I always got the sense that her stuff was successful because there wasn't a lot of competition, and because it appealed to that same emotion that Mass Effect currently appeals to.

is that emotion that there isn't anything else like mass effect right now? because they're very similar in that regard. replace pixel hunting with conversation hunting through tons of npcs

I don't remember the king's quest games being that flexible in terms of the consequences, though, just that you did each thing right or you died.


...for a second I thought it was a tiny bit surprising you didn't like them because the story flexibility/arbitrariness of the puzzles reminds me of a lot of text-based stuff I played back then, but maybe having your preferred novels replaced in the market with comic books would put you off them.
