Essential improvements
Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire Unofficial Remake
A complete and free remake of the game, it adds new VGA style graphics, an updated Point-and-Click UI, and a complete soundtrack.
It can be found here.
Import patch
The GOG.com version has problems importing characters from Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be a Hero (the character will always be identified as a fighter, even if he's not actually one). There was an official patch for this issue.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings). - ↑ 2.0 2.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (502750) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
