AGD Interactive is proud to present one of the most awaited fangames ever. After a long and hard development process, the game went gold around midnight on the 24th/25th of august.

AGD Interactive has taken great care to maintain the charm, atmosphere and gameplay of the original while implementing features here and there to make the experience more enjoyable for both newcomers and veterans alike. Seeing how long it's been in production and how many people have heard of it, there's probably little I can add, other than...come and get it, Effendi.

Woohoo! Thanks ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Congratulations! I'm downloading now. I've been waiting for this game since around the time when KQ1VGA was released. That seems like ages ago. This must be the biggest and most ambitious fangame project that has been released I think. So to be able to pull this of its... I'm speechless. Big hugs to all of you at AGD!
Wow almost too proffesional to be true! :D
Congrats!
I've seen the 'behind the scenes' recently. Very impressive stuff. Good thing Bank Holidays exist. Will be playing this one later today.
Thanks.

Urgh. No bank holiday here. I have to wait for tonight.
Thank you so much, I have been waiting many years for this release. Thank you so much.
I've never ever seen any of the original QfG-games in their day, so thanks for giving me the chance to catch up! Loading it down now.
Just completed the game being my favourite class "magic user". Brilliant remake, but I did wish for some the graphics mainly sprites in this occasion to look slighty different. But generally, one amazing effort and definetly worth the wait.
Wow! I've been waiting for this one! I can't wait to play... ;D
Thank you Erpy and especially the AGD's!
Wow, you finally did it! Let's see, I am 21, and it took 8 years... Wow, I waited my whole teenagehood for this! Will it be worth it? I darn well hope so! Kudos, I am seriously impressed with you guys!
AWESOME!!!!! Downloaded it, playing it...don't think I can ever go back to the original now. I can't even imagine the amount of work you must have put into this--it's a gorgeous game.
Quick question for you. My original QFG1 character was a thief in the QFG1 remake who spent points on the "other class" skills at the beginning of the game, so as to, in effect, be all three classes in one. Interestingly enough, when I imported him into classic QFG2, the game recognised him as a Fighter, instead of a Thief--but I guess he still had the Thief Sign on his hand, because in this and in later games, I was still able to join Thieves' Guilds and use their services. (Needless to say, I became a Paladin and was now FOUR classes in one).
My question for you is: If one uses your remake instead of classic QFG2, is this sort of (admittedly exploitative) progression possible? Is it possible to import a thief as a fighter (thus gaining the ability to become a paladin) without losing the ability to make use of thief guilds?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, this is a feature we added to the game at the very last minute. You'll now be able to change your class if it gets recognized as the wrong type upon importing it into the remake. ;D
Downloaded it and I'm still playing. Looks very good so far. Will there be a speech pack in the future like it was in KQ?

Excellent! But if I import my thief as a fighter, will he still be able to join the Thieves' Guild in this and later QFGs? This worked before but I don't know if it will work now.
It will. To join thief guilds you only need thief skills, not necessarily a thief class.
And there most likely will not be a voice pack. Way too many lines in there.

Who needs a voice pack when you can read it out loud in whatever voice you like? LOL!
You guys did a great job with the game. It still has that old feel to it which is the most important thing for me. (My older brother and I played this game back when it was new in the early 90s... great memories!)
Hi.
Thanks a lot for the game. I really love these series.
I don't know if this is the appropriate place to report a bug, but I didn't find a dedicated thread in the bugsechnical section.
In WIT, I'm being asked the question "what is the element most appropriate for the owner of the magic shop"
which is another character's puzzle. Apart from that, it doesn't recognize the correct answer.
I restarted with the same class character, and it let me in all right. Though I'm sadly too far into the game to restart.
Yeah, that's a bug. For some reason the label's text doesn't get set properly. The answers to the WIT questions are your name, "magic"/"to be a wizard"/"to learn magic" that sort of thing. Then you just click your sponsor.
(http://www.agdiforums.com/forum/images/avatars/moodpics/Nashnorm.jpg)
Yes, someone else reported this obscure bug, too. We haven't been able to replicate it yet. You don't, by chance, happen to have a savegame prior to entering WIT which demonstrates this glitch, do you? If so, could you please email it to info-at-agdinteractive.com (replacing -at- with @). That would be handy. Thanks.
I find it impossible to download! Each time I enter your site, the links and buttons, well, just do not respond. I am using Internet Explorer 6, could that be the reason? A direct link would be much appreciated!

