The first Gabriel Knight game is traditional hand-drawn-style animation; the third is computer-generated skins (rather like Half-Life, if you've played that, or any of the shoot-em-ups). Both nice, but for my money neither approaches the sheer intensity of the second game, filmed on location using live actors. Gabriel Knight is played by the delightful Dean Erickson (the shorter, blonder, more casually dressed one), Friedrich von Glower by the delectable Peter Lucas (the stylish brunet). Here they are in screen-shots taken from the game:

The Meeting

Gabriel and Friedrich meet for the first time. (The man in the back is the hunt club doorman.)

Sharing Confidences

Gabriel and Friedrich drink and discuss life at Friedrich's house.

Gabriel Gets Drunk

More of the same as the last one, as Gabe grows tired. Can I just point out I that adore Friedrich's smoking jacket?

The Pair

Gabriel and Friedrich stand together in the hunt club lobby.

Friedrich in Hunt Attire

Friedrich, dressed for the hunt...

 

Friedrich in a Tux

...and the opera

Gabriel Sleeps

Gabriel, dressed in nothing. He "sleeps" as Friedrich watches.

Gabriel Awakens

Gabriel wakes in Friedrich's house and recalls the night before (with a huge smile, I might add).

 

Friedrich with Gun

Friedrich prepares to go after von Zell.

After the Hunt

Friedrich helps the wounded Gabriel (dressed in Friedrich's clothes, incidentally).
