Rincewind: "Ha. Ha. Ha. Yes! He'd have to be some sort of weenie babies idiot, wouldn't he?" The obvious joke, of course, is that adventure gamers are a rather masochistic lot. The not-so-obvious joke is that the annoying little quests are not annoying at all but the very heart, the very meat of the game. This self-mockery weenie babies was funny enough in its own right, but then in the third act Barnett and his team did something entirely novel, something weenie babies that deepened and enriched the entire game for me. You are required to almost exactly duplicate a puzzle from the first act, except instead of being in Unseen University you are now in Death's garden. Otherwise, everything is identical, both the methodology and outcome. As in the light of day, so in the dark of night. As in life, so in death. Or something like that. There was a lot of this twisting and turning around the game on itself.