To view the site you need IE7. Or the latest version of FireFox (or whatever browser you use) will work.
Erpy + AGD2: I love you guys so much. I've been waiting for a long time for this game to be released, and now that is, I will be shut in my office (our spare room) for weeks without food or water... just QFG2. ;D
Thank you for this game!

will do so.
I am a bit in two minds about the game, and will say so now, and then hide behind some sturdy table.
This is one hell of a professional game. The amount of good looking art, fitting music,
quality animation is breathtaking. I loved it in your KQ remakes, and in QFG too, it's great-looking, great-sounding, smooth retro glory (heh).
It's also a hell of a scripting effort, all those little extra GUIs, the main menu loader, all sound and well-made.
But somehow, I can't really get into the *game*. I see its parts and admire them, but compared to the two KQ remakes, the QFG remake seems, well, less dense, less straight. It might be part of the gameplay, but, to be honest, I did expect something more than, after a gorgeous introduction, be dropped into what is basically a huge maze without any idea what to do. It doesn't grab me by the neck with that urgent "find the princess/save the world/get some tea really quick" approach.
It boils down to navigating a huge maze where you can do very little apart from knocking at doors and meeting a Marx brother, and that at the very start of the game. Mazes are shrugged upon, and making the first tangible puzzle a maze puzzle, no. That is poor design, or re-design.
This is all a personal oppinion, and I will happily admit that I did never play the original QFG games ALL THE WAY THROUGH. But it's maybe a point to ponder- this game lacks soul. I still admire the game for the effort and work. But should I pick a favourite of your games, KG2 still is the one I'd pick.

That's pretty much how the original QFG2 is, but it's not all without reason. Without going into too much spoilers, the game is more of a free-roaming do whatever you want to do-type game, and so the main epic storyline doesn't fully kick in until the end.
Admittedly, I also found it a little hard to get into, because I initially thought the learning curve was too steep. I've been playing it a lot more though, after I've gotten used to the new combat system, which is GREAT compared to the old one. The old one only had two moves: attack and doge, and you basically needed to just spam attack until you won the fight. The new one, though challenging at first, incorporates a lot more strategy and thinking.
I've yet to finish it, so I'll hold back the rest of my comments until then.
I have to admit that this city-maze thing is a pain in the ass and just forces me to quit the game, even with the easy navigation turned on. I guess this approach just isn't my cup of tea.
But despite of that, the game really is well done, graphics and animations are superb. You must have had a very hard time programming this. I admire you!

