Did Dicken & Co have it too easy?
-
I was thinking the same thing!
They Had to have had a winner in Sersie 4 due to the hardness of Series 3 and therefore making serise 3 next to impossible to win. (The two teams that got to the "stain glass room" in level 3 on seirse 3 got killed off due to the difficultly of the questions they got asked) I am sure if Leo's team and Martin's team where in this serise and not the prevous they would have won.
Dicken did do well in the Corridor of Blades and if Treguard didn't suggest they lie for the information they wont have thought of that.
They were a good team though, maybe had it a tad bit easy.

To be honest, a lot of S4 was a bit easy. Unlike S3, there really wasn't a whole lot in Level 1 to bother teams. As you say, in this quest and in others the choice of items was seemingly easier too. I bet the teams who missed out on advancement- or likely victory, in two cases- in S3 might have enjoyed the general true/false questions of S4.
On this specific quest, I can see the point. There wasn't a huge amount of thinking to do in a lot of cases. It was usually obvious which item to use in any situation. As you right say, when they do need to think- Dooreen's questions and the Transporter pad, for example- they do so well. And when they're required to be quick, they are- the first part of Ariadne's lair, the Corridor of Blades. Their general guiding is quick, clear and decisive.
But it would be nice to see what they'd have done with a few more challenges.

^ Oh yeah lol
But i do agree, but looking at the way they did beat the very few hard tasks im sure they could have beating a harder challenge.. In fact most of level 3 was easier then level 2, the quest as a whole seemed like it was missing something.. but i think all theses early quests were like that.. at i think it was the lack of story line,
Anyway that evil queen woman should have become more of a challenge she didn't come across as being much of a danger and sounded way to soft.
Just to add.. Wan't the life force slowed down during that drinking part? im sure they was not about the allow the team to die because of this after they finished off the evil queen?
-
Like I said, they wanted a winner, because of the difficultly of serise 3, they didn't want to put people off from applying if someone didn't win serise 4, not saying the exactly let them win, but it did seem slightly more easier then say the previous ones, maybe it was the team that made it look easy though?
-
i think series 4 was the easiest of the lot. of the eight teams, 3 got to level 3, 1 won, and the rest at level 2. The first team did well, but all the hard work was for nothing due to their stupidity in using a longer spell against Mogdread. The team after were just too slow for the coridoor in level 3 (hellooooooo, it's a corridoor of blades, like we need to be quick, not just side-stepping as if there's nothing there.) The last team, would have won if they got a bit more of a shorter route, due to the season end.
So, to sum it up, It's harsh to say dicken had it easy, I think they just handled it better than anyone else.
-
mmm...I agree, they handled it very well, but I think that, to an extent, their talents were wasted. The challenges just weren't....challenging enough. I'd have liked to see them struggle through alot more adversity before winning. At the very LEAST they could have gotten some hard questions....hell, a Backwards Riddling Confus-athon with Merlin would have spiced up the proceedings a bit...
-
I agree that dickon's team might have had it a little easier but i reckon they could have taken a harder quest easily - they impressed me quite alot. great team work and communication. especially where they agreed to pladge to malice "for the time being" most would have given a straight yes or no answer at this point(probably no which would have gotten them killed)
there were other incedinces where they showed this level of skill.
one thing tho. didnt they use the horn TWICE. once for the goblins and again for fatila. is this not against the rules?
-
well, i suppose since they didn't give it away or use it up in anyway it would have been quite silly for the horn to disappear. bleh, im sure you'lll throw loads of other examples of when this has happened right back at me
well, maybe they were allowed due to having to carry hordriss' bottle?
-
yeah i pointed out the horn thing a few days ago.. i really think that was a cheat.. all other objects that was used they lost.
little note about the current team who just died.. im pretty sure they could have used that hour glass during the Block and Tackle ?
-
Dickens team had a good quest malice was quite harsh with them always chasing it would have been better qith mogdred tho!!!
