Absolutely correct.
I also don't understand the appeal of rushing through a map along the shortest route to the castle, without seeing anything or properly developing the hero... After all, in Heroes 5, they don't even give a rating for speedrunning, so why deprive yourself of the pleasure of a thorough and inquisitive playthrough?:smile01:
I agree! "True heroes always take the long way!" :smile01: Of course, if you set yourself the goal of speedrunning purely for your own enjoyment, then maybe there's some appeal in that! But otherwise, I also like to explore each map thoroughly!