Sorry to jump to the defense again here, but...
The only times you need to use the city-maze is
1) To get to the moneychangers (at the very beginning), but you already get directions to there, so write them down.
2) To get back to the plaza, which you also get directions to from the moneychanger.
After that, you never need to use the maze again except for side-quests (I may be wrong about this, but you should get directions for those side-quests anyway), and you can get anywhere you want by buying a map and straight clicking to your destination of choice.
Yes, but destinations don't show up on your map until you've visited there first. Well, except for the main areas like the squares etc.
HELP! Okay, I went to the official (AGD) site and downloaded the game... no problems... It looks nothing like the screenshots! It just looks like the original (first remake)... Why?
I think you've done a fantastic job with the game overall and are to be commended, specifically as I am a quest for glory fan who has played the series on several occasions (and kept all my saves, too!).
I particularly liked how you handled Shapeir's streets, both visually and in complexity. The two difficulty settings vary from easier than the original and harder than the original, which is also interesting. In the original I could, for instance, just take left turns at just about every path and reach every destination eventually, but not so in this new version!
Also, I like what you tried to do with expanding the combat system by allowing enemies to attack you at once instead of waiting single file for their chance (adding side-kick and the context-sensitive dodging was nice as well). I say tried because, while I think you added a lot to it, you also made it way, way, way, way overcomplicated and made the difficulty level unenjoyable for me -- and I love a challenge. Even after importing my qfg 1 fighter, training until I could beat uhura effortlessly, a quick jaunt into the desert landed me with a single bandit victory after about 6 solid defeats on the lowest setting, and I am by no means poor at these things. The main problem as I see it is that fights just drag on too long; the enemies have about 4x too much health for the amount of damage you deal based on some testing I've done, and they all seem to hurt you way much more than you hurt them. In short, the combat is severely unbalanced at this stage, and based on talking to several other agsers about this I do not think I'm alone in this assessment.
Fixing this could be as simple as dropping their health to far more reasonable levels or allowing the hero to deal 'equivalent' damage, and by that I mean allowing him to roughly deduct the same chunk of health from the enemy per hit that, say, a bandit can from his. After some testing I found I had to do roughly 4-5 hits to do the same quantity of damage as a Bandit did in 1 (and I'm not even counting the utterly insane knife throwing loops they get into). The combo strike is only really useful if it knocks them down, because even when I land the two-hitter it only does about half a single strike from most of the creatures.
Some of my stats based on memory are: 109 strength, 140 agility, 120 weapons use, 80 dodge.
I'd really like to see the combat scaled to more qfg 2 levels because you've done so well with the other things and it's a shame to not play this game because the combat punishes me for doing so.
Still, punishing combat aside, I think you've done brilliantly here, so well done.
Okay guys, the game is nothing like you are use to. You can't beat it in an hour or so just because you have the walkthru or because you're highly adventurous... this game has it's own days and events that happen on those days. You need to talk to everyone, collect what you can, when you can, and be patient. (It may be a bit too linear but that's how the original was too.)
Play the game knowing this and it will make it much better of an experience. (And the time playing the game can span over a week or so, if you play a few hours each night. Being a hero takes time! ;D )
I don't think you're right about the combat system, progz. I had a hard time with my first few fights, but once you get a hold of the system and tactics, I don't believe winning is hard(I play at a difficulty setting about 1/4 up the slider). Don't forget that you can also throw daggers and/or cast spells.
I far from forgot knives or magic, and I have used both (all three at one point just to survive one fight). Even though I imported a fighter profession and should be able to best most of the starting enemies without much trouble(even before I trained fully), I did have most of the spells from the original, and after using up 60 magic in flame darts and force bolts I managed to shave a whole 1/4 of a bandit's life. Please don't tell me it's a matter of 'getting used to the tactics' because I fully understand how to fight in the game, thanks, and I'll just repeat that I never had any trouble whatsoever with the combat in the original (not in a frustrating way, I mean). Also, bandits like to get stuck in this infinite loop of throwing daggers at you until you die, and since you fall over when hit, I found it actually impossible to recover at one point when they started. It amounted to a sequence of 'knife throw, fall over, stand up, get hit with another knife, repeat'. There definitely needs to be some sort of limit to their maximum knives if you have a limit, because sometimes they just hurl them like rocks over and over until you fold.
DizzyDancer: I'm not sure what you mean. Are you able to post a screenshot of what you downloaded next to a screenshot you saw in the website to demonstrate the difference between the two?
ProgZmax: Some of those combat stats still seem relatively low. Remember, when you first start the game you're weak. It's not so much a matter of getting used to the tactics as it is building up your stats and skills. As you train Strength and Weapon Use, your attacks will do more damage, and by the time you get them approaching 200, you'll really be able to make short work of most enemies.
Every enemy requires a different approach. It's not the same as the original EGA version where spamming the attack key could kill pretty much any monster. For example, Brigands can toss daggers, so it's best to stay closer to them and concentrate on defense, though you can also block their tossed daggers with your shield, or sidestep them. Brigands can't throw daggers in melee range, though. With Ghouls, on the other hand, it's best to keep your distance from them. You just need to figure out the best strategy for the monster you're facing. Ask at the Guild Hall for advice.
If you're low on health in a desert fight, pressing ESC allows you to get out of combat before you die (and keep whatever stat gains you accrued in battle). And if you keep dying in desert battles, you can instead go to the Adventurer's Guild hall and train with Uhura to build your stats higher before tackling the desert dwellers. It's also recommended that you complete Uhura's combat tutorial. As you learn all the basic moves, and additionally, new moves and combos will also be unlocked to you once your stats pass certain levels.
Remember that the combat has been based on the collective feedback of many people who played the game from beginning to end to determine how it balances over the course of the entire game and with with respect to stat growth.
At the start, your stats won't be very effective. Your dodge sidesteps might not fully register or your shield might not protect you and you'll still be injured. Building your stats (primarily Weapon Use, Strength, Intelligence, Parry, Dodge, and Vitality) are key to outlasting the monsters in combat. Vitality is important because it allows more health and stamina to fit in your bars. Intelligence decreases the chances that enemies will dodge or defend. But until then, the ESC key is your friend!
Thank you so much for the remake of this game! Of 1-4 this is the only one I never finished. I've been waiting on the release since I found out about it several years ago and it was a nice surprise to find out that it was ready.
You have all done a great job here just as you did with the King's Quest remakes. I've only played for a couple of nights so far...mostly just exploring and getting the feel of things, talking to characters, etc. I've already zipped it up and burned it to disk though...I'm hanging on to this one!
Also, if you're playing on easy difficulty, brigands won't toss daggers at all. (nor will any monster use its advanced moves) Monster HP will be lower too.
And on easy, I found that if you set the co-pilot all the way to defense/dodge/misc, you can approach a brigand and casually swing or stab once every 1.5 seconds or so. The copilot will duck/jump away from 80% of the enemy's hits. I found that this way, I could even beat a brigand with a newly created fighter.
As AGD2 said, 80 dodge is pretty low. A lot of your sidesteps will still fail, that's why a dagger barrage could own you. 109 strength and (most likely) a broadsword don't do that much damage yet, but with practice and better equipment you'll eventually become a lot better.

