Heroes 6 - Discussion

By default? The only thing that can be considered default is that each person has their own preferences in certain matters. Nothing more.

Yes. Because the fifth installment brought many innovations and elevated the game to a new level, making it distinct from all other games in the series, just as Heroes 1-2-3-4 are distinct. If the sixth installment follows the same path, it will also result in a new game, but if it goes "back to the third," it will be a failure. That's the situation. I'm not saying that the third game is bad; I'm saying that repeating it will lead to failure.
