Let's Play Quest for Glory 1 (Full Playthrough)

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Thanks for all of the views over the years folks!

My Chemistry lab partner worked at a computer store and gave me a bootleg copy of this game. I was in LOVE. With the game of course, but the lab partner too. 😂 I got stuck on the three stooges brigands party and he came over after school to help me get through it. We ended up going out. It’s been 27 years & we love watching play throughs of the game that brought us together.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

That's a fantastic story, Yuna. Congrats!

[@SebuhHonarchian]

First game I really fell in love with as a kid on PC. Erasmus minigame was super fun.

[@user-ri4rl2md7y]

This game makes me feel all comfy. Older games are such gems.

[@geoffreyblackmer]

Extremely enjoyable. The nostalgia is profound. My first Sierra point & click RPG. 💖

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Excellent one to start with. Might have been the same for me.

[@kanz0bgz]

I explored every pixel of this game over several years of my youth only to finally beat it. Funny to see the whole thing done in under two hours on youtube.

[@josephlai99]

30 years ago.... I do love this game when I am a child :)

[@DemoboyOot]

To max lock picking in the first few days, during the first night, spam lock pick on the healer's door. It's will never open, and you can't get caught. Once you get over 50 or so, the chance of dying from picking your nose is fairly low, so switch to that.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Excellent tip!

[@DemoboyOot]

@@LetsPlayWithBrigands i never knew you could steal potions from the healer. thanks for that one.

[@indomitus]

I don't comment on videos, but seeing as this was 1:43 long, and you only have 64 views - thanks for doing this and letting me relive a little bit of childhood!

[@krisztianunpronounceable]

My favourite game of all time! I had Hero's Quest on 3.5" floppies in "90!

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Nice, the ORIGINAL original.

[@badmunkey666]

Even when the tavern is closed you can pick the lock and enter with no problem.

[@badmunkey666]

At least in the VGA remake...I'm not sure about the original.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha just saw this, but does the tavern even ever close?

[@RealCaptainJaws]

Modern games feel like they're getting away from me a bit, so I've taken a breather and have been replaying all the Sierra games. Just downloaded most of the LucasArts collection, too! Gotta say, your playthroughs are a great watch and I love the commentary. Great speaking voice! Keep up the great content!

[@elizabethbell5889]

Omg, This was my first pc game I played in the 90’s. Started with big floppy disks but then played using hard disks, having to insert disk 1, 2 etc. I actually still have all the hard disks…was computer DOS at that time before windows.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha yep. Thankfully my brother set up a front end setup in DOS for me so I just had to press a number for the game I wanted to play like this.

[@HITMANPegas]

I remember telling poor Yorick that I had the dispel potion to save Elsa and he left to get everything ready to escape.

[@corbin_4738]

I love this game and series. Played it as a Thief myself. It was great. So creative

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Very true. What kid didn't want to live out their thieving fantasy if given the opportunity?

[@timvaine260]

Just stumbled across this. Amazing that you can beat the game in under 2 hours. I figured out you could be a fighter and get some stats on magic usage and stealth and basically be all 3 characters at the same time. You can still do all the thief work along with the majority of the spells. I suppose you didn't go after any panthers at night to get their claws, or kill Fred and get his beard, which you can sell to the healer. You can also build up your magic stats to win Erasmus' game which is REALLY hard. And you can build up your fighting stats to beat the sword trainer in the castle grounds. That'll get you 500 points, but is a lot longer way of playing the game. Great effort!

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Yeah I always did the Erasmus game as a kid. I'm planning on doing a Wizard playthrough of the series next year; I'll definitely be beating his game then. I did happen to do a Fighter/Paladin LP of the series a few months ago that's on the channel and I did defeat the sword trainer in that one.

[@brucemillis7111]

Haha, I never noticed the three stooges brigands in the dining hall. Very nice.

[@RosiesArcade]

You know, when I used to play the original version as a kid, there was a point, if you won several times in a row and bet a lot of money, the chief thief would say, 'Oh, a wise guy, eh?' And then the next game you'd play, he would totally crush you hitting the target almost every single time.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

I remember him saying that but I never noticed he got better after that, good call!

