Isn't the world of Might and Magic fantasy?
No, not entirely.
Moving to another world is done to get rid of the baggage of the old plot, where all the epic battles have been repeated 10 times. And in the new world, you can do anything – repeat the old story in a new way, or introduce something original.
I think the situation is even more complicated here... The problem is that in the 4th part, the plot was somewhat led to a dead end (with the departure from the world of Enroth and the expansions with a plot not related to the main storyline), + the fact that the 4th game is not as widespread means that not many people know the storyline of the 4th game - and this is an entire link in the chain.
Epic battles haven't actually ended :) . In any case, you can come up with a lot of things.... I honestly think that the plot of the 4th game is also a kind of a hack job, but in my opinion, it could have been used as a starting point for the main epic.
My long-standing dream is a high-tech race B)
And here, technology is out of the question – no Varn and so on.

What annoys me is that they made Askhan a separate world in the new Might and Magic, and abandoned it, although there are no good reasons for it. Why couldn't Askhan be just another planet in the Might and Magic universe?
What are these dragon-gods for? How did they influence the plot? There are a lot of questions. Why create a new universe for one of the parts, instead of keeping it within the old one... unless they are going to release more games... like DMM&M and subsequent parts of Might and Magic.

Here's another thing about the plot:
Have you noticed how games now follow a template? If a character was good, they become evil; if they are a defender of good and justice, they will inevitably become maniacally obsessed; and if everything is fine with them, they will inevitably die a heroic death in a trap. If they were evil, they will switch to the light side, and at first, they will just be an outcast, and so on...
I already miss such simple, everyday characters as Catherine and Roland. :)

P.S. And despite everything, I am also (whatever awaits), grateful to them for the game.
LFB, don't take this as plagiarism
