Riddle Me This

[Rensje]

Look at you insect
Panting and sweating as you
Run through my [hallways]

*phrasing adjusted to fit haiku format

Make it easy, why don't you?
Corridors. Endless corridors. And turrets!
System Shock 2 of course!

Here's a new one I am quite proud of.

When a sharp-dressed man
plays the most dangerous game
he yeets his briefcase

Hitman 2

 

[Pifanjr]

@Pifanjr The God in Black&White.

Good guess, but no.

 

[Rensje]

Hitman 2

Obviously you are correct!
Give us another!

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

I'm terrible at guessing these but I'll throw an easy one in

Haiku works really well for this.

Ridiculous snakes
'neath an ethereal land
A sad king smoulders.

Dark Souls. The ridiculous snakes gave it away.

I'll try another, this one is a specific character for a change.

A proud sword maiden
sworn to carry your burdens.
Except through doorways.

@Mazer That would have to be Lydia, one of the companions you can get in Skyrim.


I came falling from the sky, and such I can make you do too

 

[OsaX Nymloth]

I came falling from the sky, and such I can make you do too

Makes me think of certain mage from Morrowind.

 

[Frindis]

@OsaX Nymloth You are very, very close, but I am no mage.

 

[Zloth]

@Frindis - the main character in Torment: Tides of Numenera?

 

[Frindis]

@Zloth Good answer, but that is incorrect.

A little tip: I am not a person.

It is from the game that @OsaX Nymloth mentioned and I could have almost given him a thumbs up for his answer, but I decided to be a little strict.

It must be the scroll of Icarian flight then. That was a tough one, I was even thinking it could be Fortnite.

 

[Frindis]

That is correct, @Mazer

 

[Pifanjr]

Who rules triumphantly from above?

I'll add a haiku hint:

Minions, go forth!
Kill, orbs flying, equip loot
I will rule these lands

 

[Frindis]

@Pifanjr Do you have another hint?

 

[Mazer]

I'll add a haiku hint:

Minions, go forth!
Kill, orbs flying, equip loot
I will rule these lands

Overlord? Loved that game.

 

[Pifanjr]

Overlord? Loved that game.

Yes, that's the one. It was made by Triumph Studios (hence the triumphantly in the original riddle).

I actually never finished the game. I got stuck somewhere and got sick of grinding for red minions to get through, so I started playing something else and never felt like getting back into it.

 

[OsaX Nymloth]

Since no one else so far proposed any new riddle

A bit different format. I wonder how long this one will take

Make haste, thy friend is in need
Across the city, across the coast
Even undeground thou shalt venture
Quickly, before power hungry greed
Becomes god

 

[Frindis]

@OsaX Nymloth Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness?

 

[I Will Haunt You]

"thy friend is in need" but thou hast my brain itching on this one.

 

[OsaX Nymloth]

No, it's not Ultima.

Hint: it's a cRPG. And a sequel. Should be easy now :>

@I Will Haunt You my bad, fixing

 

[I Will Haunt You]

Baldur's Gate 2? I had an inkling of that before, but it's been so long I am not sure about the friend in need part. The city and coast stuff of course fits.

 

[OsaX Nymloth]

Baldur's Gate 2? I had an inkling of that before, but it's been so long I am not sure about the friend in need part. The city and coast stuff of course fits.

Yup, you are correct. Imoen being obviously the friend in need. City/coast/underground is self-explanatory. And power hungry greed trying to become god is of course Irenicus.

 

[I Will Haunt You]

Imoen being obviously the friend in need.

I am remembering now.

Okay, here it goes:

Here or there
No space between
Mocking tone
Impetus obscene
Golden silence
Light on Feet
Bitter truths
Are never sweet
