** The motorcycle in ''Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned'' was supposed to be driven in a first person perspective. An arcade-style sequence where Gabriel escapes the Night Visitors, who pursue him as swarms of bats, was also planned, but eventually scrapped.

** The motorcycle in ''Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned'' was supposed to be driven in a first person perspective. An arcade-style sequence where Gabriel escapes the Night Visitors, who pursue him as swarms of bats, was also planned, but eventually scrapped. The notorious "cat mustache" puzzle was also never intended to be in the game, but Roberta Williams left the design team without telling anyone what she'd planned for that sequence, and the puzzle was the first one anyone could put together by the deadline to finish that part of the game.

* AllStarCast: While making the first ''Gabriel Knight'', everyone at Sierra probably stopped working when Creator/MarkHamill, Creator/TimCurry, Creator/MichaelDorn, Creator/MaryKayBergman, Creator/JimCummings, Creator/JeffBennett, Creator/EfremZimbalistJr and so many other stars stopped by their office to record their lines.

* GenreKiller: The infamous [[MoonLogicPuzzle "cat hair mustache" puzzle]] in ''Gabriel Knight 3'' [[http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/77.html is cited]] by Website/OldManMurray as one for adventure games as a whole. To be fair, though, they didn't consider ''Gabriel Knight'' to be a particular killer so much as a good case study for how the genre had embraced nonsensical "puzzles" and FakeDifficulty to the point of becoming utterly unapproachable nonsense [[GuideDangIt without the use of the strategy guides and game help hotlines]] these puzzles were most assuredly [[RevenueEnhancingDevices designed to sell]].
