no herman toothrot?
noticing some recurring characters come back, like stan and the voodoo lady, i know its a long shot, but what about Herman,i know he aint much of a big character,i doubt they will bring him in tales (but you never know in the final chapter) but he's been in all monkey island games (yes even as reference in curse of monkey island at the end, on the roller coaster ride)...i know we last saw him in escape from monkey island, but sadly i didnt finish it, due to a clitch...i got to monkey kombat...then soon as i finished it(finally), i needed one,just one item to smack on Hermans head, to remember something, but i couldnt find it, because that item was supposed to be in the lava pit....but i will go eventually back to play the game again....
on a side note, what other character would you like to see back??
i would love to see wally back

I mean, damn, they HAVE to appear...
yeah i heard the ending was terrible, but id still end up playing it, i mean its monkey island at the end of the day
Forget them! I want to see all those random ghosts (that didn't look like ghosts) that would walk through you in the middle of Mêlée Island™ then go through those doors that don't go anywhere and yet somehow arrive someplace coz they never come out the other side! :cool:
Or how about the judge or librarian from LCR? Eh? Eh??
Pretty much how I feel.. they ruined the character in EMI so badly that I'd have little interest in seeing him again. Perhaps Telltale would be able to bring him back and do it right, but I'm fine if he doesn't appear.
I'm sure this final episode will have at least one more returning character though.
i think i know what happens but i thought i might aswell play through it still
AGREE. I mean seriously, there was so much of a great chance for it on Flotsam. That's just their type of island.
Those guys fit anywhere, it's easy, in Chapter 5 they could of just been sat on some perch:
Guybrush: What are you guys doing here?
*they look at each other*
All: Dead.
The manatee has a delicate palette when it comes to who it swallows -- only recurring characters will do!
It would have made lots of sense.
If only we'd have gotten more requests like this at the BEGINNING when there were so many what returning characters would you like to see threads, WHEN IT ACTUALLY MATTERED. I think I was one of the only people even mentioning the idea.
Yep, EfMI's finale made it difficult to use that character again, which is a pity because I really enjoyed his craziness in the first games. Then again all stories evolve and maybe he will be in some new role in future Monkey games.

Technically she doesn't "recognize" him until she already hears "Grandpa Marley" is in the robot. So maybe she doesn't recognize him so much as believe he's Grandpa Marley because he's the only old guy who comes out. It's not recognition, it's the power of suggestion!

Not sure I'd agree with that. While it'd be fun to see them in a cameo, I don't think it would have worked with how much you had to interact with Bugeye, etc down there.
And like someone else mentioned, having them AND Murry show up in the same place would have been pushing it a bit. I don't think we need that many refrences and call backs to the older games, when it becomes a case of including something for the sake of including it.. then you know it's going too far.
hmmm thanks for the spoiler
Yep, it would have been too pushed and IMO those guys inside Manatee were great as they were. There's no need to include every character from previous games to Tales, when they don't fit to the story and puzzles. Pointless cameos are unnecessary and I rather see new interesting characters.
Well, you can always bring the Men of Low Moral Fiber in Season 2
By the way... have you guys talked about bringing Largo back? What were your thoughts on that?
(Remind me to re-watch The Princess Bride sometime soon...)
np: Boards Of Canada - Seven Forty Seven (Warp20 (Unheard))
No, no. Jake was referring to the color count. The Men of Low Moral Fiber have a terribly high color count. There's no way the manatee could eat them!
P.S. Go watch The Princess Bride whilst you wait for Ch. 5.
yeah i would love to see Largo back, but he's got to be really mean and really brutal as he was back on scabb island in monkey island 2
But we've got to have some of that Men of Low Moral Fiber back, and some of that Largo. Mmm hmm. I need some largo and fiber in my diet.
I thought the EMI version wasn't that horrible, and who really cares about the retconning? It happens. I think it was a decent twist to the story even if it rewrites the story quite a bit. On the plus side, the voice acting was top-notch, and who didn't love that cut-scene with the sand drawings?-that's one of my favorite scenes in all MI games.
