Might&Magic 6-7-8 and pure real-time combat. Possible?

[theverybigslayer]

I always play M&M using only turn-based combat. Are they playable to the end by only using real-time combat? Has anybody played this way here?

 

[Andhaira]

No.

 

[Durwyn]

I played it TB when the fight was hard and it needed some tactical sense. When I was pwning hordes of low level mobs I always used real time.

 

[DaveO]

Yes, it's fully possible to play and win the game using just turn-based combat. Once you get the sci-fi weapons, most people spam the attack key and with the very rapid fire of the guns any opposition will likely get crushed quickly.

 

[Fowyr]

Possible. Turn base in M&M6-8 too clumsy for frequent use. Hard fights - yes, sniping with spells - yes, summoning meteor strike - YES. TB very useful, but not absolutely necessary.

He's asking if its possible to do it via playing REAL TIME only.

Its possible I guess, but very frustrating. Especially against powerful mobs.

ive done it 2-3 times, and its quite doable in my view.

the very first time i played it i missed the part about pressing enter to enable turn-based, so i thought you could only play it real-time.

it was hard at some parts like in dungeons where you ran out of space to back up to while firing arrows and spells.

This is so epic as I didn't discover the Town Portal scroll in Diablo1 so I didn't use it.
When my big Diablo-fan friend had heard about this he fainted and died.

Thx for the replies.

i gave myself a scare the first time i accidently discovered it too, since i wasnt prepared for that damn fanfare. :D

Re: Might&Magic 6-7-8 and pure real-time combat. Possibl

I never got past Castle Darkmoor (bloody floating eyes) in M&M VI using real-time combat.
(I've never finished this game, nor touched it in years)

I finished M&M VII using only real-time combat, sideing with the forces of good.

Had trouble towards the end (space, the final frontier) but it is possible.

M&M VIII, never even tried this.

 

[elenai]

mm8 is quite easy. Just invest everthing to dragon skill.

 

[DaveO]

Dragons are definitely one of several things broken in MM8 for character design. Having characters with specific skills was definitely a dumbing down, although the series as a whole has been that way past the Xeen games. I'm hoping Ubisuck forgets that they could make an RPG with the M&M license they got from the 3DO firesale.

 

[Wyrmlord]

Suchy claims he played the whole game only pressing A in real-time mode.
