Quest for Glory 4 really was something special.

Mordavia is a land in need of more than just another exterminator. It needs a Hero with a capital H: a man strong enough to not merely fight the darkness, but to bring light into dark places.You're not the strongest in the land, not by a long shot. Even with a bag of spells, you're not the most powerful. You're not even a legend. You're simply a man for whom no problem is too small, committed to saving the world with a few acts of bravery and a hundred tiny moments of kindness.

The RPG side comes in combat and a few stats, but mostly the class system. Whether you're a Fighter, Wizard, Thief, or Paladin adds extra scenes and things to do, and shakes up the puzzles. Faced with a trapped chest, for instance, a Wizard can cast Open from a distance, while a Fighter may have to take the hit to the beef. Elsewhere, a Paladin will be drawn to cleansing the valley of evil, while a Thief gets to do a little recreational breaking-and-entering. For the greater good, obviously.

Easily the star of the show, however, is the mysterious woman called Katrina . Katrina shows up at the start and reappears every few evenings. Her relationship with the hero is odd—their meetings brief, casually flirtatious, and played out like little dates she obviously looks forward to. Most important is her friendship with the Hero, which starts as simple manipulation, but ultimately turns out to be genuine. To the point that, in retrospect, she's obviously stalling for time by not even asking him to do what she needs of him. Later, when she catches him apparently about to stake her through the heart, it's not the attempted murder that she objects to—it's the betrayal.
