The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood in ToMI?
hey every Monkey Island Game had the Memoirs in them, so i thougt you maybe could but them into ToMI to:
nearly every TV-series got a "prevously on (inset show name here)" at the beginnig, if the episode is conected with one of the previous Episodes.
so why dont you include a little cutscene witch shows what prevously happend, with a naration by Guybrush of course.
like:
"The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood, I was so close to get my final Victory over my nemesis, the evil Vodoo Pirat Lechuck, but instead of dying he turned into human! and I got infected by a terrible desie, the Pox of LeChuck ....and so on"

I only remember that from CMI...
In the first two games it was just written on the box or manual.
EMI made it into a cutscene that I found rather tacky (say-it-and-then-show-it doesn't make for good storytelling pacing in my opinion)
EDIT: DAMN LUIGIHANN BEAT ME TO IT
I mean don't get me wrong, it's a great idea; but maybe its something we should see in Monkey Island 6, not Monkey Island 5.
yeah bring on the memoirs i thought they were awesome on somi when i first read it!
Why? It would make sense to have it even more in an episodic game.
Yes'd
I said I thought it was a good idea. But we don't know what Telltale has come up with for this series. Like I said, maybe the next season of Monkey Island could implement something like this. It would only work if it suits the story.
I always felt they gave an impression of what the Monkey Island series would have been like if put in a more serious light, without the comedy. Take MI:LR for example:
I'd thought i'd killed the Ghost Pirate Lechuck for good. Wrong. How many times can that bloated old fool die? Other pirates tell me there's no escape. "When Lechuck wants you dead, you're dead," they say. Legend has it that the treasure of Big Whoop holds the key to great power...I must find it before Lechuck finds me.
I personally wouldn't be too disappointed if it wasn't implemented into ToMI in some way, but you've definately hit upon the way i'd like to see it done Rebirth.
The memoires have always suited the story before, there is absolutely no reason why it wouldn't now. In fact in the last 2 games it was used in game the exact way being proposed here, to fll in the backstory.
It's quite possibly to late for this series I agree, what with needing the dialogue to be recorded for it, but that should be the only reason to not use it.
