Hey, we're back! And we're still at Phoenix. As mape's info explained, Phoenix is the whole city setting of Dragon Knight 2.
In the process of beating Dragon Knight 2, Shepard banged up all the Phoenix's city gals he rescued. We already met Kate and Marie, let's see if there's more ex-lovers of his.
What of, Pietro?
Pietro: My wife, Kate, seems so distant. As if I don't exist. You used to know her right? Now Kate's talking about celibacy!
Celibacy refers to a state of not being married, or a state of abstention from sexual intercourse or vow of marriage
That's too bad, Pietro! I wish we could help!
It looks like the ghost of Slate's old boyfriend, Nesmond.
That's 'Kate' and 'Shepard', Chief, and I'm not a ghost.
The dead have risen from their graves!
Chief, I'm not dead!
Well of course you're not! Welcome back, son.
Whatever, man.
Megatech's writing strikes again. Do note that the old man is mangling up the protagonist's default name 'Desmond'. If it isn't obvious to you right now, heh. But not everybody has (Perception)
But you do look fine, Dismal. If I could remember anything about you, I'm sure we'd have a fine talk!
I'm sure we would.
C'mon, Shep. Let's leave this old geezer alone. We have better things to do.
Have I told you about my daughter, Nate? she's a real tramp.
But what about Mudcrabs, Chief?
She's married to a perfectly respectable guy. His name eludes me. He's often away, so she snags the next guy who comes by and convinces him that he's her special other man. Now, if I could only remember why she does that.
That's deeper than people visiting murderers in their sleep for recruitment. Let's check the tavern, maybe someone got raped!
Why, thanks!
Bunny: You want me to sit beside you? It's an extra 10%. You're a cute one. You remind me of my first regular.
Uh-huh.
Bunny: Nobody knew him, except he had money, a sword and armor!
Not you too!
Wut? What's wrong, Shep?
Bunny: Excuse me?
Never mind.
Bunny: Anyhow, after I taught him everything, he tried to nail everyone in town.
Man, that sounds awfully familiar.
I think this has gone on long enough.
Mmm-hmm.
Bunny: What are you saying?
Drop the act, Bunny, you do remember me.
Bunny: I'm sorry, you're just too effeminate to be Shepard.
INFO: interesting to note: Takeru ( Japanese version of Shepard), has black hair in the anime of Dragon Knight. I do not know why they turned him blond in DK-III. Also this is how they resolve combat in previous Dragon Knight:
Yikes! I'll take this semi-auto combat engine anytime! And NO, I DO NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN BLIND-LP OF PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS. The pixels and moon-language will kill my eyes.
Back to the game, let's check what's upstairs!
Hmm, that butt looks so familiar.
Geez, you've fucked EVERY girl, didn't you?
Shepard?
Hi! Long time no see!
So polite.
Long time no see? Is that all you can say?
Trust me, Rita. It's the best I've seen from him yet.
Well, yes.
Sec..let me google it up. I don't quite understand...
Oh.
We'll talk about it later, honey. Sweetie pie.
I think I'm gonna puke.
How long you intend staying this time?
Not long.
Since Grandpa keeled over, I've been running the inn alone.
With his last few breaths he asked for little Shepard.
...You...you had a child with him?
What? There isn't one, is there?
Thank god, no..but the least you could do is patronize the place a little.
PHEW.
Man, can't stop bumping into people you fucked before. This has got to be very awkward if this ever happens in real life.
May: I didn't think I'd ever see your face again. Excuse me. You do remember me, don't you?
.....Uh, Shep?
May: I'll give you a hint. These letters on my name tag spell my name.
Oh, May! How good to see you. How's your, um?
(Perception) to the rescue!
May: Oh, give it up. You've probably forgotten that night. What a disappointment. I couldn't touch a man for months.
Hey, it wasn't my fault. It was the peach brandy.
May: Oh, you DO remember. It's about time. Now leave me alone.
Man, that made me curious. But not enough to make me play DK-2. Let's talk to the other girl next to her. Shep can't possibly have fucked her too, right?
I thought so.
Know you? You once called me your "Grand Scepter".
This guy. What the fuck?
Jocelyn: I did, did I? And you still left without saying good-bye. Yes, I do remember. I have no intention of being hurt again.
Awww. I guess not all ex-lovers are like Kate.
Hello, shopkeeper. Did Shep had sex with you?
