Famous Adventurer's Correspondence School: Adventuring 101, Quest for Glory
Welcome, Welcome to the first course in the Famous Adventurer's Correspondence School! In Adventuring 101 we're going to cover the basic aspects of adventuring using one of our more successful graduates adventures in the town of Spielburg as template to covers such essential adventuring concepts as: monster fighting, outdoorsmanship, wilderness survival, and interacting with NPCs!
But first I have a couple of questions for the class: 1. Do you prefer the class to be taught in fancy new HD or do you prefer the use of original source materials? Original: HD: My preference is for the original but I am, if anything, respectful of my student's wished Second, there is some degree of dispute by adventuring experts just how the Spielburg hero saved the town, multiple contradicting sources exist on the subject. While I will make reference to all three of the major texts trough out the course which would the class prefer as our primary text? Will we use the Fighter, Wizard, or Thief text?

OH, look! It's my favorite Sierra game.
I vote Original + Thief since that is how I always played. |

Original plus magic-using thief, please! SO excited for this LP.

Yeah, the other two classes have cool stuff in later games, but honestly, magic-using thief is where it's at.
Also, kinda curious about the newer graphics! |
#6
|
|||
|
|||
Magic thief! And also new graphics.
|
#7
|
|||
|
|||
Wizard, graphics don't matter.
|
#8
|

|

Magic thief basically gives you all of the options. It's a very flexible build!
|
#9
|
|||
|
|||
High-definition magic thief. :V
|
#10
|

|

FUCK YES
magic using thief, the way we ALL played as kids. |
#11

|

Original graphics, wizzzard

Thief can start with every skill in the game. No reason to take magic user (who is not a wizard in this game). Fighter has some cool equipment, but the thief missions are awesome.
I love this game in either incarnation. I demand you showcase all of the monsters. Yes, even the crazy nighttime ones. ETA: Also, poke the antwerp and see how many goblins you can kill |

Ah, I remember reading the SA let's play of this... Good times!
Sure, give us a thief. |

You have to play a thief, with magic skills. That way if you ever make it to part 2, you can do the wizard's school and the trip to the harem. As for parts 3 and 4, eh. I think you can reassign yourself at the start of 3, just depends on which class sidequests you find more lame, cause they are mutually exclusive. Put points in parry too if you wanna do some dueling.
To think, they went through all that effort to remake 2 in VGA, and I still can't start an orgy in the harem? Or bang the currency exchanger? Last edited by Sapper Gopher; 10-08-2011 at 06:33 PM. |

In that case, consider my vote changed to Thief with magic.

I'll put a vote down for magic-using thief, either version works for me.
Pft, I always rolled fighter because swords are pretty snazzy. And after 2, it was always Paladin. |
#18
|

|
|||
I'm adding this thread to my watch list.
Also, HD + Thief. |

Original and the Cecil class. Man, if everyone played the magic thief, you'd think you'd want to see him play as a different class...
|
#20

People choose the thief because there's so much more to do with him. Personally, I never bothered with magic, since it just added something else you needed to train.

My vote goes for original version. There's just something inherently charming about those classic neon-looking visuals.
Also I vote for thief. Take everything that's not bolted down, and get many, many Game Overs in the process! |
#22
|
|||
|
|||
But the magic challenges and wizard duels are so cool
|
#23

?
! (Side note: This is the one place where the VGA remake is definitely better) |
#24
|

|

Curse tradition, I want pretty pretty colors!
|
#25
|
|||
|

VGA!
I kind of liked being a wizardin, myself. |

Another vote for the old-school graphics.
Actually, if I had my druthers I'd vote for a CGA emulation through a Hercules amber-and-black graphics adapter, since that's how I played it as a wee lad, but beggars can't be choosers. |

actually, all three paths in the first game are fun, and i definitely remember doing the wizard test with my thief caster.

A note from your instructor
Okay, start thinking about what you want to name this hero... Remember that this guy could be joining us through the next four games is "Pants" going to be funny that entire time?

They're comfy and easy to wear.
Edit: No, you're right.
