Here's the plot of Might and Magic VIII: even if it's not the best, it's still decent!

"How greed turns people/elves/dwarves/goblins into pawns in the game of the Great Old Ones."

And also, "How the greed for knowledge turns the Great Old Ones into pawns (Magnus)/victims (Archibald) of alien Great Old Ones":)

The sixth installment is incredibly tedious and lacks variety.

How could you say that!:smile51: :smile51: :smile51:

Wow, what a way to put it!:smile51: :smile51: :smile51:

No problem :) Where are the races? In the entire M&M series, there were many races to choose from! There are pointless skills, unnecessary spells, a whole bunch of useless NPCs, and entire herds of monsters filling 80% of the map space, forcing you to hide for a long time to avoid getting hit.

I'm not saying that part 6 is bad! I played it for 3 years myself (although I eventually cracked it). But compared to part 7, it seems pale to me :rolleyes: I have absolutely no desire to play it again.

And all of this (although I'll argue about it later when I have time) doesn't relate to the plot - Fallout also had a lot of unnecessary skills, but the level of world-building and the ability to immerse yourself in it are much more important, IMHO!
In the 7th game, the skills and magic system were better developed, I'

In 7, the skills and magic system were better developed, I'll be the first to admit that, but... the plot and game world are more interesting in 6.
Well, I have to admit that the plot of part 7 is derivative because of the quest with the Krigans. Searching for mega-blasters and shooting alien devils again - it's a very blatant self-repeat.

But the step with choosing a side, which affects the plot SO much - that is 100% progress!!! :smile03:

the game world is more interesting in the 6th installment.

The game world is the same in all games of the M&M series.

the plot of the 7th part is unoriginal due to the quest with the Krigans. Again, searching for mega-blasters and shooting alien devils - it's too blatant self-repetition.

I don't understand the phrase. What does "the plot is unoriginal due to the quest with the Krigans"

I didn't understand the phrase. What does "the plot is secondary because of the Krigan quest" mean? The Krigan quest is a very important part of the plot in M&M and Heroes.
What's not to understand here? Another same-old slaughter of Krigans is not good. It's a good thing that in Part 8, you don't have to mince poor demons with blasters. I know that Krigans are an integral part of the main plot of the M&M world, but surely a visit to them could have been implemented in some other way than just another invasion of their base with blasters in hand.

No, the world's history is the same in all parts (or rather, it's a common thread), but the world itself is different, as it was created differently by the developers. If we take a hypothetical M&M6.5 game (:D) that consists of playing through one map with one quest and compare it to M&M7, then although the universe of both games will be the same, the game world will be significantly different.
So, in M&M6, it is much more detailed, in my opinion.

Slonysh, the events of M&M 6-8 take place on the same planet, Enroth, but on different continents. Mugaes, this was part of the main storyline of M&M 7. Castor and Resarrectra didn't want to leave the Kreegans behind. After the defeats with the help of blasters in M&M 6-7, only weakened remnants of the Kreegans remained - Inferno, which was commanded by Lucifer Kreegan III. They were finished off in Armageddon's Blade. And in M&M 8, there was Escaton, and after his death, the situation for the Kreegans becomes very favorable in the war with the Ancients.

I kind of know that they take place on the same planet.:smile07:

I think Might and Magic 7 and 8 are the best. I prefer 7 because of the choice of factions (something new), and 8 because of the ability to change your character's build during the game.

Generally, I like the plot of the 7th game more, although the 6th and 8th games, along with Dark Messiah, are also good... but I'll say this: the 9th game has a terrible plot, but the graphics are decent compared to the other parts.
