Title: King's Quest II redux (the one by AGD) - Can the dwarf steal stuff from you?
Post by: Monsieur OUXX on Mon 28/02/2011 12:40:51
I wonder if the Dawrf ever steals stuff from you in that version -- just so that I avoid being stressed everytime I see him appear, and worry about not being able to finish the game because I'm missing an object.

If only you were invisible...
Examine all items in your inventory

Are you sure you mean King's Quest II? Not King's Quest I?
Anyway that's not my question.
So your answer would be: "YES, in the AGD version of that game, the Dwarf can actually steal stuff from you"? Is that picked randomly? Does it prevent you from finishing the game?

In KQ2+, the dwarf can steal stuff from you, but you can get it back later and he never steals something you need to proceed.

Thank you, Erpy and Khris.
I've noticed he only steals the object below from me :

ear rings

So far I haven't discovered how to get them back, but, knowing AGDi methods, I was suspecting it was possible.

Damnit! I've spent all evening trying to understand

why the flying carpet disappears after you fly back to the mountains. I was 100% sure there would be a flying horse (being accustomed to Point n Clicks plot twists), and I was almost sure I had to turn the snake back by disenchanting it with the emerald.

I've tried, and tried... With no luck. I thought it was a bug

(I thought some bugged script failed to detect my progression and failing to spawn the horse)
AND NOW I READ IN THE WALKTHROUGH THAT YOU HAVE TO USE THE EMERALD ON THE SNAKE. So I guess you can do it only from one side of the snake. Aaaargh.

That kind of trick makes me go berserk.
Having said that, great game!
