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

I won't say anything original; on the contrary, I feel like I'm just repeating what everyone else has said – when you're playing, the graphics don't matter. Ask me how the spearmen move, and I won't be able to tell you, but I do know that they're stronger than hobbits :). On the other hand, the graphics are important – it's not enjoyable to play the first Might and Magic games precisely because of the "childish" graphics (this is just my personal opinion).
