I think that was when you were stuck in a prison with a high window. The typical exchange was: # say to Gandalf "carry me" GANDALF says no. GANDALF goes east. # wait You wait. Time passes... # wait You wait. Time passes... ...hoping that Gandalf would show up later and be in a more cooperative mood. Maybe I was just stuck in a mindset of adventure games having exactly one solution. Reading about this game, The Hobbit seems to be even more sophisticated than I'd assumed.
