Posts from Which installment of the Heroes series had the best campaign storyline for you?

Well, IMHO, the characters in the third and fourth games have much more developed personalities.

Strange, why can't I vote twice? I selected this option o_O

Secondly, Arch is worth all the characters from the third game, except perhaps Sandro and Craig, but Arch is one of my favorite characters in Might and Magic.

Voted for the second one. The plot is really good. And why aren't there any Chronicles? I recently played "Rebellion" and "Ice Blade" and I liked the development of the story. P.S. Please, don't start a long discussion here like "Chronicles don't fit, blah blah blah...":) :) :) And in general, Might and Magic 6 is awesome - a great plot.

Well, in the second game, the characters are not very well developed, except for the conversations between missions. And IMHO, Goldot the Undead is much more charismatic than many characters, not only in Heroes but in the entire M&M universe.

There are no Chronicles because it's essentially a separate game, and that's why. The poll would be too large.

Well, in the second game, the characters are hardly well-developed, except for the conversations between missions. And IMHO, Goldot the Undead is much more charismatic than many characters, not only in Heroes but in the entire M&M universe.

The undead can't be charismatic, even if they're half-dead...=))
Do you think if Petrosyan became a lich, he would be funnier and more charismatic?:)

No, but other liches will become so=)

No, but other liches will appear=)

How can a creature without vocal cords be charismatic at all?=)))

Well, Sandro knows how to do it=)

Well, Sandro is a different story. Magic probably clings to him like it does to Saruman from Lord of the Rings.

of course, Heroes 3!
There, heroes transitioned from one part to another (for example, Jelu, he was in both The Shadow of Death and Armageddon's Blade), and in general, the characters were the best in part 3... and the campaigns were interesting too!))

And in part 4, each campaign (The Gathering Storm, Winds of War) has new heroes...

I liked the third game the most – both in terms of gameplay and storyline!

Unfortunately, I didn't finish the campaigns in 2, because their only downside is that there are too many missions.:( It feels like you've climbed over a mountain, only for another one to appear on the horizon immediately. Also, the cutscenes are a bit sparse, and a cutscene is supposed to be a reward for the player!
That's why I like the campaigns from HoMM3:RoE the most. Firstly, it's the familiar M&M world and familiar heroes. Secondly, there's a noble and pure goal — fighting against fascis... I mean, against the occupiers of the Homeland.:smile04: And Song For The Father gives me actual chills — especially the final cutscene with Lord Haart' same punishment... such a piercingly dramatic plot.:smile25: As for the HoMM3 add-ons, I liked the campaigns less — in an attempt to outdo the original's own epic story, the authors over-hyperbolized the plot of AB, and in SoD, it's not so much the plot that' same good, but rather the innovations in the form of powerful combined artifacts... you get so caught up in how cool they are that you don't even think about the narrative threads anymore.

Goldot the Half-Dead.
A prime example for a not-so-dark overlord.

I like Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia – I remember the battles for Steadwick. Also, the last campaign in The Shadow of Death, and playing as Goldot the Half-Dead, were pretty good.

Intelligent undead can have a personality.