What I'm saying is that the game I got, even though I downloaded it from the AGD website and their is an AGD opening sequence and everything, is the 1990 version... I don't know why but that's what I'm saying... I don't know how to attach images, there is no option...
But you got VGA graphics in this game, right? (I haven't tried the game yet so I don't know.)
Then it is a new remake.
Quote from: DizzyDancer on Sun 31/08/2008 03:58:22

I just don't get your point, as far as I know QFG2 was never remade before, so the original version had 16-colour EGA graphics. Maybe you had mistakened this game with the VGA remake of QFG
I?
Okay, I have to apologize; I was mistaken. I was under the impression this game had been remade once before in 1990, but that's not true. I was mixed up, sorry. But yes, the game I have downloaded, from the AGD website, is the original QFG2. I don't know why or how, but it is.
Then how large is it in file size? The original version is about 4,5 MB in size. The remake is about 200 MB.
(http://www.agdiforums.com/forum/images/avatars/moodpics/Nashblue.jpg)
The one I downloaded is around 85 megs. I got it right off the site. Did I miss something? It's running great.
That's odd. Did you happen to have the original version installed and clicked the wrong shortcut?
The installer is 85 MB, but the installed game is about 200 MB.
(http://www.agdiforums.com/forum/images/avatars/moodpics/Nashnorm.jpg)
Just downloaded it and it looks good. The only problem is that i'm using a laptop which means that i don't have a NumPad. Would it be possible to have a secondary setting for combat for people without a NumPad or will my only option be to manually redefine all the keys?
I'm afraid you'll have to redefine the keys yourself.

It sounds to me like you've got the right game but have the wrong idea about how it should look.
This is the original QFG2:

Could it be a case of a shortcut with the same name? And it's running your copy of the original QFG2 rather than the remake? I've had shortcuts that were installed for a certain program but they instead ran another program of the same or similar filename before. That was annoying. It's not possible that you'd have gotten the original game instead of the remake from AGDI.

