What would you change in Heroes of Might and Magic IV?

... And you know the hero's appearance and also know what he's capable of :) Although that's a drawback, you're right. But again, in 3 and 5, this drawback doesn't hinder the gameplay. But if you do it the way I'm suggesting, then 4 will become more similar to the other parts... which might even be a good thing :) Or it might be a bad thing... Well, it depends on who you ask :) ;)
