Did the graphics of Heroes 3 not deter you from wanting to play?

The graphics in the third game are decent. I personally really like the elemental castle – the bright, cheerful colors and beautiful buildings are pleasing to the eye. For 2D graphics, it's very good, although I personally sometimes wish the colors were a bit more vibrant... (like a little girl). But overall, I agree with Paladin – graphics aren't the most important thing; what matters most is that the game is interesting, and the third Heroes game is exactly that ;)