I realize what you're saying here, and if you read my post then you already understand that I trained with Uhura until I could literally beat her effortlessly. Now in the original game, that level of skill placed you well ahead of most enemies (I could already beat them without using any tricks or spamming the attack beforehand, mind you), but in this game I find myself being consistently beaten, again, on the lowest setting. And on the lowest setting, I'm not sure about the daggers not being thrown in that mode, Erpy, because at the very bottom setting I had a brigand approach me at night in the Shapeir maze and repeat dagger me to death (throwing one about every second until it was obvious I had no chance). I understand that escape lets you run away, but honestly, I'm telling you as a player that I do not find it satisfying to have to run from everything until my skill is very high, particularly not after importing a character who beat goblins, ghosts and all sorts of things in the previous game. I don't honestly think the combat is well-balanced at this stage. At the bottom setting, for instance, I should be able to make short work of brigands and other initial enemies without much effort at all, and certainly without running away or gobbling multiple health pills. Ease of combat
is the point of an easy setting, or should be. The long, drawn out fights due to an uneven enemy health bar is one of the problems I see with the current design (or perhaps the relative combat damage), and I think reducing enemy health based on the difficulty slider setting (highest difficulty could remain at the current health level) would go a long way to making the combat more
satisfying. Like I said, I enjoy challenging games and would like to say I can enjoy your game on any of the difficulty settings.
I do not enjoy games that punish me for playing them.
I hope you'll take into consideration that I greatly enjoyed the original, had no issues with combat in it, and don't mind 'improvements' to the original design in the least. The combat in your version, however, is a mixed bag in my opinion. You don't have to take what I say under advisement, obviously, but it's here if you do.
Thanks for the replies.
Here's my take on the combat (At normal difficulty--I never changed the slider):
I imported my hybrid thief who had most skills maxed out at 100, or close to that. Initially, I could not beat any enemies, or I could barely beat a brigand. After every battle, I would have to rest and regain my health otherwise I could not fight again.
I thought the combat was way too hard until I took the tutorial in the Adventurer's Guild and then learned how to dodge appropriately and use my special moves. For me, the combo-moves changed the combat from too difficult to satisfyingly challenging. After that, all I needed to do was just build up my skills and I was finding myself taking on a pack of 5 or 6 jackals.
I'm currently on day 9-10, and I find the combat appropriately scaled. At the beginning it was hard, but now it's becoming easy, but I wouldn't say too easy. So, I can't complain, and I think AGDI did a good job.
QuoteI realize what you're saying here, and if you read my post then you already understand that I trained with Uhura until I could literally beat her effortlessly.
That doesn't always say much. Uhura has 3 sub-difficulties, based on your combat-relevant stats. At the beginning she goes easy on you so you have the opportunity to practice various skills without being immediately beaten into submission. If you can beat her variation where she blocks, counterattacks, strings attacks together, knocks you down if you're standing over her while she's getting up and uses her whirling spear attack, THEN you're ahead of a good deal of enemies.
QuoteAnd on the lowest setting, I'm not sure about the daggers not being thrown in that mode, Erpy, because at the very bottom setting I had a brigand approach me at night in the Shapeir maze and repeat dagger me to death (throwing one about every second until it was obvious I had no chance).
Ah, that's actually a hidden enemy who's meant to be more challenging than the brigands in the desert. He's part of a sidequest and a good deal more agressive and skilled than the normal enemies. Don't confuse him with an ordinary brigand.
QuoteI understand that escape lets you run away, but honestly, I'm telling you as a player that I do not find it satisfying to have to run from everything until my skill is very high, particularly not after importing a character who beat goblins, ghosts and all sorts of things in the previous game.
True, it's a big switchover between the maxed out hero in Spielburg, but as I said before with your current skillset, especially on easy, you should be able to handle normal brigands and jackalmen (lone or in sets of 2) just fine. The other monsters are probably a different story, but they'll get easier as you learn new techniques and get higher stats. If, with the stats you have, you were able to take on ghouls, terrorsauri or scorpions in the original game, then that was in my opinion the original game making it too easy to kill monsters.

The 3 difficulty levels in QFG2VGA already have different max hp values for each enemy. May I ask if you tried battling ordinary brigands and jackals in the desert with your current skills, on the lowest difficulty setting and with the co-pilot set to the configuration I suggested? If you merely based your conclusion on an encounter with a secret enemy meant to be tougher than the starting baddies, I wouldn't fault you, but it would make your statement inaccurate.

