How you ever warranted such a fine lady is beyond me. If any of you makes trouble, they'll earn a thrashing! Today's your lucky day, scum. Dakota, who, as an inquisitor, had some familiarity with magic, recognized that look: that of someone under the effect of an enchantment.īlackerly pointed towards Dorian and said gruffly, "You there! That's the scum! Get'im unshackled. At that moment, however, he seemed a little dazed. All of the prisoners recognized Sergeant Tomas Blackerly, for it was he who had held the brand that marked each of them. "Don't blame us because your 'human cargo' business finally got busted."Īt that moment, a group of six guards, heavily armed and ready for trouble, came into the cell led by a fat, well-dressed sergeant of the watch. "Oh, you're always such an uptight sour puss," Tardaesha smirked at her older brother. I thought he might be of use when the rest of you came to get me out of this place. "He was arrested for treason.a respectable crime. "Who's the runt?" Dorian asked, frowning at the dwarf. "I thought you said this was the crew that was gonna bust you out," Lemmy interrupted. "You couldn't think of anything more subtle!?" "By burning down the temple!!" Kelvin was apoplectic. "I did take care of it," Dorian said morosely. "Dory was supposed to take care of that," Kat smiled. "Except for the fact of a corpse laying in the middle of the sanctuary!" Kelvin shrieked. "So you thought slitting his throat was the answer!!?" Kelvin spat. "I actually thought I might talk them out of it before they got caught," she said, "but I was too late. "And you!" Kelvin speared Katarina with his gaze. The twins never ceased to amaze and infuriate Kelvin. "What better way to make our point?" Dakota giggled. "By fornicating on the altar in the high temple of Iomedae!!?" Kelvin snapped, incredulous. Dakota and I were just protesting your unjust and wrongful arrest." "Now, now, dear brother," Tardaesha purred, "don't be that way. At Branderscar, justice came swift and sure. Little thought was given to long-term accommodations. A guard was posted right outside the cell day and night. Their arms secured to the wall above by manacles. Their feet were secured by iron cuffs tethered by one long chain. All of the forsaken were bound and imprisoned together. No special treatment had been given to any of them, male or female, commoner or noble. Manhandled and mistreated, any finery they once possessed was either ruined or long lost. The prisoners had all been chained together in the same communal cell, dressed in nothing but filthy, tattered rags. ![]() Through fire or steel, their crimes would be answered. In three days, the executioner would arrive and the axe would fall, or the pyre would be lit. Perhaps instead they had come to Branderscar to face the final judgement. ![]() Perhaps, some of them would be spared this ordeal. Others might await the 'gentle' ministrations of the inquisitors so that co-conspirators may be revealed and confessions extracted. The mark signified 'forsaken,' and the painful scar was indelible proof that each of them had betrayed the great and eternal love of Iomedae and her chosen mortal vassals.Ĭondemned, they faced, at best, a life of shackles and servitude in the nearby salt mines. They were held down by rough hands and branded upon the arm with a runic F. ![]() Each of the prisoners received the same greeting when they arrived.

