I was unaware of it, but I just tested it and it works.

I do understand. The purpose of the words.tok is to allow the parser to understand a variety of commands without needing to program them all separately. For a very simple example, if someone wanted a description of Dracula, they might say "look" or they might say "examine", and they might say "count...

I'm not sure I understand your point. If you're saying that it would be even worse if the game actually used those slurs in its output texts, that's obvious. I think everyone would agree that the game would be even more sexist if it actually referred to its characters using those words. If, however,...

There's a world of difference between having a list of designated naughty words that scold the player for using them and having sexist slurs that are just accepted as valid synonyms.

You should probably use your judgment and take the most appropriate synonym, rather than the alphabetically first one.

It doesn't have any relevance for playing the game, but it does for looking at the scripts in AGI Studio. The logic there will use the first entry in the words.tok list, rather than the one that's most appropriate. However, I don't think the fact that that's the first word, alphabetically, has any s...

diagnostic_log.txt

You'll want to post the output of the diagnostic tool, not the diagnostic tool itself.

(wait: stuff to try: there's only one vocabulary entry for female person: you can call Rosella Medusa and the game won't know. That's a limitation of the engine. You're supposed to be able to refer to Rosella as "woman" and to Medusa as "woman", but that means that all three terms (among others) be...

Never played that KQ3 Redux. Interesting changes. How did they make the eagle feather a puzzle? (I don't mind spoilers, as I may never play the Redux version... I think I have it DL'ed but I am currently trying to play through all the Sierra games I have... so it will be a long time before I get to...

No. I take it that, if I had, there would be a lot of entries from it on my list?

SQ1: The slot machine Trying to remember - isn't there a way to "cheat" the slot machine? Or was this in SQIV when you go back in time? The remake added an item that let you cheat. The original didn't have it. SQ2: The vine maze monster Yes, this was a nightmare also. But another one I didn't mind,...

That Medusa thing is certainly very problematic. I agree that the player has no way to figure out how to defeat her without a walkthrough or dying. Which means that in-universe, Gwydion has no reason to stand in the desert, facing east, even though that's what he'll end up doing. However, since figu...

I'd forgotten about all the stairs. Those are even worse than the KQ3 path. I know KQ4, with its direction-shift, caused me quite a few deaths. The ridiculous part there is that the character wouldn't actually have any difficulty. There's no wind, no loose rocks, no slanted ground. It's just a serie...

That mountain path is also really annoying. I don't think those kinds of deadly mazes contribute anything to the adventure games. If you're good or you turn the game speed all the way down, you can get through safely. If you're bad, you'll spend a lot of unfun time saving and loading and still get t...

KQ3 definitely had some very annoying things, and that eagle was one of them.
