It has already been said Murray would appear in a future chapter of Tales...

As far as I'm concerned, I'm getting a bit sick of all these threads about Murray and Stan... While I like them, I think they are overrated. I'd rather see a comeback from other characters. There are plenty of great characters in Monkey Island who deserve to reappear in a future game:
Captain Smirk.
Largo LaGrande.
Kate Capsize.
The Voodoo Priest.
Wally.
Captain Rottingham.
King André....

Just to name a few...
But fans only want STAN!!! and MURRAY!!! so I guess we'll only have the two of them over and over again...

I don't want to bore you with a long conversation, yet. LOL

Don't you think Wally is a growing up a little too much and getting a little too old to be Wally anymore? By now, Monkey Island 6,7...Wally is really getting on in years and he's mentally and physically changed as a person, most likely. He should be considerably older and more distant from his original visual presence in MI-2. I don't know how well his character would balance out either.

The rest I'll leave aside for later because there all different and to make an extensive post about this right now wouldn't be wise.

I always thought of him as a child-like adult so I see no real reason why he couldn't be exactly the same.

I'd love to see largo back on the scene, think they could do some really funny stuff with him around again, some "men of low moral fibre" wouldn't go a miss too.

This sums up about exactly my thoughts on this subject.
I'm in no way "AGAINST" anyone's return, especially murray's, but i still voted no cause i'm also getting sick of reading so many people begging for it.
No single character (except the few MAIN ones - Guybrush, Elaine, Lechuck) SHOULD return, especially if it's just to have them in there somewhere without any reason for it.
Minor characters, as great as they can be, are still minor... Overusing them rarely does any good...
I don't know about anyone else, but i hated R2D2 and C3PO in the new star wars movies. They were absolutely not needed and their presence didn't even make sense. I hated the whole "bobba fett's origins" even more. Those exemples are exactly the kind of crap that can happen when you start assuming than an old character SHOULD return...

Don't think Murray is that important so that he should return to the game. Is rather an annoying character. I prefer if TellTale leave him out of the game...

What about characters Telltale have gave us, our beloved first mate, Morgan LeFlay, the Marquee, all quality characters. Murray'd be nice and all but my main interest is in all these characters

Denny Delk, his voice actor, has revealed that he's indeed in the game. Fear not though... Try showing the Morgan LeFlay flyer to the voodoo lady in chapter 1. It seems to me like Murray's playing a purty big role.

And I agree that some of these new characters are really interesting, namely Winslow, Morgan and de Singe. Didn't get that fond of any character from Escape.

I actually really do think that Stan needs to be back in some form, since it's become something of a Monkey Island tradition to have him around. Apart from "the big three" (Guybrush, Elaine, LeChuck) Stan has been one of the minor character's who has been in every game (alongside the Voodoo Lady and Herman Toothrot) so I think that he should absolutely return.

I would like to see the Men of Low Moral Fiber, but they'd really need to be used well!

Murray was confirmed to be in TMI a long time ago. I boggles the mind why everybody still talks like he may or may not be in it. I'm expecting him in the next episode if not the next next one.

I agree MusicallyInspired. Why anyone is in doubt of Murray's return really does boggle the mind!

Dominic Armato confirmed this again in my recent mini-interview with him here:
http://alternativemagazineonline.co....-armato-think/

I think Murray should be in the next one for sure, they have been building up to it for quite a while!

it has already been said that Murray will definately return.. though which chapter it will be remains a mystery. I am guessing that he will return for chapter 4 (the trial and execution of Guybrush Threepwood) but that is purely a guess.

I have a feeling he's ended up in a peculiar situation, like, for instance, getting swallowed by a giant manatee.

At the same time, I think Stan's gonna open a store on Flotsam now that the island has a reputation of letting customers AWAY from it. (Though that's just a mild guess... my guts tell me only one thing; he might use the tall and skinny base model : S )

Just my two cents.
