Heroes of Might and Magic V [Game Discussion]

Changes are not all the same. You can change things in a way that preserves continuity, or you can change nothing at all and still lose continuity. The approach is important here. Mentions of old names in the new universe are just a lazy oversight that they couldn't be bothered to fix. Can you imagine watching a movie about World War II, and they start talking about Alexander the Great! Is that continuity of wars?! In Heroes of Might and Magic V, carelessness is evident everywhere. I'm not talking about the technical side, as that has already been discussed extensively. But when creating a story, you either need to create something new or continue someone else's work, rather than creating something that seems new but is actually designed to sell better under someone else's name. It's simply inappropriate in the end.
