[dq5] my main beef with this game so far is that it has the worst case of "What do I need to do to trigger the plot flag to advance" I've ever witnessed in a game

and it is not as good at that as its contemporaries in Final Fantasy were

I've had to open a guide to figure out what to do to advance the plot like 150 times and I'm well under halfway through

at one point, you need to cross a bridge to the east
Cute Quinn

but if you try, the guard won't let you
Cute Quinn

what you have to do instead is
Cute Quinn

you go west, across several screens of wilderness, to a different town
Cute Quinn

and use the inn there

triggering a conversation with Henry during the night
Cute Quinn

then go back east to the bridge
Cute Quinn

and this time the guard recognizes Henry and lets you cross

so the country has two princes, Harry and Dale
Cute Quinn

Prince Harry was kidnapped and sent to his doom
Cute Quinn
2 weeks ago
and it's later revealed that the queen did it
Cute Quinn

because Harry is I think from the king's previous marriage
Cute Quinn

so she admits to attemping to murder the prince in part of a conspiracy to put Dale on the throne

here's the added layer of weirdness
Cute Quinn

in a classic DQ move, the queen was replaced by an evil monster clone
Cute Quinn
2 weeks ago
who is using the throne to do evil
Cute Quinn
2 weeks ago
but that happened
Cute Quinn
2 weeks ago
after the original had her stepson kidnapped and sold into slavery
Cute Quinn

so revealing the true evil queen doesn't undo the old queen's murder conspiracy charges
