Telltale Games

Murray and Stan are already shoe-ins, so I went for Wally. However I do really want to see the Men of Low Moral Fiber back; can't stress that enough. They were my favorite characters in the first part of LeChuck's Revenge and Secret; possibly all of Revenge actually.

I mean just look at what retirement has done to them! Okay they're the same as before, but that's why we love them right? Okay I love them, but honestly, those were some great characters Lucasarts shoved into the closet there.

Murray and Stan will be in the game - beyond that the only character the series really should revisit is Largo. He was very compelling and he's such a loose end.

Men of Low Morale Fiber would be good too actually but I wouldn't be heartbroken if they weren't in it.

I want to see Murray, The barbers (particularly Haggis lol), Stan, and the cannibals.

I would like to see Largo and the Men Of Low Moral Fibre (Hereby known as MOLMF :P) and all the rest, they're great characters. I don't know if I want to see that doctor again, his makeup makes me feel a bit ill!

Murray

MUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! !!!!

He was always so awesome.

It's not certain that Murray will be in Chapter 2 - around this time last month voices were being recorded for Chapter 2, so it's more likely that he's recording for Chapter 3 unless they're now adding more stuff into Chapter 2 (such as Murray) that needs voices. Time will tell.

Wally, but I'd also like to see Carla, the barber pirates, Otis, Meathook and Stan again.

Flip86 · 07/15/2009, 03:10 pm

Murray, my favorite demonic skull.

tmesis · 07/15/2009, 03:11 pm

I wanna see the shop keeper who was macking on Carla.

I already said Kate Capsize, but I want to elaborate.

I don't want her to be the mysterious voice. I don't think that would work well, and it almost certainly isn't anyway.

I want any return characters to be really in-place where they are. That means that people like a shopkeeper on Melee Island, or a barkeep, or somebody like that, is absolutely pointless on a new island on a new story.
That said, I can see characters such as Stan, Murray and the Voodoo Lady in any new game because they're traditionally drifters with no home-location per-se. Kate Capsize works here for me, too, because she wants revenge and there's a bad lack of female characters in Monkey Island. She has a motivation to have moved, whereas other characters would have to have motivations invented especially for moving them, which seems too contrived. I'm enjoying seeing new guys like Nipperkin, Winslow, etc. Even if the portrayal of them in the ToMI artwork-style isn't great for making them memorable (i'd love to see some of the concept art). The pirates of low moral fiber are the perfect throwaway for an empty-looking street corner (that's effectively what they were in MI1 and MI2) and are effectively drifters, so they would compliment the new cast.

Largo, for me, had his day. I don't want to see him until LA have done their take on him, because I would feel safer having LA cast voices etc. due to their larger budget. Largo could work in a few instances, but he's really a small-boss to the big-boss LeChuck and therefore I feel he was a superb character in MI2, and one of the differences making it the best MI ever, but not particularly a stand-out character if you take him out of his original environment.

Just my personal view on it.

BOB! I always loved Bob and never could bring myself to spray him with rootbeer... he's just so... adorable. It makes me sad that he's never reappeared because damnit, he's cool!

Failing that, Men of Low Moral fibre could be amusing for old times sake.
