The Dink Network

Some people like more Pilgrim's Quest that Stone of Balance. The question is WHY? (Can't understand them) Please post here!

I found Stone of Balance to be incredibly... frustrating. I may have been in a bad mood at the time, but I found myself cheating through it, and I still felt frustrated.

Pilgrim's Quest was a much more rewarding experience for me... I finished it without cheating and without following a walkthrough or anything.

I doubt this applies to everyone, though.

SOB is easier to figure out, but PQ is more... clever. Also, PQ has better fighting and graphics.

Somehow I vote against the better graphics. Sure, they're great as far as graphics go, probably the best graphics ever made for Dink, but I find them too "3D-looking" for a 2D game like Dink. The scorpions... I've fallen in love with them. They look like they were in the original, but simply never used (like the spikey wheels).

Hmm, weird. The scorpions never looked quite right to me, as if they were on a different angle when compared to the rest of the graphics.

The blobs blended in the best from my eyes.

Oh sure that point is right. Specially when Dink where on that many jails. Too much time inside.

My opinion is that SoB is for dinkers that played several DMODs before, and know some things about DMODs. PQ can be played even if you're not a dinker.
I played both using walktroughs and sometimes opening the map with the editor to see some things I couldn't see in the game.

SoB... referred to a walkthrough just once. I couldn't figure out how to get to key to the church/stronghold. And when playing through a second time when I tried to get all pieces.

PQ... probably somewhere in the End of the World.

I like SoB better. Somehow the references to other stories (especially classic mythology) and the overall idea of having different stories strikes me.

hey guyz nice deb8...
i would say both are good. as far as PQ is concerned it has got luck/honour/agility which is quite different from other dmods as well as got good magics like thunder lightning. Plus it has got water monsters which is also cool...
and the fire forest.. wow
SOB is good in the sense it has got good little stories... plus the big maze, and the jail escape, town of gold

apart from the 2, i believe age of eternity is simply too good. it is not much tough, plus has got new weapons and magic but beating the dragon takes something.. havnt beaten it without the cheat code

Do Play Legend of tenjin.. its ultimate.. juz play n see urself

I hope you meant As Good as Eternity, and the white dragon. You don't have to kill it

I haven't played SOB yet as it's such a big
download.I'll get around to it someday.

Lol, it si the opposite for me Carrie. <Whines> So many d-mods to play, so little time. <Quietly mummurs as he walks away> No time at all...

no boss i am not talking about the white dragon but the main dragon at the end of tha game... its really tuff

Ah, that one. Yes it's tough. Very tough.

I like PQ better because it a good challenge.
And it has a more dramatic storyline in my opinion.

Both games are Masterpieces but I like PQ a little bit better..

As XXhex said: "Both games are Masterpieces", but I liked SOB just a little better, I played it with no walkthrough or 'cheating' and several times called SimonK a bad name ( )
I called him several bad name through PQ, also, but found it more delibrating as if the game itself, had somehow gotten away from SimonK and took on a life of it's own.
I always like the original best, and have downloaded and played SOB several times, just to see if I missed anything.

I love SOB I played it when it first came out.I like Pilgrims Quest also. But I haven't played any d-mods until recently. Had a virus that wiped out my machine. Had it fixed but bought a new one in the meantime. I have a dell xp but my last machine was also an xp. Anyway I am playing sob again but in the first story when I get in the cave for the flute, after I set off the bomb everything slows up so bad that I can slowly count to seven before the move I put in works. It took me almost an hour to finish in the cave and then I couln't line up exactly to exit the cave. Sorry to bore you guys with this tale but I am a big dink fan and if anyone can help me I would appreciatae I am a grandmother of 4 I just turned 71 on Dec 1st. so please help.

Hmmm... game slowling up after the rock/skulls explode at the dragon cave entrance... not sure what has caused this.

I'd suggest saving the game, quitting and then seeing what happens after you reload with game up and running clean.

If you get the same slowness. Email me your saved game - simonk@australiamail.com

That worked thank you so much. Now I can go back to my adventures. Thanks again,

your all wrong SOB III is going to be better when its finished

abit like duke nukem forever

Duke nukem forever? Are you implying that you think that Necromancer will never be finished? I thought SimonK was going to release it in a few days...

You're right, in fact, he's going to release it tomorrow.

Really? Wow! I thought he was going to release it in two days ( Christmas you know ), but tomorrow would be great!

Or maybe he isn't going to do that...

*snickers*

Christiaan, you tease!

You're right, Dink Online is being released tomorrow. Pilgrim's Quest is next week.

Whoops, thanks metatarasal. I guess I missed SimonK's post...

I had to kill the sleeping dragon to get out. Now I can not enter the palace with the flute. the palace is just a big square in the feld that Dink can not enter.
