SCI: QFG1EGA: Won't Die from Kobold Treasure Trap Explosion

Reported by: ArthurWalden Owned by: sluicebox
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCI
Version: Keywords: original
Cc: ArthurWalden Game: Quest for Glory 1

Description

I am using ScummVM version 2.9.0.

In Quest for Glory 1 (EGA), the explosion from the kobold treasure's trap won't kill you. It just leaves you alive at 0 health.

I am playing the GOG version of the game.

I am running the game on Windows 11 Home, version 24H2.

This is indeed a script bug, but it is original behavior that is out of scope for what we will change. More details: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=SCI/Script_Patching_Scope

There are multiple places in this game where you can end up with health 0, such as #9646. Most of them are due to missing code that is too much to patch in even if we wanted to. "That's QFG, folks!"

Additionally, "ScummVM kills you quicker than the original" is not a fun or worthwhile feature.
