He needed to know because "older brother" and "younger brother" are different words in Japanese. Up to this point, no one had even considered the matter, and when you think about it, it makes a bit of difference to the plot: an older brother is a bit of an authority figure to the younger, so was the murder an act of tyrranical betrayal or rebellious usurpation?<BR/><BR/>They decided on the former, I think mainly because Doug Church liked it better. Betrayal by older authority figures went on to become a theme in most of the games that Church worked on (System Shock, Thief, Deus Ex, etc.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541174503724500787.post-86401947784236740522007-05-06T21:14:00.000-07:002007-05-06T21:14:00.000-07:00Tooty, fluty goodness is in a chamber behind Goldt...Tooty, fluty goodness is in a chamber behind Goldthirst's throne. Nab it while delivering the golden McNugget. No, he doesn't give you a decent sword for it. Caliburn is pretty good though, and once you lose it by the plot, you don't need a weapon afterwards.<BR/><BR/>Dr Owl is completely lacking in compassion, but he is honorable. Murgo is his servant.<BR/><BR/>Tyball is easiest to kill if you destroy his orb first. That halves his hitpoints and allows you to work magic back at him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