Okay... I guess I do have the AGD remake. I'm sorry for all the confusion. I just thought it would look different.
What did you expect it to look like? It's gorgeous.
What's up, AGS community? Long time no see. I guess it's been a few years, though I've been checking in from time to time.
So why am I here? Well, the remake of my favorite adventure game of all time has been released. More to the point, several years ago, I contributed some art touch ups to the project. I just wanted to say to the AGDI team, what you've done is incredible, a monumental project. And I'm thankful I had the opportunity to contribute to it. Seeing my name in the credits as the little flying carpet rose and dived over it was a real moment for me. It took me back to a very vivid memory of playing QfG2 when I was a kid.
Oh, and sorry I disappeared after a while. The dedication of those of you who stuck with this project over the years is truly admirable.
One more thing:

...shows the even newer and more-improved version of that screen. And I'm proud to say I was one of the people who helped beat that background into shape.
Cornjob!
Is Run Hot coming soon?
And good job on finally releasing this remake, Erpy and all. I shall give it a download.
And thanks for the assistence back in the day, Cornjob. I've been happy to see several former contributors coming out of the shadows to say hello and celebrate the game's release.

Esseb, I have bad news for you. Run Hot might be delayed. :)
Erpy, what's up man? Congratulations on completing this epic game.
Man! I've waited for the VGA version of the 2nd part soooo many years ::) It is just great. Looks just like the remake of the first one! THANKS! :=
Really enjoying it so far (i'm about half way through Shapier) but i have found a bug. I'm running the game with 640x400 resolution in a window and sometimes while i am wondering the streets the GUI disappears. I did manage to find a way to get it back though by hitting F5 and then cancel a few times.
And as for combat i am really enjoying the level of strategy involved. If i were to suggest a flaw with it though it would be that it takes a while to gain the level of skill necessary to to roam the desert (I am playing a standard Magic User and had to practice 5 times a day for 8 days [In game] before my skill levels were high enough to fight a Briggand). While i don't have a problem with this (It fits with the original game perfectly) i fear that many people might not have the patience to spend 3 hours training before they can go out and fight.
Hey, Cornjob! Good to hear from you again. :) Thanks for the comments, it's great to hear you found your way back for the release! In case anyone's curious, Cornjob created most of the in-game inventory item graphics (he has a real knack for cramping a lot of fine detail into a small amount of space), as well as working on several screen touch-ups, detailing some dialogue portraits, and all the dialogue and GUI borders in the game. A very worthy contributor whose artistic skills benefited the game for the better, I must say.
BlackDragon1200: That icon-bar turning off bug, is a known issue which occurs when you leave Aziza's house in the alleys. You can work around it by pressing F7 to turn on the Restore GUI and then press Escape (or click the Cancel button) to turn it off again. That will fix things and you will only need to do it once.
As for combat, you have 16 days to kill, so there's really plenty of time to train your combat skills to perfection and still have days to spare.
On the other hand, if you choose to play as a thief, you need not ever have to fight a single monster for the entire game. Fighters really DO have to fight in the remake, while the other classes have alternate measures to bypass monsters or make dealing with them easier. There's more of a distinction between classes in that respect...
I think there's a small inconsistency - how come I am not able to take the daggers a brigand has thrown at me, or those he carries with him?
Because that would basically allow you to get unlimited daggers (of 500 centimes a piece) for only 7 hitpoints per dagger. Besides, they're curved arabic daggers that the hero can't wield very well.
(http://www.agdiforums.com/forum/images/avatars/moodpics/Nashnorm.jpg)
Surely, I gathered as much, but still, it doesn't make much sense.
Anyway, that's too small a nitpick to mar the overall impression of the game, which can't be anything but superb. I'll put down my thoughts once I finish the game with all possible character types.
It makes as much sense as the hero continually needing food and water, but never needing an outhouse break. Sometimes you just have to stretch the suspense of disbelief a bit in order to keep things practical.

Well done, very cool!
(and there goes my spare time for the weekend :) )
Congratulations on completing this game, however I need to make this point. Just this is coming from someone who hasn't played the originals or the first remake.
I found the combat seriously difficult, having to restart my game a few times due not winning my first fight. I finally defeated my first bandit with the difficulty setting at the lowest, with 9 hit points remaining. And even still the rate of which my hit points were being lowered in this fight was unbelievable. I am unsure what the original was like combat wise but from my own experience of RPGs my first fight is usually very or reasonably easy, and I feel 9 hit points isn't either. I would be interested if anyone can defeat a bandit with the difficulty setting at Max with the starting out hit points.
Just thought I would let my feelings known when you have been discussing issues with the combat system. But to be honest this issue with the combat is rather off putting from me trying to complete the game.
I was not at all happy with the difficulty of combat to start with either. But after enough practice with Uhura and becoming comfortable with the keys I chose to use I got to where I could beat her in about 30 seconds. Combat eventually becomes much much easier.
I finished the game last night and had a wonderful time playing it. Thank you all again for the wonderful job you did and for sharing this freely with all of us.

