Isn't the essence of driving about the experience, not the car itself?
Both the driving experience and the car matter. The original Heroes games offer both a great driving experience and a great car.
Some people might choose to drive an old Lada out of principle, repairing it every week, while others are willing to pay for comfort and extra features. And if you don't have to pay...
The thing is, a car that constantly needs repairs is like an HD mod. It's new, but you need to understand what kind of metal modern cars are made of. There's no comparison with the metal used in old Soviet cars.
I remember playing some big campaign as a kid, and then the game started crashing in the late stages. What's the fun in that?
There are patches to prevent the game from crashing. NWC no longer makes them, but Heroes fans do. They can be included in the HD mod (and there are many of them), but the HD mod is not just patches; it also introduces new bugs, as I said...

No. Without the "+" (blue), the terrain is exactly the same as the original. With the "+" (red), the terrain is different.
That's what I thought. The non-original random number generator is used in HD+