[@joshuajgrillot]

I have so many fond memories of playing this series. I remember when I first picked this game off the rack of an electronics boutique in the mall and seeing the awesome graphics(at the time). I was hooked. It left a impression on Me and still to this day, I'll play through it again and still get the same satisfaction as the first time I played.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha EB, I remember them. Ever heard of Babbages? Another video games store from back in the day. But for my money it's arguably my favorite series of games of all time, so many memories.

[@joshuajgrillot]

Oh Yea, i remember Babbages as well. They always had one in the same mall usually, I would go there if EB didn't have anything I wanted. The QFG series is also My favorite, I was 13 when I picked up the VGA version of QFG1 and I was hooked on the rest. It is equal to reading a great book or visiting old friends, to me any way.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

joshua grillot Completely agree with the comparison; fantastic games don't get the respect they deserve.

[@Clutchdoctor93]

My all time favorite game! I played it first when it was Hero's Quest before they renamed the franchise. Haven't finished the vga version myself, I always start it and then go back to the original. Anyway, couple of tricks I didn't notice you using and they may only work in the original. When you're choosing your points for stats you can "trick" the system by using the plus key and then using the left and right keys. It'll allow you to use single points instead of 5 at a time which means you can assign at least 1 point to all stats. It allows you to be a magic using thief that can fight! Also, outside of the healers house you can type "pick up rocks" and do this until you've picked up several hundred rocks or maybe even 1000 or so, can't remember and then the amount of weight you're carrying will go negative allowing you to walk/run at full speed all the time and not lose energy or stamina. If you already knew then hopefully another QFG fan learned something new, keep up the fun videos, I've been enjoying them!

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Wow I'll have to try that point trick if I remember next time I try the EGA, that's pretty good. Thanks for the kind words, as well, Clutch!

[@Clutchdoctor93]

@@LetsPlayWithBrigands sure thing! If I remember correctly you hit plus twice which will give you 6 points and then hit the left arrow which will take it down to 1. Then you can adjust from there with the arrow keys. It's been a while so I could be mixing up the steps but give it a try. Take care

+TheRealGunfish I just played 4 and put it up on the channel this past week. I think I agree with you but I have a bear of a time trying to decide which is my favorite (as I mention early in the video).

[@generalzod8400]

+Let's Play With Brigands So they just stole Sierras king quest back in the day. Let's be honest this is not Kings Quest by any means.

[@TheRealGunfish]

What do you mean, Zod? Quest for Glory and King's quest are from the same developer...

[@ThePreciseClimber]

+TheRealGunfish I've heard people don't like QfG5 all that much. Apparently it's as disappointing as Ultima IX and King's Quest VIII (or so I've heard).

[@TheRealGunfish]

it strayed visually and in design from the first 4. I don't think 5 was as bad as Ultima 9 or KQ 8 I've played all of those.. and KQ8 is probably the biggest divergence from the source.. a part of the reason is that 3d was new and everyone wanted to try it out, but it was still very clunky. hard to navigate, designers didnt really grasp playing in a 3d world yet..

[@tracys169]

I like that, despite focusing on the Germanic folklore, the game still does some world-building by teasing other countries. It even includes some exotic foreigners here and there.

+ThePreciseClimber Yeah it's such a wonderfully transformative adventurer's atmosphere it creates for itself.

[@janestill2588]

I love this game!!!!

[@lostn65]

What are your end game stats? Didn't think you could do it in 1:44. But I did a lot of grinding to get 100 in everything. I think it took me 30 hours each run.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

I guess I clicked through that but yeah they weren't anything special. I used to grind to get max stats as a kid, as well. 1 was much easier to max stats if I recall as opposed to some of the later games where you could make it a point to sneak literally everywhere and still not come close to max.

[@lulilith6]

I started playing this game again and guess what. I stole the healers potions not only once but twice and one I go back to her she doesn’t let me in anymore. I have so much progress going. 😢

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Yeah she's a good sport the first time. Not so much the second.

[@clintridgley743]

Dude this was awesome! Just bought the collection again the other day looking forward to playing again. Cheers for sharing! Side note - There is a code to get full stats, gold etc for this game too (not sure about the remake though) but you type razzle dazzle root beer and then different keys for different stats etc. Just thought you might like to know. Cheers again!

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha nice. Didn't know that. I did the stat cheat in my QFG2 video and people blasted me, but good to know nonetheless, ha.

[@Mythraen]

TIL: Max bet at Dag-Nab-It is 51, not 50. What I don't get about Crusher is that he follows you into the thieves guild. Presumably, this means anyone else can just hop right on down while you're visiting. Meanwhile... what do the butcher and baker think of all those goings-on across the room?

