I did some investigation using the
available community mod tools and it seems like this mysterious QGM folder was an attempt to fix typos and odd grammar (and in one instance of flavour text, retcon a locale) but the QGM files in question seem to be broken, causing crashes in more places than just character import. While they
export fine, the game hard crashes whenever it tries to load one of GOG's patched strings. For reference, I ran a compare in Notepad++ to see all the differences.

We could not import the character from that file. Make sure you are using a "character save" (about 100-300 bytes), not a saved game (over 40,000 bytes) from Quest for Glory 1-4.

When you click on an object in the belt that can be used, you will have that object attached to the hand. Click on a person to give or show the object to him. If the object is a weapon, clicking on a monster will attack it. Clicking an object on something in the room will use it on that something.

Cerberus #2 EDIT 2: Loading the improved models for both Devon and Elsa on that site prove that it's the QGM files provided with the GOG install that are the problem; GOG didn't break anything when they No-CD patched the game and made it run better on modern OSes - Devon and Elsa both look pretty good with the new models: about on par with the original PS1 Final Fantasy VIII, in fact. Either the community tools repack them badly and blow up the game like Erasmus when he loses, or someone messed something up.
EDIT: The forum automatically deleted multiple spaces. Know that the orignal 997.QGM had two spaces after Jon Bock.
