Quest for Glory is wildly important and influential to me. I go back to these games time and time again, and their memorable characters, lush settings, and joyful sense of humor helped make me who I am. I'm joined by my close, personal friend David Kinne for the first part of a retrospective and deep dive into why we adore these games so damned much, starting with QFG1: So You Want to Be a Hero.