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha true, an arbitrary number but might as well get every penny per round you can. I also like the idea of drunken businessmen from out of town stumbling down into the thieves guild looking for the bathroom while Crusher's not bouncing the door.

[@Siege513]

In the EGA Version Chief straight hustles you. The more money you bet, the better he plays at dag nab it. If you bet 50 silver expect he will get straight bullseyes every throw. I played this game as a kid and did everything up to a point. I could not figure out how to get green fur from the meep. I mastered everything else, 100 points in all skills but could not progress the story. I felt like an idiot when I asked my friend about it some time later and he said, "Jut ask him for it." This and QFG2 were my favorites games as a child. I would pay serious money for someone to remake 3, 4, and 5 into EGA versions... I didn't like 3, 4 was better but I got tired of it, was not interested in 5.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Is that how it works? I did a walkthrough of Quest for Glory 1 with all character types in one video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2KUp3SAdtd8mLc) and noted how despite having 100 throwing and a good understanding of the dagger throwing mechanic, I still could never beat the chief. Then again I was always betting max.

[@solaufein1374]

witch music is the best!

[@TheNoldaz]

you can also throw rocks at the bird nest

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Don't think I ever tried that. More than one way to skin a cat, or scare a bird as the case may be.

[@MordecaiWalfish]

its an easy way to practice throwing skill in this game

[@TheNoldaz]

Can also get the spirea seed by rock throwing, and knock door of the ermit if im not mistaken

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha some of my imports in the later games are Mr. Innocent so you'll definitely see that name before I rename him in later QFG playthroughs. Good times.

[@Varil92]

I have a question. I've read that this game has some timer issues. Do I need to install unofficial patches or simply using DosBox will work? And if so, which is the amount of CPU cycles I have to set?

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Simply using DosBox (or if you are allergic to code like me, Dfend Reloaded) should get it done without issue or having to tweak any settings.

I never played these games, I played all the King's Quest games but never got around to these. I just picked up the collection series at a thrift store today for 2 bucks with games 1-4. Will the old games only play on Windows 95 to 2000?

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha that's awesome. Get yourself Dfend reloaded (free download), then just copy the files from the CD to your HD, tell Dfend where those files are, and play it through Dfend. Works like a charm for me.

[@brillopad6901]

Let's Play With Brigands Excellent thanks, I will get on it. Do you think the King's Quest collection will work playing it through that as well?

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Yeah that's how I do it. Just find the executable file for the game and specify that for Dfend and it'll take care of the rest.

[@brillopad6901]

Awesome thanks

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

I'm still running Vista on this beast but I'd grab a free program called Dfend Reloaded if I were you; it makes games which are too antiquated for current technology run by recreating what they're used to. You can probably find the game at Abandonia or some site like that for free; I copied the files into Dfend from a collection CD I had from years ago. Hope this helps!

[@MordecaiWalfish]

Why do you turn the detail slider down in these lets play videos? Seems to me like you'd always want those up, they make the game look better. "Ambient animations, such as running water, gratuitous passersby in the town, and smoke coming out of chimneys, can be controlled by a 'detail' slider in the options menu to make the experience even more immersive." (sierra's description of this)

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

I think because it slows down my character speed slightly or makes the game slightly more likely to crash in my past experience. That may not be true with the setup I have now to play them on but I never risk it anymore; I've drilled it into my own head.

[@MordecaiWalfish]

I noticed in multiple videos you have the routine of instantly turning that dial all the way down. They never gave me any problems. Maybe it was a specific game like qfg4, where you would want to do everything possible to minimize the chance of bugs, that got you into this habit?

[@NeutralDice]

After having played QFG2 and QFG3 this one is among the most disappointing games I've ever played: horrible combat system, stupid riddles (especially in the end, the brigand fortress), endless fantasy cliches and a pointlessly huge number of possible deaths or annoying features (the fairies etc.) The developers, as if vicious gamemasters, don’t miss any chance to punish and make fun of players. I preferred QFG2, at least its remake. Its hybrid nature is this game's asset and the reason it is still remembered and played.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Yeah there's a couple annoying bits which I probably look past because I know most every in and out of the game and love it so much. Also it probably helps to have played it in the 90's for the first time. That said, I still think it holds up well.
