I remember playing a copy of Hero's Quest that was before it was renamed Quest For Glory. I never got far into the game because I didn't know what to do.
I usually went with Thief hoping I'd learn the other 2 classes along the way. At best I'd steal from houses, learn a little magic, & see which cat puns I'd be able to get away with, with the innkeeper's wife.
Then later I'd get myself killed by going into the cave or purposely getting stabbed in the back. That & I think I remember sleeping outside or falling asleep outside was a way to get robbed.
I was hoping when the Sierra logo was news a month or so ago there'd be news for a new Quest For Glory. Someone outside of Bethesda, & various MMOs ought to know the importance of Actual Beast Races.
Damn Kemonomimi / Sexy Cosplay / Generic Almost Human Races.... My buzz kill to almost every other Fantasy Game....

Sorry I have never played Gabriel Knight before. But it does look like an interesting Horror Game.
