Dragonfire: Quest for Glory V end movie & credits

[Clorwall]

... and the eruption destroyed Silmaria. The end

[FrailShiver]

Thanks so much for posting this. Its been many many years since I last played it but remember that I kept getting a error during the game and was never able to finish it.

[IronBobcat2278]

@FrailShiver you are very welcome. I tried to do a playthrough on my modern pc; but it would not let me go passed Minos. The game is unfortunately loaded with bugs

[tokyomons]

@IronBobcat2278 The crash at Minos is a QuickTime error. Try installing QFG5 with the new installer from SierraHelp dont com. It'll install and fully patch the game for you, and copy the correct version of QuickTime into the game folder (without affecting the latest version on your PC). The only error I encountered playing this on Windows 7 was when fighting the dragon at the end, got around by turning down soundFX and pausing when he'd shoot fire

[IronBobcat2278]

@tokyomons Thank you, now maybe I can do that playthrough. This is one of only 4 sierra games I have left one of which; being space quest on disk (not disc) lol These old adventure games actually helped me to teach myself to read and spell. Learning is fun when you think of it as a game.

[DBoy2029]

Man, I hope the people who now own the Sierra games make all five for the newer systems, as they did for King's Quest, Space Quest, etc.  I miss playing those games, and long to play them all again... and hopefully in the remakes, they fix all the frikkin' bugs!

[tokyomons]

@DBoy2029 The creators of Quest For Glory - Lori and Corey Cole - have said they think the reason the games haven't been re-released is because they would still be owed royalties for them, and the company isn't prepared to pay out. If they were re-released, I doubt they'd go to the expense of patching the bugs. All the other re-releases are exactly the same, just with DOSBox thrown in to make them a bit more stable (which you can download for free anyway).

[DBoy2029]

@tokyomons So, QG5 (and the previous four) should still work (I have Windows 7, so you know), just need DosBox and the patches.

[tokyomons]

@DBoy2029 Yeah. I just played through all 5 games last week on my Windows 7 laptop. I used DOSBox with the first four games. If you use the new installers on the Sierra Help website, they will install the games, and DOSBox (fully configured) and all the patches automatically. All you need to do is put in the CD and run the new install file from the website.

[DBoy2029]

@tokyomons Thanks for the info. Got a link to the Sierra Help website that does this?  I think I'll hunt for my QfG Anthology and QG5 CDs soon... and now that those guys handle the patches, I need no longer fear the dreaded Error 52 in QG4! X3

[m14g]

@DBoy2029 Its easy called DosBox. download it. It's a Dos Emulator its FREE.

[jmancil10]

i know, i had to put on an old ;aptop with 98 for it to work lol

[xnightshadyx]

I could never get through QFG5, despite how many times I played through the other four. Was that Erana? I thought she was supposed to be dead or something? I don't remember there ever being much explanation of who or what she was, except that she made two nifty gardens in Spielburg and Mordavia.

[xnightshadyx]

Oh, and since the hero is already the Prince of Shapier, what the hell is he going to do when he ascends to Sultan there?

[getoutofmyway01]

best game ever!!!!

[Zoooqie]

Props to navigating through the bugs and posting the ending, I thought I would never see it.

[IronBobcat2278]

@Zoooqie You are most welcome. I had almost an entire playthrough ready to be uploaded and part of it was. I was the magician and I was going to do the Katrina ending-but the bugs were unforgiving. I got right up to where Minos fell and it froze, even with the patch. I also have, almost a complete PT of The Shield, which I will finish when I move. We're all packed right now though.

[ET740]

Isn't Erana sweet? Why can't more women be like that?

[ET740]

Is it at all possible to marry Katrina? I'd like to see that on a playthrough!

[IronBobcat2278]

@ET740 Yes and I can do that for you. You can only marry her as the magcian though

[ET740]

@IronBobcat2278 Wow, thanks very much! I heard that you are not allowed to have any stealth or pick lock skills either. Is that true?

[IronBobcat2278]

@ET740 That is correct. I had a character once with every skill, who played as a Paladin but got the ending of a thief. The thief is the most difficult class to use; but the magician is no easy feat either.

[lowcomedy]

Just finished quest for glory 4.

I'd like to get this game so I can complete the adventures of "Betty' the mighty paladin\wizard with thief skills.

Yes, I named my hero Betty.

[IronBobcat2278]

You know, it is possible to have a character with every skillset. But if you finish it as a paladin with thief skills-you will be deemed a thief and lose the crown and get the "bad" ending. lol Loved these adventure games I did. Too bad activision are such pricks. They COULD put them on the ps3 store-but they probably won't. Notice how Sierra Managment has systematically, killed all those franchises

[lowcomedy]

Really? Even if it's just acrobatics and sub par lock picking skills?

[OwnageIncBFinch]

A few things I noticed just now, as I favorited this video because of the song in the credits, but anyways - when the volcano erupted like that then it would've actually erupted on top of Silmaria. And a more or less technical perception I made - when you patch the same, the total score page would actually have an additional button that says "To-Do List". =]

[DwayneAPurple]

whenever I play as the paladin, I decline the throne

[OvaltinePatrol]

It's been forever and a day since I've played this, but I seem to remember it being possible to defeat the dragon without any of the heroes dying. Of course, my hero was plenty powerful on account of having been imported throughout the series (QG3 is extremely good for raising your abilities), so that might have made the difference.

[DownfallPrion]

so it didnt crash for you right after minos jumped to his death must be a quicktime error cause i dont get the video before the dragons cave so my game finishes at minos's palace for me thats as far as i can get tried reinstalling QT3 aswell made no difference must be an XP thing might try the patch

[IronBobcat2278]

You have to get the patch, which you should be able to find just by searching dragon fire crash patch. You're quite correct, at that part; the game does crash quite frequently

the entire series is full of bugs lol

[Deigues]

I LOVED THIS GAME! My brother gave it to me when it came out, I was 7 but really enjoyed games like this and Gabriel Knight. its shame they don´t make games like these anymore :S

[IronBobcat2278]

Yeah, it is too bad that the Oakhurst offices got shut down and the company is owned by a greedy corporation now, who don't give a crap about the history of the company and its classic franchises-just look at the way the tried to kill. LSL I kinda think QFG would be a good fit for the new generation. I envision a massive world sandbox, with online or offline play. The classes could be updated: fighter>Knight, wizard>sorcerer, Thief>Ninja each character could start at a different place

[Tjurhuvud]

No. Simply no.

[GrizzlyDulani28]

Brings me back...

[IronBobcat2278]

and have a slightly different back story: I always thought the thief should go to a place like Japan for example While, the wizard would go to a place like a Scotland, where there would be Druids and you put the fighter starts off in a place of brutes. I also think a stealth element for the thief would be interesting. You put the paladin>who would become...I dunno, Heavenly Champion, start him off in a place with shades of Ancient Sumeria

These are good ideas I think, franchise is gone tho

[LordeSloth]

These are lovely, if somewhat hopeful, ideas; although I fantasize about the potential of the franchise as well. If it Gloriana came online (as I think the Coles were hoping to attempt), for once I'd have no choice but to shell out monthly payments to be let on. But the danger would be such a transfer would leave it drained of the adventure element; even QFG5, as much as I love it, focused more on glory = number of foes killed/calmed/blackjacked. Fun, but a little too different.
