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]

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