![]() It is fun to work with extremely creative people and I enjoy watching them bloom as designers. I don't believe though, that the games themselves would have been any different had I only worked on them one at a time since I didn't reduce the time each game received from me rather, I reduced the amount of time in my personal life!Īs far as working with co-designers, I've done that many times and I enjoy doing so. I felt the pressure since it was a radical departure from anything in the industry and from anything I had done before. I also felt intense pressure in their delivery dates and that both needed to be best-sellers - especially with Phantasmagoria. Plus, I had some difficulty keeping both games in my head. Even though I feel that both received my undivided attention at all of the most crucial times in their development, it was hard on me personally! I didn't have much free time and my personal life suffered somewhat. Roberta: I didn't enjoy working on two major games at once. How did you feel, balancing two games in your head at once? Do you think that, if you had handled each game separately, that they would have been different? Also, what was it like co-designing King's Quest VII ? Did you enjoy that experience? Question: In 1994, you were working on both King's Quest VII and Phantasmagoria. Note the Phantasmagoria-like graphical user interface. As a young girl, I had been extremely into these types of stories, and so, I translated this natural interest into The Wizard and the Princess and all of the King's Quests. Later, when I designed the first King's Quest, I took the same basic idea I had for The Wizard and the Princess, which was using elements of fairy tales, myths, and legends. It became the number one game on the Apple II. Roberta: I did a game in 1981 called The Wizard and the Princess. Question: How did the idea for King's Quest begin? Had you always wanted to make such a game series? Anybody who wishes to remain in this industry for any length of time needs to be able to move on a dime and be willing to change and forge their own way and not to fall into set ways or "me too" products. Unlike many other industries, however, the computer industry is more complex and moves fast. Any industry has to be attuned to the consumer and to strive to give them the best product - the computer industry is no different. Those of us who are up to the challenge will yet remain, and those who are not will find themselves doing something else. Competition is better for the consumer, and, ironically, better for all of us in the computer industry as it challenges us to be better and do better work. Roberta: The industry is now a lot more competitive! However, I don't dislike competition. Question: Seeing that you've been designing games for such a long time, what do you think of the way the PC gaming industry has developed over the years? It just seemed like a fun thing to do at the time, and, if my game made any money, then. I was just an inspired "creative person". Question: Back in the early 1980s when you were designing Mystery House, did you ever think that this was the start of a long and successful career? I'm not crying about this though - in general, I prefer a certain amount of anonymity.Ī dead body lies in the nursery in between a rocking chair and crib. Secondly, I believe I used to be more well-known in times past when computer owners were fewer but more knowledgeable about the computer industry than in today's world where there are more computer owners who are less knowledgeable about individual people and/or goings-on within the industry in general. I don't put myself into gender mode when designing a game. Roberta: I appreciate the sentiment that I am a popular woman in computer gaming circles but I prefer being thought of as a computer game designer rather than a woman computer game designer. Question: Are you aware of what a popular woman you are in the computer gaming industry? You will undoubtedly find that Roberta is very informative and provides comprehensive answers to a wide range of topics for her fans and critics alike. ![]() In each case, the questioner is Andy and/or myself. ![]() The results of our evenly combined questioning efforts are presented in edited form below. He invited me to contribute numerous questions. In November 1997, Andy Bellatti arranged an email interview with Phantasmagoria and King's Quest series designer Roberta Williams. Review of Phantasmagoria Memorial - Roberta Williams Interview Roberta Williams Interview ![]() You don’t have to build in the black forest, but (like your first camp) you’re looking for convenience and accessibility - a fire, a workbench, storage, and food to return to periodically. When you find a promising patch of black forest, build yourself a new camp with a bed to reset your spawn point. When you first enter a black forest biome, you’ll see that the ground color (and cover) changes as well. Image: Iron Gate Studio/Coffee Stain Publishing via Polygon A black forest biome has fir and pine trees, and a generally mossier color palette. (It was kind of hit or miss for us.) If you can’t find any, go explore until you do. The text in the upper right should reflect the biome you’re hovering over. ![]() It looks darker green-blue on the map as well. On your map, look for an area with dense trees - trees in the meadows biome are a little sparser on the map. Black forest biomes are hilly and marked by tall trees - specifically fir and pine trees. Meadows biome versus a black forest biome on the map. With the antler pickaxe in hand, Hugin will show up to tell you about a new biome: the black forest. Step 2: Find a black forest biome and build a new camp Head to a workbench, and craft the antler pickaxe (10 wood, 1 hard antler). (Eikthyr is the only source of hard antler, so if you ever need more, you to summon him again). When you defeat Eikthyr, he’ll drop some hard antler. We’re starting with an easy step, because what follows is a ton of grinding, and you deserve an early win. Build a raft or a karve and learn to sail.Step 8: Collect 3 ancient seeds to summon The Elder Step 7: Craft a bronze pickaxe, bronze armor, and a bronze weapon Teleporting and fast travel with portals.Step 6: Craft a bronze axe to collect fine wood Step 5: Build a charcoal kiln, smelter, and forge, make copper Find copper deposits to mine copper ore.Step 3: Locate burial chambers to find surtling cores After all of that, we’ll tackle summoning and defeating The Elder. We’ll also give you a crash course in boatbuilding and sailing. Enter Polygon’s Valheim walkthroughs, where we fill in the gaps.Īfter defeating Eikthyr, you’ll get some hard antler, and that will set you down the path to crafting metal tools.This Valheim walkthrough begins after defeating Eikthyr and ends at the next boss, The Elder.Īlong the way, we’ll create the antler pickaxe, find and explore the black forest biome, raid burial chambers, find tin and copper, smelt and forge metal, cook some food in a cauldron, brew some potions in a fermenter, craft the cultivator and plant some seeds, and (finally) build our first metal tools, armor, and weapons. It’s not so clear about how you’re supposed to do that. Valheim is pretty good at telling you what to do next.

