There will be bosses.
And I wouldn't mind a creature portal, like in the fourth game. Or a super-unit for each castle. It could be hired once a month or once per game, but only after building the Tear of Ashera.

In World of Xeen, I played for about an hour a couple of years ago. And I suggest not just an eighth-level unit, but an ultimate-super-puper unit, like the Dragon King in the fourth game, only even bigger and tougher. You could choose between this awesome unit or a normal army. As for the balance... in King's Bounty, they struggled with the bosses.
Although, it's a silly idea that has a 99.9% chance of not being implemented.

And double-check the fourth game, seriously. There's enough good stuff there for ten games.

Ah... this is what I dream of, really - in terms of purely gameplay features - is (ATTENTION! A revolutionary and crazy idea) abandoning the "doll" system - so you have 8 or 10 slots, you can put 10 swords in them if you find them, or a balanced outfit, or a set of 6 items and two useful features for it...

Well, that's how it was in the first and second games. No dolls, just two rows of slots for artifacts.
In my opinion, this system isn't very good. Although, on the one hand, it's more convenient, because, for example, if you need to turn a mage into a damage dealer, you just give him a bunch of weapons for attack.

Ah... this is what I've been dreaming about, and here it is - from a purely gameplay perspective - is to get rid of the "doll" system - so you have 8 or 10 slots, you can put 10 swords in them if you find them, or a balanced outfit, or a set of 6 items and two useful features for it...
And yes, realism can go away - but what realism is there in fantasy, what are you even talking about?

I'm playing Morrowind, before that I replayed both Knights of the Old Republic, before that I spent a year on Oblivion... You can't say that to someone who has an overdose of RPGs)))

I also love RPGs, and I'm all for this approach!

Changing the appearance... is technically difficult, for the most part. And the element of surprise is lost, which is more important, IMHO.

Come on. Is it really that hard for everyone else, but difficult for them? Well, let them try harder then.

In TES, weapons have a colored aura. If you see a fire damage aura, it's hard to tell whether it deals one hit point of damage or one hundred and one. You could create models not for each artifact specifically, but for the property it possesses. It might not be as cool, but it would be more confusing for the enemy.
You might object, saying that in Disciples, equipment was displayed on the hero's model. Well, in Disciples, it simply increased the stats, and each hero had unique sets that couldn't be worn by others.

P.S. Teng, are you trying to get me to create a Luke avatar for myself? :3
