You are correct deathbringer. It doesn't feel very fair to compare LI and HOD because one is a first quest for an older zc version and the other one is a group project of 2 of the best quest creators around here. But I like comparing games so I do it anyway. XD
GRAPHICS
HOD doesn't look bad. It is just that it looks like every other Pure quest.
LI on the other hand is the best looking finished zc quest. The overworld could be prettier but I have no complaints.
Winner: LI
MUSIC
HOD had some fantastic midis but also some awful midis I couldn't stand so the overall score suffers because of that. Music in LI was more like a backround music but it didn't stand out in a good or a bad way which I guess was the intention. Let's just say that HOD had some better midis but overall the music in LI was more fitting to the quest.
Winner: LI
GAMEPLAY
This is a wide area to compare. I will just say that both had great puzzles, great new ideas and great overworlds. It's the dungeons that set these 2 quests apart. The dungeons in LI blow everything else out of the water I mean seriously people, the 4th level in LI alone is something so impressing that I I.......
Winner: LI
STORY
Neither had much of a story. Ok HOD had but but many times I was shaking my head at the cheesy lines and stupid jokes (diarrhea, lololol!!!) ugh. The story in LI progressed slowly but every time there was a cutscene I was clued to my chair. HOD had good presention too and the story wasn't bad but the stupidity of the story and jokes bothers me. I can't say which game I prefer story wise.
Winner: Tie
ENDING
The final battle in HOD was a cool idea but the battle dragged on too long and wasn't graphically impressive. And the ending cutscene well nothing really interesting happened during the ending. LI's ending on the other hand was great and exciting. Maybe not as awesome as MMDWR's ending but nonetheless very impressive and rewarding. And the little surprise at the ending! Haha! great idea guys!
Winner: LI
OVERALL
I'll just say this: HOD feels like a good custom quest. LI feels like a good GAME. Both are good quests however and both deserve praise for that little thing called effort alone.
