And another two great reads. 
I never realized that the Quest for Dorithia was only the second epic. It makes my respect for this DMOD grow even more. What is perhaps most remarkable about the Quest for Dorithia is how quickly it was made. Bill only started playing Dink when it had become freeware and finished the Quest for Dorithia already in January 2000...
And even more amazing is how fast after the first part the second part came out. The Dinknetwork puts it at February 20th 2000, which is less than a month after the first part. Apparently Bill Szcytko was out of a job at the time and managed to make an epic in less than a month. You should really read this interview, Bill even mentiones that your DMODs sucked.
The remade mod was made in a totally different period, it deserves its own playthrough if you ask me.
I don't mean to overemphasize this, but this sort of attitude towards women has actually been pretty common in otherwise good DMODs so far. Crosslink is the biggest counterexample I can think of; it took its female characters very seriously.
Paul himself has stated that his mother was a feminist, that might have something to do with that.
And ...his Ancestor 1239 has another unique thing about it: Ever since it was released it has been the first DMOD alphabetically. Whenever somebody posts a topic in the 'file-discussion' forum they need to set the DMOD they're opening the topic about. If this is not forgotten the Dinknetwork automatically assumes it to be this DMOD. Many, many file discussions about this file have been started this way. Almost all of those have been moved to the proper forum by mods, but for me this DMOD remains memorable. Only for its name though.
