Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe game (like many American movies) uses phone numbers starting with 555 which are invalid in the US. However in Germany numbers starting with 555 do exist.
- GoofsWhen Gabriel asks his lawyer about the "Koeniglich Bayrische Hofjagdloge" his pronunciation is so bad that not even German native speakers could understand a single word of it. However Gabriel's lawyer does, although he admits he never heard that term before.
- Quotes
Gabriel Knight: What do you think of the club philosophy?
Preiss: It works, doesn't it?
Gabriel Knight: Does it?
Preiss: We're all animals! Why deny it?
Gabriel Knight: So you don't believe in suppressing anything?
Preiss: Why would I want to suppress my urges? If your body wants something, it must be natural.
Gabriel Knight: Well what if you get the natural urge to rip someones throat out, shouldn't they suppress?
Preiss: Well, fortunatly my insticts are to pleasure, of the equally sticky, but less fatal kind.
Gabriel Knight: What about those whose instincts are fatal. Shouldn't they suppress?
Preiss: I believe that nature, handles that situation when it occurs, Herr Knight.
Gabriel Knight: How?
Preiss: In the wild when a member of society does not conform, he is hunted down and executed. End of mutant instinct, and its genetic bloodline.
- Alternate versionsWhen the game was first released in Germany it was the un-dubbed and un-subtitled version which had a few scenes censored (for example, von Zell sitting in his cave and eating flesh from a human bone). The screen would go black and instead of being able to see what's happening you'd see a short message on the screen (in German) just describing the scene. When the game was later released in its localized German version it was uncensored.
- ConnectionsFollowed by Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned (1999)
The dialogue is witty and smart, and I liked the characters. For the first time, I thought Gabriel was overshadowed by the villain of the piece a suave, mysterious and charismatic one by the name of Baron Frederich Von Glower, brilliantly voiced by Peter Lucas. Dean Erickson does do an above average job as Gabriel, he is funny and clever not to mention both likable and oily, but there are one or two times when his line delivery falls a little flat. Although I much prefer Tim Curry, who actually IS Gabriel, Erickson does do a good enough job to not make me feel I missed him too much.
All in all, a surprisingly good game and definitely worth playing. 9/10 Bethany Cox
