Chapter 11 Page 3 - About a Tree?

Evil Emperor Nick on Oct. 25, 2010

Urg. I'm siiiiiiiiiick today. X_X

Anyway I saw from the commentary people asking about the sword. For this interested I simply asked for a creepy organic sword and threw out Nightmare from Soul Caliber as an example but felt any details to Sarah's imagination. Any similarities to CoH I think are strickly coincidental.

As for Revenka being like Flagoon a magic tree from slayers I'd have to say I was more inspired by the magic staff in town from Quest for Glory III. I played Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness a lot as kid and really enjoyed it despite my copy being unwinable due to a bug I didn't have the patch for. It is a shame because from all account Quest for Glory III was probably one of the lesser games in the series but regardless I really, really enjoyed and it was very influential on me as a child as was the first game to hit me with a lot of populat tropes so everything seemed highly imaginative and creative to me when I was playing it blissfully unaware that some if not most of the elements such as the H.P. Lovecraft style cult in the game were old hat.

What exactly is included in the "immortal until you get killed" package deal? How does it compare to standard insurance rates?

I agree with The Tim. Visuals would've been a help, and I did have to read it twice, but I think it's nice to see our favorite paternally vengeful heroine... There's more personality.

I'm not sure if this was just a really long lead up to a punchline or something very important, but I had to read those panels 5 times before I got what was going on. Really could have used some visual aids there!

Hope you're feeling better Nick.

Which ever one was Shadows of Darkness *wikis* Hmm you are right that is #4. Sorry its been a loooong time since I played it.

Oh hey, reread the commentary, I think you meant Quest for Glory IV. That was the one with Erana's Staff and the Dark One Cult. QFG III had the giant magic tree in the forest.

the1truesushiboy : I don't blame you at all. Andore Mordre: Hmmm I never played World of Mana. At least you didn't say FFIX and the Lifa Tree. I hated that guy and all his aether mist or whatever was going on with that.

Andore Mordre at 8:07AM, Oct. 26, 2010

Huh. Despite the fact that for me, Quest for Glory is simply the greatest video game series of all time, my first thought when I saw a magic tree was World of Mana. (I'm actually in the middle of replaying QFG for the millionth time now and about to start the third)

Damn Nazis.

*sword Curse my grammar Nazi-ism...

Pffffff... suicide... heh. And this backstory is quite intriguing... I WANT MORE! But, of course, I want more of the main story too... goodness, I'm greedy. But can you blame me? CQ is awesome! Also, I totally called it with the soul calibur swor, though I suppose that's not much of a feat... And one more thing... FIRST! (For the first time ever!)
