What is your opinion about Heroes IV?

And if it's just the beginning of the game and there are no necessary skills or a decent guild, then you have to choose only a brute-force hero, like a Barbarian:( Or an archer:(

Why? I can easily complete the game with a Druid, as well as a Mage, but I hate Barbarians because they don't have magic:mad:
P.S. And in general, I completed the campaign with a Druid.
