    Winslow, Anemone, Morgan and de Cava. And, I might add, no one else from the first season except the usual Threepy, Plunderbunny, Stan and the voodoo lady (not even G.P. LeChuck). Well, maybe someone who hasn't been named a "character" yet, but definitly belongs in that realm: By the pirate god, please let the "Screaming Narwhal" return!

    Winslow:
    It's so nice to have another ally Guybrush can count on. The character has a lot of potential, let's flesh him out a little more...

    Anemone:
    Almost no one voted for her. Is that due to her stupid stereotypical behaviour in the last episode? She was pretty cool in TSoSC, and she's with Winslow, sooo...

    Morgan:
    Unfinished business! It's obvious she has a few scenes left in her, dead or not.

    de Cava:
    Same as Morgan. His story is just not complete. He has to face the voodoo lady first and reclaim his long-lost love!

    the "Screaming Narwhal":
    I loved the idea of a ship patched together from whatever parts one could find on Flotsam Island. I think the idea was nicely continued and toyed with when Threepwood found a new mast for his ship in the second episode, but later, very unfortunately, forgotten. I want this continued until the entire ship is perfect patchwork. Let's include a pool for Anemone and patch up the sail with Stan's coat, and, and...

    ...let us finally enter that d*** door!

    And one last word concerning LeChuck: He's double-dead now, could we please get rid of him, pretty please? I find it annoying to kill him in every game. Let's do something fresh for MI6 / Season 2!

    By Santino I'm just wondering do you mean the murray "Santino" :P? I always love Murray's brief cameos.

    And the boatman would be cool to see again. I'm just wondering, in the game did we ever find out if the boatman was the Lost Welshman from CMI? I'm still in the middle of replaying the games to find all the things I missed, so pardon me if theres an obvious answer to that question.

    I voted for Winslow :winslow: Santino and Galeb.
  • edited December 2009
    Morgan, De Singe, Galeb, Bugeye, Santino, and uh...Winslow.

    I think I speak for a lot of us when I say, only bring back those that serve the story. Too much of a good thing is bad, and trying to force things can also be bad; so can having things just for the sake of it. Examples of each respectively: Freddy Kruger, the Monkey Island chapter in Escape,Jar Jar Binks (he was just there for the sake of showing off the technology, or that's what Episode One told me and I never bothered to see the others).

    and once again it´s between Morgan and Winslow :p
  • edited December 2009
    I only voted for characters that could easily be integrated into a new season. Winslow could easily stay on as Guybrush's first mate, and Morgan's role is obviously not played out yet. I also voted for McGillicutty, who I'd like to see a bit more of. He could be reintroduced as a minor villain, having managed to escape from the ocean floor. Finally, I think Grindstump could make a return as a barkeep. He did that very well, and I wouldn't mind seeing him running a fine establishment again, even if on some other island.

    It would be very surprising if Winslow and Morgan DIDN'T return. Obviously, if Winslow comes back then there must at least be a few references to Alemonade, while the Pyrite Parrot would be an ideal sidekick for Morgan (as she herself spots when Guybrush tries to bribe her with it).
  • edited December 2009
    There are no characters I would be desperate to see again. Whereas in previous games I was always very glad to see Stan, Wally, Pirates of low moral fiber..etc

    Nipperkin would be a good character (needs retconning though) to bring back.

    I would personally NOT like to see more of Morgan or De Singe.
  • edited December 2009
    To be honest I don't feel there to be a great need for any minor characters from the new games revisiting. Maybe Morgan could be used, I'm not a huge fan of her but she's got a good enough character to return I suppose.
    Winslow has the possibility of a return but I don't really see the point of him. He would just end up as a pointless filler to save the day when nothing else can be thought of.

    Edit: BRING BACK BLOOD ISLAND!
  • edited December 2009
    I agree with Asgath - I'd love to see Blood Island again, or at least revisit some previous Monkey Island locations in glorious 3D (not EMI because... because... they're... uh, already in 3D? ...yeah...). Griswald Goodsoup was by far my favourite character in CMI.

