Gabriel Knight 4 - blog

The Bavaria article is now up. I’ve focused on its history which has led to its current unique position in Germany, and in particular what led up to the formation of the monarchy in Bavaria. It’s an interesting thought that part of what may truly have led Ludwig II to withdraw from the political aspects of his position was that Bavaria was manoeuvred into a position without power, a throne without authority, a crown without the ability to decide.
In Ludwig’s time, Prussia’s desire to rule a united Deutschland had a disastrous effect upon Ludwig himself, I think… and perhaps this is what spurred Ludwig’s propensity for romantic imaginings into unacceptably eccentric behaviour.
Have fun finding the bits and pieces of Bavaria that provide a real backdrop to the story of Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within.

Thanks to the hard work, dedication and language skills of several GK fans, the campaign site is now available in Czech, Greek and Spanish. Please check the acknowledgements page to see who’s done what.

The international response has been wonderful. We can be proud of a site that offers significant portions of its content to fans of many different languages and many different backgrounds. We’re united in our love of a really good story and the adventure game genre - particularly of Gabriel Knight.

I’m just waiting for someone to offer to translate the site into Latin…

GK4Campaign’s Ingrid Heyn: I had the privilege and fun of interviewing Robert Holmes, well-known musician and composer of the music for the GK series. While many of you will already have read the article based on that interview, we’ve got something special for you now - the FULL INTERVIEW with Robert Holmes, published for the first time.

Enjoy!
