Telltale Games

What I want to share is not exactly a quote ...
I'm new comer to the series and I'm playing the original version of KQ1 for now, and what's stuck in my mind for the small time I played the game is not a quote, but a sound effect, the one that you hear after dying:
"Dun, dun, da dun, dan duh dun dah dun dah da.. Di di din du did dun! Din!"

I just *love* how serious it begins and then transforms into a loony tunes like goofy music!

philthethrill · 03/10/2011, 10:35 pm

I can't remember the exact quote but it had something to do with a Graham cracker. I thought that was a good one from King's Quest I. "Looks like you had a bad fall this spring" from King's Quest I from AGD Interactive was funny too. There are a few death messages from King's Quest VI that I remember. "Don't just wander, Alexander. Let your conscience be your guide." "Genie, meenie, miney mo. Alexander can't be slow." "Feeling hot and sweaty? Try a shower."

"You have slipped down the muddy bank and lodged in the river's bed. Good knight."

Reminds me of climbing up the steps on the cliff in KQ6. Dun-dun...dun-dun...dun-dun-dun-dun...dun-DUN..."WHOA...wait a minute!"

This out of place death message should become a meme.
I also remember 'well well well, water you going to do now?'
In King's Quest II+, when you try to push the witch to the cauldron: 'Did you really think this would work a second time?' and when you enter the cave while there is a trap: 'You saw black glow, you did not slow. Turned not away, you've had your day.
Also, almost anything said by the dwarf in KQII+. 'Yess, how kind of you to recognise me!' 'I went a little hungrry last night. But I'm willing to fergive!' 'What? Yeh fool!'
And in the end of the game, after Caldaur says something nice about Graham - Dwarf: 'Hmmpf.' Librarian: 'Shhhh!'

If you get too close to a mound of ants in KQ5...

Cedric: Hoo, is that a new dance, Graham? The bug-a-looooo?

newatgames · 03/11/2011, 12:24 pm

I liked some of the graveyard epitaphs in KQ7, I know it probably sounds morbid, but my favorite was, "The Sorrowful Marjory Pratt liked to wail on the cliffs with her cat, one night such a pity, she tripped on her kitty and fell off the cliff with a splat."

I love a lot of the dialogue from Mask of Eternity (quoted by at least G.Byrne on this forum). Makes me smile.

"Whence came this foul tempest?" indeed.

I liked the video from the start, but it totally won when it showed Snake Man, Quest for Glory 3, and Solid Snake.

one question: If the voice acting in KQ5 was so horrible as everyone seems to state why are there so many great KQ5-quotes in this thread? (I have given the answer to myself in the KQ6 overrated thread already but I just want to know what you think)

Sarendor · 03/12/2011, 10:54 am

Well, yes, they are memorable once you manage to understand the voices, but there were also many silly lines in there which people remember, such as the quote I posted before and highly recommend you to watch.

by the way:

if you add

to your link....

this happens.

Thanks! Updated it.

Lamp peddler in KQ6-"Old lamps for new! Old lamps....for new."

My dad still quotes that line mainly because I played KQ6 so much. lol

Another favorite is the riddle given by the underworld gate in KQ6

"My first is foremost legally, my second circles outwardly, my third leads all in victory, my fourth twice ends a nominee, my whole is this gate's only key."

Narrator after Alexander gets put in the cage on the isle of the mist with enchanted lamp-"Something's really percolating!"

Because dialogue writing and voice acting are two completely different things, perhaps?

Anyway, I have many, many quotes from the series I love dearly, but the two I quote more than any are KQ4's "The skeleton of an unfortunate man (Let's call him James)...", and of course, KQ6's "Ye Gads! Is that cold!"

It's fun in a campy way. Cedric's voice actor is terrible, but it's just so ridiculous that it's hilarious in retrospect. Same with Graham, etc.

What's really hilarious is that Richard Aronson also voiced Count Caldaur, a far more serious and impressive role, in AGDI's version of KQ2...plus Cedric once again in a humorous little easter egg cameo.

Any time in KQ7 when had Valanice look at something and all she did was say "Hmmm...." Also some of those death messages coming from Captain Obvious "I hate that Gargoyle, maybe next time I should stay away from it...."