Battle IS more difficult (but also a lot more involved) than in the original, where an imported hero could spam attacks and beat most monsters easily from the beginning. Using a fighter with starting stats (without using the additional 50 point pool) I was able to beat a brigand while losing like 20 to 30 hitpoints or so, using the right co-pilot settings and setting the difficulty to easy. My bare-stats mage was victorious too by taking advantage of his spells, although I suffered more punishment. My bare-stats thief didn't fare so well. I haven't tried it yet with normal or hard level. QFG2VGA, more than the original, forces the player to mind his defense rather than kill an enemy with rapid attacks before the enemy can inflict enough damage to kill the hero.
If you don't import your hero, you're at a disadvantage and you'll need to spend a little bit more time training your stats.
Finally, QFG2VGA makes bigger distinctions in character class than the original EGA game. Each class has its own unique way to deal with monsters and you can't just pretend a mage or a thief is a fighter without a sword/shield/chainmail. As he gains experience, the fighter gains additional combat techniques that allow him to gain the advantage in close range combat. The wizard or thief never gets really good in melee combat, even with high stats, but wizards gain upgradable spells that can do extreme damage with practice and thieves can go through a large part of the game without having to rely on monster loot for income and his skills allow him to avoid enemies or spot enemies before they spot him. Adapting one's playing style to the class is pretty important in the remake.
It's true that in many RPG's the first monster is easy, but most RPG's have whole hordes of different creatures while QFG2VGA only has 5 different random monsters. Being able to easily slay a brigand (who isn't even the weakest monster stat-wise, a jackalman is inferior to a brigand in just about every way) in a few shots with starting stats would only leave 60% of the creatures remaining as a challenge to trained players.

