Haven't yet done the thief playthrough in Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok[1], so I started that tonight. Did the fighter playthrough when I first got it, seven some odd years ago or so, and more recently did a mage playthrough within the past couple years or so.
During the first audience with the Jarl, after I surprisingly didn't get immediately thrown into prison after openly admitting to being a thief and a "stealer of money," I said no to accepting the main quest. The Jarl said something like "You're at the start of an adventure game, and you're saying no to the main quest? You might as well be playing Tetris instead." Upon saying no a second time, it literally loads up a game of Tetris.

I had no idea that was a thing until now. (Fourth wall breaks like that are very few and far between in this game, which is a good thing, but still, that was pretty funny.)
In any case, if you haven't tried this game yet, you totally should. Great homage to the Quest for Glory games. And, it's completely free to play. I don't know why it's free, as it's good enough to, you know, not be free, but it's free, so... yeah. (There is this, if you do want to "pay" for it. I don't recall ever seeing this before...I may actually get this later already did.)
[1] - Which I was dead certain I had posted about on here before now, but apparently not, since I couldn't find the post. At least, it was not in either of the "game recommendations" or "games with potential" tags like it should have been, anyway. Probably only posted about it on Facebook, back when I still had Facebook. Meh. -_-
