every autumn i replay the Quest for Glory series, and every single time i find something new in one of them
today's find: using the mouth verb on the fireplace in the Hero's Tale Inn produced this puzzling parser reply
.... until i realized it interpreted my action as "spit in fireplace" 🤣
@vga256 This is very fun, but also by this measure you could accuse every ‘talk’ interaction as the player trying to bite/lick/kiss/spit on people. And this is why text parsers are better than verb icons! : D
@ThreeOhFour i love that they took the time to actually bother with something interesting! it's more of a space quest joke, and it adds even more flavour because of the contrast
@vga256 I actually think that QFG is kind of very varied, tonally. Lots of fun Easter eggs and weird ideas. Like the weird idea that you want to play Codename: ICEMAN
@ThreeOhFour haha the early ones are great for that. it started to take itself a little seriously later on, and i loved the goofy tone of the first two
@vga256 Yeah, I hear that.
