In the previous three games you arrived in a town with a clear idea of what was going on and a straightforward goal: take care of whatever troubles the country and be proclaimed a Hero. That Shadows is different from other QFG titles is clear from the very beginning. In several important ways it transcends the limits of earlier QFG games, most notably in terms of drama and storytelling. For me, the highlight of Sierra's Quest for Glory series is the fourth game, Shadows of Darkness. In any series, even one whose episodes are time and again impressive in most respects, there is usually a single title that stands out above the rest.