Shepard, welcome back! Finally decided to pay the money you owe me? That's what I get for not demanding a written IOU. At least try to make it up to me and buy something. With you gone and Rolf buying a farm, nobody wants to kill and maim any more.
Sure thing!
Finally, a real...oh wait, the description. Let's move on, oh look, a church.
I guess as long it's got a vagina, Shepard's willing. Nuns be damned.
What? No! That wasn't a dick joke.
So, what do you do when you're not hurting a girl's feeling?
I gave up magic for religion. I work here now. There's certain things people shouldn't mess with.
No sex for old times' sake? I am disappoint.
OK.
Rid yourself of your guilt. Tell me everything: every look, kiss, caress, every thrust!
.....wow.
Huh?
If you heard "I had an impure thought about my wife" all day, you'd be desperate for smut, too. If you're tired of talking, I'm willing to see a demonstration.
Right, unfortunately we cannot have more than two sex per city. Or something. Cause every ex-lover so far gave Shep the cold shoulder. Except for Kate & Marie.
Oh, that's nice. Some back-story.
I'm sure that's not the truth. Let's find Rolf...
Gee, I wonder why that happened.
Free cash! And finally...
Shepard?
If it was a dream, I'd be a six-foot blonde in a night!
Yep, it's you.
It's that killer wit, huh?
More like your killer smell.
At least I don't look like a walking ad for steroid control.
Thanks but no. Really, you're looking pretty good.
Well, I'm doing fine except in the equipment department.
What are you talking? Hey! Where's your sword? And your armor!
Well, you know.
A girl, it figures.
No, bandits.
You lost your Falcon Sword to pansy-ass bandits?
Well, you know I can only draw the blade against evil. I thought they were only stupid and ugly.
Like yourself...but it's just like in my dream.
Dream?
Yes, a beautiful woman appears and whispers in my ear. She tells me a young, brave but foolish soul will seek my aid.
Bioware couldn't have written a better plot.
The six-foot blonde in a nightie?! Did she have big ones?
Man, why are you so hyper about sex when you talk with your bro?
Shepard!
Sorry.
Maybe the dark knight can help us. He just passed through.
Did it seem like he was in a hurry?
Yeah, I invited him for coffee but he only had half a cup. Maybe it's my coffee.
Rolf! We need to find the Falcon Sword!
Took you this long to reach this point in the dialogue?
We? What's this we stuff?
Yours was only a dream but I had a demon-destroying light with a sweet female voice tell me you'd help me.
That would kind of suggest that she wants me to help you, wouldn't it?
No shit. Can we get a move now?! This conversation sucks ass!
Well, I am tired of working the farm. Sure, I've grown close to the sheep but I'm starting to long for some wanton violence. Remember the time I crushed that guy's skull with only my left hand while draining a tankard of scotch-soaked pig gristle with my right?
OK, OK, any idea where to start?
Oh, I see. Besides the killing, I must also do the thinking! Well, where did you lose the stuff?
Squalor Hollow...but it took a long time to get here.
Why? Did you hold the map upside down again?
Well, first I went to Dreadsden and then to Coventry...
Squalor Hollow is due north of Phoenix!
But there's a boulder.
Leave it to me!
Really? Let's go!
Rolf is weaker than us, but extra damage and damage soaker is good. We're almost done with Phoenix, but let's visit the tower.
You bet it does, little buddy.
Shepard, it's you! I knew you'd come! So you see all your former lovers yet?
Kinda.
What's with this "Tower of Shepard" business?
The chief renamed it in your honor. The prestige helps raise funds for the tower's upkeep. But you don't need to pay. Be sure to check the jack-in-the-boxes on the top floor. Open it in the correct order to win a souvenir! You can go ahead.
I helped kill the she-devil too!
All right, all right. Go ahead.
If you get it wrong, descend, and re-enter the top floor to reset.
We're done with the tower, let's check the Cemetery.
Hello, Nora. Looks like you're still the mistress of guilt!
My black leather outfit's at home, no need to call me 'mistress'.
Huh?
You turned me off to normal sex, so I tried a more exotic pleasure. So, how long you staying?
Not long enough to see your new toys.
Heheh.
What a shame, what I learned from my cousin Clara. She lives my aunt out in the woods. You may have seen her place.
You mean the house. Uh, never mind.
That's rude! Just looting the crypt...
I also found a helmet for Rolf in here. But failed to screenshot it. It went by so quickly. Looks like there's no sex in this update, and no combat either. Let's hope the next update is better!
See you next time!
