In other notes about this game series so far:

- This probably has my favorite puzzle design of most of the Sierra games. They make sense, but they're not so simple they're gimmes.
- The second game especially has some interesting puzzle design.
-I LOVE the research puzzles, they're hella fun.
-I want a remake where #GabrielKnight is canonically bi-curious.

I'm also playing this game at a point where there's kind of a smorgasbord of voice actors playing all the main parts. Like Tim Curry, Leah Remini, and Mark Hammil all voiced the OG #GabrielKnight, but they hired soundalikes for the remake.

Then you have the FMV actors in the second game (who, as previously stated, aren't bad).

And then the third is the weird 3rd-person-perspective "we need to make 3D games for the sake of making them" game that I played years ago but never beat.

I played the 20th Anniversary remake of the first #GabrielKnight game and it was pretty dang good. There are parts of the game that don't age super gracefully, even with the benefit of the remake (GK is a giant horndog, like Leisure Suit Larry levels of horny) but the main plot isn't one of them.

I also forgot how rooted these early Sierra adventure games can be in history. Like I literally learned things (hopefully not entirely untrue) playing this game.

Translation for the curious: "pure as glass" in the original poem has been changed to "strong as steel", and "pure as fire" is now "bright as fire".

Random thought (AKA fun with picture editing): what if the Gabriel Knight 1 portal poem actually rhymed in German?

#sierra #gabrielknight #adventuregames

An altered screenshot of Gabriel Knight 1, showing Gabriel reading the inscription over the door to the library in Schloss Ritter. It reads:
„Nur der Reinste darf passieren,
Dessen Herz ist stark wie Stahl,
Dessen Seele licht wie Feuer,
Schreitet höher durchs Portal.“

Oh, I forgot to tell!

Thanks to my friend I had the pleasure and fun to play Gabriel Knight with, I became a Schattenjäger! 🥳🙌

Not only is it a masterpiece, but I also learned a lot about "Nawlins" thanks to my friend! 😎

The narrator reminds me of my Puerto Rican great-aunt! 😊

Drei Drachen kriechen in meinen Schlaf
Die Seele woll'n sie lebendig zum Fraß
Feurigen Atems, gespaltener Zunge
Genießen sie jedes Mahl

I finally started playing Gabriel Knight for the first time!

I love the way how Tim Curry (Gabriel Knight) reads this German poetry! 🐲🐲🐲

Had some fun mocking up some fake dialogue for Gabriel Knight 1. See if you can spot which one of these screenshots is fake. ;)

A "screenshot" of Gabriel Knight 1, with Wolfgang Ritter reading the carvings on the table inside an African snake mound. Wolfgang is saying "It is like a man with golden skin, whose head and arms unite to form a single shining eye.... and below it is carved the idol's name: 'LucasArts.'"

Half of the riddles are solved, half of the game is almost done ...