I believe it also once happened outside of WIT.
Okay... I finished the game as a thief, and here are my final impressions:
- Unlike most others, I found the combat great, and consistently challenging and satisfying. I already mentioned my previous thoughts earlier about the combat, so I'll keep this short. It adds an extra layer of depth to the game, and a whole element of strategy instead of the battles just being 'spam until you win' fests. I know it's hard at first, but I'd rather be it initially challenging and getting easier, than easy at the beginning and sleep-walk easy towards the end. Thumbs up!
- I feel like what needs to be said about the visual side of the game has already been said. It looks great, plays great, and the attention to detail is superb. Little things like the player only wielding one dagger instead of two during the end fight--if he lost a dagger during the battle--really add a lot to the atmosphere.
- Now... I do have one main complaint with the game which is not exclusive to the VGA remake. There's simply not enough stuff to do, or side-quests to undertake. In QFG1, I'd say there are about 10-15 unique locations in the forest, apart from the town and the castle. With QFG2, Shapier just about matches the town and the castle in Speilberg, but there are only a total of 3 unique locations in the desert, 4 if you count the "beast" puzzle revealed later. Even with that, I found myself getting bored. By the time I got to about day 8, I had most of my combat skills approaching 200, I bought most everything in the shops (many of which is just for decroation anyway), and I completed all the side-quests available to me at the time. After that, it felt like I was just killing time with every passing day.
- Shortly after that there was no point in going out and fighting, because I either had all my vital skills maxed out, or I already bought everything and any extra money would just weigh me down. I really wish there was more stuff you could do in the desert, or more things that you could buy in the shops. If there is nothing for me to work forward for, either in stats or money, there's no point in me trying to improve my character and gain more gold. One thing that I think might be interesting is battles in the maze of the city at night. Perhaps you could walk down a dead-end alley and have to fight off several thieves who try to mug you or something. Just anything to add more variation and elements to the game would be nice.
It's a very impressive remake, but in my opinion it's not as accessible and satisfying as the KQ2 remake. It's still an amazing accomplishment, and it's very well done.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure how thoroughly you played the remake, but if you went through it based only on your pre-existing knowledge of the original EGA version, chances are you probably missed quite a few side-quests which were added into the game. Since they could be considered non-canonical events, however, we took measures to ensure that they wouldn't stand out like a sore thumb, meaning that you'll need to do a little exploring to uncover them. But rest assured, they're in there.
QuotePerhaps you could walk down a dead-end alley and have to fight off several thieves who try to mug you or something.
Funny you should mention that actually... ;D
Yep, I got kind of bored so I browsed the AGDI forums for some extra side-quest information (I don't think I would've found the new stuff otherwise. I'm not a very clever person).
Here are the side-quests I completed:
Spoiler
Dervish Beard + Potion Components -- if those even count as side-quests
Plant lady (far right desert)
Beast in Cage
3 Shapier Thieves Guild missions + Rasier Mission
WIT initiation
Diary of the warrior (or whatever it was called)
Pizza elemental - I found it, but after trying to beat it, I gave up deciding it wasn't worth the effort! ;D
I think that's all of the ones that I did. I probably missed at least a couple.
Any way you guys can add the hero costume from QFG1,3,4 (the white brown shirt, green pants and red cape
in your remake for version 2?
SierraFan: Unfortunately not. This decision was voted on in a public poll very early in the pre-production stages. There are a crazy amount of Hero sprites in the game so making alternate versions of them all would be no small feat! Plus, the winter attire and cape from QFG1 isn't well-suited to the hot desert setting of the second game.
At any rate, version 1.1 of the Quest for Glory II Remake has now been released and is available from www.AGDInteractive.com
In addition to many bug-fixes, the new build also makes monsters slightly slower to react on 'easy' difficulty level, as well as adding a random 1-point damage bonus to player attacks on 'easy'. Additionally, the thief now has the ability to rapidly toss daggers during battle, like the Brigand can. (Note: This ability is thief-only.)
Finally, for anyone who's interested in participating, we currently have an art contest running. Feel free to enter. Prizes include copies of the original QFG2, QFG2 Anthology, limited edition QFG2 posters and prints, as well as a bunch of other stuff. Odds are pretty high that entrants will win something, so submit your entries today. You can read more about the Art Contest and the prizes here:

Who gave this game a 4 cups rating? :o Anyone in the Panel has an idea about the insane amount of work this game's backgrounds, animations, coding and testing required? On several Top X list of best adventure games ever, the original game often competed and managed to beat some of the best games LucasArts made, the Panel says the remake is an improvement on the original game in many aspects and it only achieve a 4 cups score?! Man, I am seriously questionning the credibility and usefulness of the Panel rating.
Haha, it's quite possibly the same panel member who gave "A tale of two kingdoms" 4 stars.
I'm not sure why taking a lot of work is a reason for a game to automatically get 5 cups. Take many Kevin Costner movies, for example...
The AGDs themselves have admitted that the game is much better if you've played the original QFG and that's quite hard to get hold of legitimately and so I imagine that could be a reason its marked down. Personally, I found ATOTK much easier to get in to than QFG2VGA.

I don't think the Blue Cups rate the effort that went into a project, only the game that came out. So the amount of work QFG2VGA required is irrelevant.
QFG2 is highly regarded, but it also has a number of widely criticized issues, like pacing problems, a beginning that is almost directionless and makes it easy to become lost right away, and (speaking of lost) huge mazes. The remake also features punishingly difficult combat (when even the Coles can't survive their first fight, it's silly to keep arguing that the combat system is well balanced), and the graphics are decent but not outstanding.
The game is an amazing achievement and deserves a high rating, but there are good arguments for not giving it the very highest score.
Also, none of the developers themselves have taken issue with the rating (that I can see), so why should anyone else? If they feel they're being dealt with unfairly then they are more than welcome to bring it up, but seriously, if the author of the game has no issue with the rating then neither should you. End of story.
The new version has removed most of my issues with the combat so well done!

Oh arse, and I'd just downloaded 1.1 too! Oh well, shall check out this new version anyway.
You do great work.
All your screenshots are bust dude! Can you get em back online - I wanna see what I'm about to download. ;)
Sparky.
