“Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East”

I'm playing as Elves, I upgraded "Luck of the Road," but it didn't work until I took "Soldier's Luck." And that's at level 5 or higher.

And they criticized the skill wheel for no reason – the skills that appear most often are exactly the ones you want to upgrade. My Arantir, thanks to the abundance of useful skills, already resembles an impenetrable killing machine by level 24 (sorry for the pun)...

I'm playing as Winrael, level 29, and the ultimate ability is just awful: sometimes it gives something useless, and sometimes it gives two of what's needed at once. Navigating the new skill wheel requires a different approach.

I agree about the "Hive," it was too small even for level 3.

There are plenty of Ranger set artifacts; they could have added the "Phoenix Cloak." And the Quiver is a good item, especially when the cart is destroyed.