    On the topic of Tales characters, I would quite like to see the return of Winslow, Morgan and Galeb. I think Galeb is far too resourceful to be left alone in the Crossroads, plus I imagine it's pretty lonely there now that LeChuck has stopped slaughtering people.

    Well, I kinda hope it'll always be Guybrush and LeChuck going at it. It's been that way 'till now, and I don't see it changing. And why would it? I think the dynamic of these two chasing each other is a very valuable aspect of the series. Would be like Tom and Jerry without Tom.

    But I do like the fact that ToMI presented a darker, much more ambiguous, and mysterious side of the Voodoo Lady. She'll never be a flat out villain, but I like that they are starting to question her methods.

    As much as I love TTG's Monkey Island series I much rather have Lucas Arts come up with their own characters than use TTG's if there was another Monkey Island game (6)...After all they really don't make it a habit to reuse characters in any Monkey Island game. Here and there, yes but more than not they have a whole brand new beautiful cast with a few reoccurring supporting characters. Winslow is one of the few that would make any remote sense to reoccur...
  • edited December 2009
    Yeah Winslow all the way :winslow:

    Also Morgan and I like Bugeye as well, the making-faces part had me giggling coz of the wonky eyes and the mouth wide open, yes I know childish but what can I say :p

    Also Largo as well from MI2. :eek:

    Morgan and Winslow are the only characters that I feel we need to see again.

    Though I'm also very partial to Moose! He was part of what I consider to be the funniest moment in the entire Season, so it'd be great to see him again!
  • edited December 2009
    I only voted for Morgan and Winslow. All I really want from season two, is Guybrush, Morgan and Winslow sailing the high seas is search of an incredibly valuable and powerful item. Something like that.
  • edited December 2009
    I voted for McGillicutty, that guy is one awesome evil pirate.
  • edited December 2009
    Looks like Morgan and Winslow are the defaults, they're on my list too. And once Winslow is in, we need Anemone as well, don't we? :D

    My last vote went to Bugeye - he was as good a thug as it gets. Too bad he was destined to be a secret wussy by the writers :(

    TOP 5
    Winslow - 97
    Morgan - 97
    Galeb/Nor Treblig - 35
    Santino - 34
    The Pyrite Parrot - 33
  • edited December 2009
    None please
  • edited December 2009
    Winslow. Definitely. :winslow:

    Morgan. Hopefully, and I feel quite sure she will return.

    Pyrite Parrot and DeSinge. Hopefully, if they can be appropriately written in.

    Anemone. Otherwise poor Winslow will be lonely!

    De Cava. He's not one of my favourite characters but I think he could be given an interesting and possibly important role in MI6 due to the Voodoo Lady's character development, and his previous connection with her.
  • edited December 2009
    Much as I liked the Pyrite Parrot, I doubt it will return. I think it's safe to say that NO ONE who died in Tales (not counting Guybrush or LeChuck) will return, with the notable exception of Morgan Le Flay.

    Winslow, Morgan and Nipperkin, just because everybody seems really to hate him.
  • edited December 2009
    Krebbs. I would love to know more of her backstory (she was the one after Guybrush Q threepwood, right?)
  • edited December 2009
    Winslow and Pyrite Parrot (or some form of it) I'd like to see return. Anemone might be nice for small cameos due to Winslow being there. I don't care if Morgan returns or not, though I'm sure she probably would. I also find Grindstump and Bugeye to be really amusing characters and wouldn't mind some sort of Pirates of Low Moral Fiber-like cameo from them. I'm also really interested to find out what happens with De Cava, for some reason. It's just so unsatisfying to see him obsess so much over Voodoo Lady and then not really re-unite or communicate with her in some way at the end. Santino would probably just get some running gags of having his name mentioned in several places, but that's it.
