''Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire'' is the fifth and last game in the ''[[Quest for Glory]]'' series, a 3D revival of the franchise brought about by fan request. After the events of the last game, the Hero finds himself teleported to Silmaria to discover the truth behind the murder of Silmaria's King. Many characters from previous installments are [[Back for
=== Contains examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Actionized Sequel]]: Combat is a much larger part of this game. Especially if you are neither a Fighter nor a Paladin. Previous games of the series made it a point that thieves and magic users could complete the game with very little to no fighting - simply running away from random encounters and defeating potential bosses through puzzles and guile rather than brute force. Here, several mission objectives ''require'' one to fight, no matter what class they are.
* [[And the Adventure Continues...]]: A possible ending. If you refuse to become King, you can say that you want to keep adventuring.
* [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]: {{spoiler|Either you or Elsa}} gets crowned King of Silmaria.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Nawar, who does not even have a face in [[Quest for Glory II]], returns as a love interest.
** Although to be fair, she was easily the most memorable of the faceless concubines in the Emir's harem.

Line 17:
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: You can't actually do anything to prevent the plot that would unleash the dragon.
* [[Fandom Nod]]: As the fans were instrumental in keeping this game afloat, the Adventurer's Guild has several references to prominent Quest for Glory forum members.
* [[Genre Shift]]: The first four ''QfG'' games were adventure with RPG elements, while ''Dragon Fire'' is the other way around. Since the elements were always a part of the series, the shift is less jarring than with ''[[King's Quest: Mask of Eternity
* [[Gladiator Subquest]]: The Coliseum.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In the endgame, you and several others can do this.
