Wow you actually got it. I know I saw it for the first time on my last play through a couple months ago. I actually thought it was kinda out of place but hey thats what easter eggs are, right?

Cool

Aw, man, I've been trying to get that screen

By the by, has anyone else found Arne the Aardvark (Earth Pig)? I feel like he's a reference from something else, but I have no idea what. I've only ever seen him when camping out on the first day (you gotta have a fire though, and I think you need to make camp before midnight. Not sure if you gotta do the meerbat thing first).

Also, is it just me, or is this version pretty buggy? I thought you ALWAYS had to get initiated into the Simbani to buy your wife, but I'm playing as a wizard, so I guess I don't hafta? Thing is, I think I remember playing as a wizard before, and I did the whole initiation thing... Weird.

Oh, and I got Manu comin' after me and inviting me to the monkey village when I never saved him from the cage.
"Who are you and why are you calling me man-friend?!!?!?! And for that matter...why are you the only monkey that can TALK!?!?! O_O"

Anyways... seems kinda jerky/laggy in Dosbox (I can play it without Dosbox, but battles are really funky, I can barely move my mouse). Are there any specific changes I should make to Dosbox's settings to make it run a little smoother?

Thanks, anybody.

Three is very different from the other games in the series, but I still enjoy it. The game can be buggy, and I think it was no where near finsihed when released but it's still fun to play, though I do find it to be very easy in the combat phases.

Besides that I am replaying this with an imported character from QFG1. I cheated a little and made him a Paladin, even though I did not play QFG2, but if I had I would have become a Paladin anyway so it's okay. :thumbs:

Three is nowhere next to the other series, you can never understand understamd this before you can understand 5-1-2-4

I am not sure what point you are trying to get across here. I know the story pretty well, the only game I havn't finsihed more then once is GFQ4, not counting 5, mainly because I can't get a copy of it.

I had the earth pig in almost all my playing, so I don't know if there is some prerequisites for it or not. The only thing I know for sure is that you must be alone and in the savanna.

QFG3 was always quite buggy In fact, I always got problems when trying some unexpected things (like my thief/mage "fetching" the drum of magic, because my sneak sucked ) or even when doing things like it was supposed to be (like, running in the Simbani initiation ). But they are playable, maybe some messing with the details and the speed sliders help.

And, as far as I remember, the mage doesn't do the simbani initiation. Mainly, because he lacks the skills necessary for some (if not most) of the trials! Like throwing, for example

And the Manu thing never happened to me, so I don't know.

And yes, I think it is the QFG that I liked less, although I think that 5 is worse. Although I only played it once. But V is really different from the others in gameplay, it almost doesn't have the adventure part of the game, most of the quest are finished by killing them all But yes, 3 is not the best by far. IT is far too serious and the poor thief only has two moments to really shine East Fricana is no place for thieves

I just checked out a version from an old Anthology collection. Compared to this, it seems that this version is missing some sound files. For example, there should be a guitar riff whenever you smoke some pipe at the apothecary.

Can anyone confirm this?
