We rode them out of the kingdom to freedom, while the song “Storybook Love” played on the soundtrack. When the song ended, so did the quest. The horses and the other characters vanished and my avatar’s appearance returned to normal. I found myself standing alone outside the quest portal I’d originally entered, on the eastern shore of the kingdom of Guilder. A chime sounded and a message appeared on my HUD, congratulating me on completing the Princess Bride quest with a perfect score of one million points.
But what about the framing narrative in The Princess Bride??? Why doesn’t Wade have to go be little Fred Savage talking to his grandpa if he’s getting a perfect score in this movie? You can’t spend over a page reciting the Princess Bride exactly, then expect us not to notice when you veer from the script.
Update: he mentions later that you play through the movie as different characters, so it ends wherever that character’s story ends. I still feel robbed of the grandpa scene, though.
