I loved them all but especially MM7, and played it several times. I think I bought Legacy a while back. If it's anything like the earlier games it'll be blast, Rowan. They were great games. Lots of humour, decent "character" development, lots of freedom.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

RPGwatch has a rather informative review about the game, link: http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/article?articleid=241 They like it very much, here a big chunk of the conclusion from the review: Overall, the game was fantastic, particularly for a budget title from a small developer. I had a blast playing the game and more than once found myself playing far longer than intended to do "just one more" map or quest. Limbic clearly has a passion for, and a deep understanding of, the factors that made the Might and Magic games classics. Throughout the development process, they listened to their core audience and actually made changes requested by the community. The game was released with no major bugs at all and even the trivial ones were promptly cleaned up via patch........ The game plays like a M&M game, with modern graphics and modern game mechanics (do we really pine for the days of needing graph paper to map, or even the days when there were in-game maps but they couldn't be annotated?). In a big callback to an easter egg from an earlier M&M game, there's a bonus dungeon that mimics the developer's offices. And a quote about the riddles and puzzles: There's puzzles and riddles. There's a variety of monsters to kill and a varied world to kill them in. While the world isn't MM6-huge (very few games are, after all), it never feels small. There's character development out the wazoo. Simply put, Might and Magic Ten: Legacy can wear the Might and Magic mantle with pride, unlike that game released after MM8 which won't be named in polite company. Limbic got it right, folks. It's just plain fun to play. If you enjoyed the M&M series or the Wizardry series back in the day, quit dithering and buy the game. Trust me on this one. A quote about if you need to have played the other MM games: There's no requirement to have previous experience with the M&M franchise. While I do think old farts such as yours truly will have a greater appreciation for the game and be able to glory in a heaping helping of nostalgia while playing, there's plenty for newcomers to like. The game stands up well on its own merits.
Adventure gaming is fun

I usually have a cleric type who can wield a mace to Mastery or GM (cant remember if GM is possible). Clerics and mages have quite different specializations and the GM spells for each are amazing, depending on which path you take.
Actually, I might start up a game, since the new Thief is meh and I'm still stuck in Witcher.

Argh. Again with the problems. For some reason I can't log in to Ubisoft/Uplay. It keeps telling me my internet connection doesn't work.

Hagatha, did you contact Ubisoft support? A quick google turned up several threads of others with problems (though they were using PS4).

L4L, I have tried getting help, but it looks as though these pleas for help largely get ignored.
Interestingly, my keyboard would barely work while I was just on the Uplay website. I had to literally punch down on the keys to have letters show up in my post. And I uninstalled Uplay, thinking perhaps a new install would help, but now I can't download it. It's as if the download link doesn't register that I am clicking on it.
I am seriously ticked off. This was supposed to be my day for gaming, and it's already 3 o'clock. Just fed up.

Hagatha, that is too irritating for words. Do you want to post in Glitches just to see if the techie folks there can help.

That's strange, hagatha. I have had that (not with this game) where I get a message of no connection even though I am connected. I found that the next day something has reset itself and it fixed itself over night. You probably didn't want to hear this. It happened a couple of times on Steam.

Sigh. It's been a rough day. BUT I now have a fully functional computer WITH Uplay working and I've got a game of MMX Legacy started. It's a bit different from the later MM games, which had a bit more freedom of movement. This game is strictly played on squares. Still, as long as it has those flashes of trademark silly humour and all the loot and other stuff, it should be fun. So far I have cleaned out the Spiders and am headed for the lighthouse.

It's because they went back to the Might and Magic 4 feel of grid movement, instead of keeping the freedom movement from the later games.
