|find a pot of gold under the rainbow; if you've already lost ''that'', you can sell Morholt's crystal.}}

* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]] - this is a [[Fairy Tale]], after all.

* [[Evil Sorcerer]] - The [[Big Bad]].

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]] - Want to catch that assassin? Sorry, you just can't.

⚫

* [[The Fair Folk]]

* [[Fairy Tale]]

* [[Fantastic Foxes]] - the Pooka.

Line 44:

Line 46:

* [[Pardon My Klingon]] - Goblins use "gronk" as a catch-all swearword.

* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]] - The goblins, and especially Rashakk Skullcrusher.

⚫

* [[Redemption Equals Death]] - {{spoiler|Geraint, more or less. He doesn't die so much as get turned into a vulture.}}

* [[Reconstruction]] - The game attempts to recreate the fun and joy of old VGA quests while jettisoning their annoying moments ([[Unwinnable]], [[Guide Dang It]], etc.).

⚫

* [[Redemption Equals Death]] - {{spoiler|Geraint, more or less. He doesn't die so much as get turned into a vulture.}}

* [[Shout-Out]]: Dozens of them, especially to ''[[King's Quest]]'' games.

** There are at least two to ''[[Discworld]]''. You can find "Twurp's Peerage" in the monastery's library, and Maeldun describes cider as a drink made of apples. "Well, mostly apples."

Line 53:

** If you try to enter a stump, a message will appear, requiring you to insert [[The Secret of Monkey Island|disk 23]], followed by 'Oops, wrong game.' Also, on the monk's bed there is a book called '[[The Secret of Monkey Island|The Mystery of Ape Atoll]],' (no, not [[RuneScape|THAT]] Ape Atoll) which involves swordfighting, dark magic and the undead.

* [[Spiritual Successor]] - Of the ''[[King's Quest]]'' series. It was even originally conceived as a [[Fan Sequel]] to the aforementioned franchise.

⚫

* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]] - You need to buy a flute, and the most obvious ways for getting money are {{spoiler|gambling with the goblins, using the wishing well, or selling the sorcerer's figurine}}. In the unlikely event that you miss the opportunity for all of those, it may seem like you're stuck... but you can still {{spoiler|find a pot of gold under the rainbow; if you've already lost ''that'', you can sell Morholt's crystal.}}

⚫

* [[The Fair Folk]]

* [[True Love's Kiss]] - required, of course, to wake the sleeping princess. {{spoiler|And no, you're not her true love.}}

* [[Unwinnable]] - One trait of old Sierra adventures that [[Averted Trope|wasn't adopted]] by the game's creators.
