Yeah, I even went back to the crazy cat lady and got some nice xp for finding Loki. It was pretty cool.

Be sure to check the tree trunks on the way out of town.

^What is that?

Looks like The Mummy Demastered.

 

[Astral Rag]

True dat. Have been enjoying the game so far. That spider is the first boss. The game isn't super challenging but that may still change.


Faux retro graphics done right IMO and the soundtrack is great too.

Fun fact: Because most walkthroughs for Monkey Island list the Three Trials in the order of "Swordfighter > Treasure Hunt > Idol Thievery", most players will miss out on an awesome scene.

Every time Guybrush steps on the bridge next to the SCUMM bar, the game checks to see if the Three Trials are complete. If they are, we see the cutscene where LeChuck's ship sails off with Elaine. However, if you do the Three Trials so that stealing the Idol comes first or second, an extra scene is played on the bridge where Elaine comes to rescue Guybrush from drowning. However, if the player stole the Idol last, the "Bridge Check > GoTo LeChuck" scene overrides this one.

Fortunately the scene can be seen below:



(I only personally discovered this two weeks ago.)

Saw it in my first play through, since I did the thievery trial first!

It's very hard to keep playing this game because there's so much slowdown. The other IE games are smooth because they have OpenGL support, but running IWD2 on software, DirectDraw is insufferable on today's machines, even with alternate wrappers. It's simply too sluggish, and large battles are a chore. What a pity, I was liking the game quite a bit but I don't think I'll manage to finish it at all. I fired up BG2 with all my mods and it's baby smooth compared to this and looks a lot better in terms of spell effects and fog of war.

Wait for Enhanced Edition

Saw this on my first playthrough (special edition), definitely a highlight. I actually prefer this version. I do wonder what it was like growing up when these games didn't have voice acting. Pretty neat that the special editions give you the option to play it as it was first released.

What I've been up to: (trying to avoid hints)

 

[Great Deceiver]

Man, please turn that filter off. It absolutely destroys the art.

 

[Citizen]

Man, please turn that filter off. It absolutely destroys the art.

This is not a filter. Thats how the enhanced edition of DotT looks like.

 

[Siveon]

Man, please turn that filter off. It absolutely destroys the art.

I'm fairly certain you can turn it off either way.

Fail...none of my shit loaded.

Day of the Tentacle, original chunky style. Making good progress, Laverne unlocked!

fuck cats

what's got me completely stumped is Ben Franklin and the fucking kite. I can see there's a pocket that I should be able to interact with but Hoagie just drops the damn thing.
