Quest for Glory is a series of hybrid / designed by Corey. The series combined, elements, themes and characters borrowed from various legends, and memorable characters, creating a 5-part series of the stable.Although the series was originally titled Hero's Quest, failed to the name.
Successfully trademarked an electronic version of their unrelated joint, which forced Sierra to change the series' title to Quest for Glory. This decision caused all future games in the series (as well as newer releases of Hero's Quest I) to switch over to the new name. Contents SeriesThe series consisted of five games, each of which followed directly upon the events of the last.
New games frequently referred to previous entries in the series, often in the form of cameos from recurring characters. The objective of the series is to transform the player character from an average adventurer to a by completing non-linear quests.The game also was revolutionary in its character import system, which allowed you to import your individual character, including the skills and wealth he had acquired, from one game to the next.Hybrids by their gameplay and themes, the games feature serious stories leavened by humor throughout. There are real dangers to face, and true heroic feats to perform, but silly details and overtones creep in (when the drama of adventuring doesn't force them out). Cheap is particularly frequent, to the point that 's ending refers to itself as the hero's 'latest set of adventures and miserable.' The games also have some memorable, including a number of allusions to other Sierra games. For example if one types 'pick nose' in the first game, (or click the lockpick icon on the player in the new version), if his lock-picking skill was high enough, the game would respond 'Success!
You now have an open nose'; If the skill was too low, the player would insert the lock pick too far, killing himself. Another example is Dr. Cranium, an allusion to, in the fourth game.Each game drew its inspiration from a different culture and mythology (in order, /; /; /; /; and finally ) with the hero facing increasingly powerful opponents with help from characters who become increasingly familiar from game to game.Each game varied somewhat from the tradition it is derived from; for example, a character borrowed from Slavic folklore, first appeared in the first game. The second game introduced several and -themed characters who reappeared in the third game, and characters from every game and genre in the series reappeared in the fourth and fifth games. In addition to deviating from the player's expectations of the culture represented in each game, the series also included a number of intentional, such as the -loving, in the later games.There was some criticism concerning the games as time-consuming. For example, while adding to realism, in order to build a certain skill or reach a certain point of time, the player has to (such as 'climb tree', 'get rock'-'throw rock'), or walk aimlessly until the time passes.GameplayThe gameplay standards established in earlier adventure games were enhanced by the player's ability to choose his character's path from among the three traditional backgrounds:, /.
Further variation was added by the ability to customize the Hero's abilities, including the option of selecting normally reserved for another, leading to unique combinations often referred to as 'hybrid characters'. During the second or third games, a character could be initiated as a by performing honorable actions, changing his class and abilities and receiving a unique sword. This would apply when the character is exported into later games. Any character that finished any game in the series (except Dragon Fire, the last in the series) could be exported to a more recent game ( Shadows of Darkness has a glitch which allows one to import characters from the same game), keeping the stats and parts of the inventory. If the character received the paladin sword, he would keep the (Soulforge or Piotyr's sword) and special paladin magic abilities.
A character imported into a later game in the series from any other game could be assigned any character class, including Paladin.Each career path had its own strengths and weaknesses, scenarios unique to those that possess the skills associated with it. Each class also had its own distinct way to solve various in-game puzzles, which encouraged replay: some puzzles had up to four different solutions. For instance, if a door is closed, instead of lockpicking or casting an open spell, the fighter can simply knock down the door.
The magic user and the thief are both non-confrontational characters, as they lack the close range ability of the fighter, but are better able to attack from a distance, using daggers or spells. An example of these separate paths can be seen early in the first game.