It’s puzzling. But so long as it counts words so greedily, it will be relegated to short motions and letters. This is a shame, because Pages is a very pleasant word processor to use. Pages sees imaginary word breaks in places that I do not. What led to the huge gap between the lowest count (Word) and the highest count (Pages)? It turns out that Pages uses an algorithm that treats an abbreviation like “4.RR.125-26” as being four words. Here are the word counts from four word processors I had at my fingertips: Word processor I put this text into its own clean word-processing file and made a few tweaks to the typography. I lifted roughly a page and a half from a recent appellate brief. Statutory citations: How many words is a cite to “§123.23(A)(1)(i)(a)”? Is it just one long word, or is it five very short words? Record citations: Is a record citation like “4.RR.124-25” one word or two or three or four? Numerals: Does a pinpoint cite to a span of pages (e.g., “123-25”) count as one word or two? Legal citations: Is “S.W.3d” one word or two? Phrasal adjectives: Is “summary-judgment motion” two words or three?.Word processors disagree about the mathĪlthough your favorite word processor will give you a “word count,” do you know what it is counting? This post explains my thinking - and may make you reconsider your word-processor allegiances. The comment I left suggested that your certificate specify the word processor that you used to generate the document (and thus the count). You’ve no doubt noticed the new word-count limits applicable in Texas appellate courts.Īt his blog, Todd Smith has collected some examples from practitioners about how to phrase the word-count certificate of compliance. Post-apocalyptic properties are hot right now. Even the production image that was released looks a little like a scene from the AMC “The Walking Dead.” To me, like many others, “The Last of Us” franchise always had a “The Walking Dead” feel to it. The game already has a rich world that can be expanded on with the right show runners who know the universe. A series gives the story more chance for expansion and the ability to develop the characters. The idea of “The Last of Us” as a television series or limited series is better than a movie. When I heard the news that Pascal was cast as Joel in “The Last of Us” series, I was instantly excited to see what HBO will do with the popular property. I’ve watched “Narcos” several times for the writing and characters. The pairing of Pascal and Holbrook is one of the best fictional, law enforcement pairings in recent television history. I’ve been a Pascal fan since his brief stint on “Game of Thrones.” His starring role on the Netflix series “Narcos,” opposite the great Boyd Holbrook, was where the 46-year-old actor gained international fame as the cold, DEA agent who is obsessed with capturing Pablo Escobar. Pedro Pascal has been cast as Joel, the game, and series’ smuggler and main protagonist. It would have been nice to get a face reveal, but the image of the two main characters from behind is a smart marketing tease. It’s not much, it’s just Joel and Ellie looking out across a field at abandoned plane wreckage. ![]() The first image has great attention to detail. It’s our first look at the cable show based on the iconic video games “The Last of Us” and “The Last of Us: Part II.” Recently, a production image of the HBO series “The Last of Us” was released.
