...is on sale on Steam.

I have never played any of this series so this is a first for me. I'll probably have many questions when I get started. I know there are a lot of fans of this series out there.

I hope you have fun with it. I have played Might and Magic 4 and 5 (World of Xeen), and Might and Magic 6. I thought they were very enjoyable. I'll look forward to hearing what you think of Legacy. wave

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.

wave Yes, please let us know! That's the only one I haven't played. I have 6 through 9 loaded on my computer, and so ready for another one! Might & Magic 6 and 7 are my favorite! luck

I bought the deluxe edition of MMX and it included MM6. Does it matter which order I play the games?

No, it shouldn't matter; you don't need to play them in order. wave

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:

Quote:
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:

Quote:
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:

Quote:
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.

No, not right now. I have a ton of games (litterally, I fear!); I have also have a ton of work to do, both for my job and at home.

I've started Legacy. I'm enjoying it but am still at the point where I am getting used to the controls. I hope I made a strong enough party. I have a tank, another almost tank, an archer mage combo, and I'm a human with a little bit of everything.

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.

I've got a Barbarian orc with a two-handed mace, a Druid elf with a bow, a Defender dwarf a sword and shield, and I'm a Mercenary human with a bow and sword. All of us except the barbarian have at least one spell to fall back on. So far I'm surviving, sometimes barely.

Sounds like fun, Rowan. Keep us posted about your progress. "Barely surviving" describes me very well in most RPGs. lol

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. smashpc

It happened a couple of times on Steam.

Sigh. tired

It's been a rough day. smashpc

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.

Not so difficult but feels a bit unnatural. You get used to it.

Hagatha, I just finished the lighthouse quest last night and the boss fight is difficult. Do as many of the other quests first if you can. And go on a shopping spree for health and mana potions before the last floor of the lighthouse. My barbarian survived with just one single point left on his health bar. eek

Hagatha, so glad you got it working. What did you have to do? luck

Rowan, glad your barb survived. Is there an achieve for surviving with so little health?
