Quest for Glory 3: The Wages of War (1992)
Quest for Glory 3: The Wages of War is a 1992 adventure video game made by Sierra On-Line.
The third Quest for Glory carries your hero to Tarna, a savanna kingdom inspired by African cultures, where two peoples edge toward a war neither side fully wants. Sierra's mix of role-playing and point-and-click puzzles continues as you build skills, explore jungle and grassland, and try to broker peace rather than simply swing a sword. The Coles researched the setting with real care, giving it a texture few fantasy games of the era attempted. Diplomacy matters as much as combat. Warm, curious, and a little more grown-up than the earlier chapters, it favors understanding over conquest.
