Simple they were but you got one wrong.  The first one.  (Though your answer may technically be right, this is going off of the answers in the game).

Okay, let me know when you get tired of these.

1. Be you ever so quick, with vision keen,
    By your eyes, we are never seen.
    Unless perchance, it should come to pass,
    You see our reflection in a looking glass.

2. A precious gift, this, yet it has no end or beginning,
    And in the middle nothing.

3. Silently he stalks me, running as I run,
    Creeping as I creep, dressed in black
    He disappears at night, only to return with the sun.

Very good.  Okay, three more:

1. The light one breaks but never falls.
   His brother falls but never breaks.

2. You see it about in field and town,
    It cannot get up, but will oft fall down.

3. Though easy to spot, when allowed to plume
    It is hard to see, when held in a room.

CLOSE!  That's VERY CLOSE.  However, that's not QUITE the answer to the riddle...

Okay, the two answers I got are correct.  That last one still has to be solved since a new one is brought up.

I'm somewhat wondering if everyone has the game already...  Oh well, here's a few of them:

1. Four legs in front, two behind.
Its steely armor scratched and
Dented by rocks and sticks
Still it toils as it helps feed
The hungry.

2. Though not a plant, has leaves.
Though not a beast, has spine.
Though many wouldn't need this thing,
'Tis more valuable than wine.

3. The chill of its death,
You may soon mourn.
But though it dies,
It cannot be born.

*Sigh* I was really hoping they wouldn't be taken that quickly...

One pace to the North.
Two paces to the East.
Two paces to the South.
Two paces to the West.
One pace to the North.

Wow!  That was FAST!

Okay, here's one that may take more time:

You remove and throw away the outside and cook the inside.  Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside.

What is it?

Here's one that came from a game but I think it may be interesting.

"Brought to the table, cut and served, never eaten."

Hmm... I get "hoo."  Maybe it's an owl?

Well, since no one seems to be interested in this topic anymore I'll give the answer to the riddle:

Spoiler

Genie!  There were two genies seen by Graham (the father), the first in King's Quest 2 where it was helpful by granting needed items, the second in King's Quest 5 where he was just mean, "Ahh freedom at last, now you spend the next 500 years in a bottle!"  Then Alexander (the son) saw a genie Shamir Shamazel, who was mostly bad due to him following the orders of Alhazred but can be made good by Alexander.  However, neither Rosella nor Valanice ever saw a genie in their games.

[close]

That depends on your point of view.  This one could just as easily be considered a "who" rather than a "what" but really and truly that depends on your point of view.  It's not inanimate but it's not exactly personable either.

Nope.  Even if you consider the gnomes to be the same, there was never a time where he was mostly bad or just mean.  Typically, he'd been helpful, if only a little rude.

Nope.

Again, this is only something you can find in the King's Quest series of games.  Think of something that King Graham and Prince Alexander have run into but not Rosella and Valanice.

Well, I'm not ready for this thread to die just yet so here's an older riddle I made based on the King's Quest Series:

Three Times Have I Been Seen,
Once I was Helpful,
Once I was Mostly Bad,
Once I was Just Mean.
Never Seen by the Daughter or Mother,
But Twice I Have Been Seen by the Father,
And Once Have I Been Seen By the Son.

What am I?

It's already been solved.  It was just some dumb riddle by the Riddler in "Batman the Movie."  The answer was: A sparrow with a machine gun.

Mostly, it had been part of a two-part riddle: "What does a turkey do when it's upside down?"
Answer: It gobbles up.

So the question became, "What gobbles up a sparrow?"
Answer: Cat.

Meaning that there was Catwoman.

ThreeOhFour got it.  As I said, this wasn't my riddle just one I read in a book years ago.

As for his riddles: I can guess that the second one is "foul" or "fowl" depending on how you write the word, it can be offensive.

My last post was not a riddle, I just was trying to rekindle people's interest in this topic due to no one trying to answer the three.

If you want a "new" riddle, here's one that I got somehwere else but I don't know how popular it is:

Two fathers and two sons went fishing.  When they caught three fish, each one had a fish so they left happy.  Explain the situation.

Getting back to the topic...

I guess: the head.

The worst thing about this riddle, and most riddles, is it's a play on words.

True, this is a play on words.  However, I don't think I'll ever find a riddle as bad as the 1970's Batman Riddler riddle:

"What weighs 5 oz, lives in a tree and is dangerous?"
