Might and Magic Might & Magic X - Legacy

[Resurectra]

It would also be nice if stores/shops/houses were explorable like the older MM games, not just a menu where you talk.

Not that it is a bad suggestion but older MM games didn't have explorable stores/shops/houses, unless you're refering to MM9 (and nobody wants to refer to it).

1-2 and 4-5 did but the pregenerated backgrounds always looked cooler anyway.

I gave the release version a quick spin (will play more later as I have to work). Very impressed with the performance improvements and smoother tile movement, compared to early access. I have all settings maxed (on my Radeon HD 5800-something), except for keeping HDR off, which slowed things to a crawl.

Now that you mention it, yes, but there were only furniture and the "desk" where you would "access" the shopkeeper/NPC, calling the menu in a prerrendered animated background. I love those, I remember the red headed wench in the first inn of MM4, she said "Welcome travellers" in a throaty voice IIRC or maybe my mind is playing tricks with me.

It sucks that I'm still stuck at job ATM, can't wait to come home and play MMX.

don't remember 4+5 having that.

It's like Resurectra said.

 

[Abelian]

Legacy is not only unapologetically old-school but gleefully so.

i got no floppy in my package

I'm sorry to hear that.

Older MM's still had explorable buildings though. Not every shop was just a 1-screen deal.

anybody know the ancient name for the agyn peninsula? :D

Gotta say this is a little beautiful game that evokes pleasant sentiments inside me unfamiliar from the usual fantasy/pop-culture induced dreck thrown at us nowadays. Just innocent charming fantasy. Went out town and just finished the Lighthouse. The game could open up faster for my taste though, but I can see myself spending weeks and months with this without getting bored.

 

[IDtenT]

RPGCodex as the first quote.

Launch trailer:

Was about to post that. The Codex is quoted in the official launch trailer. How ridiculous is that?

BTW, the game is glorious. Buy it seven times. I salute the bros from Limbic Entertainment

Your mind isn't playing tricks on you. I played Xeen a few months ago and the innkeeper was indeed a throaty-voiced red-headed wench.

I can't wait to play it tonight either! Couple more hours!!!

So they did use that quote, hell yeah

 

[IDtenT]

So they did use that quote, hell yeah

They used it twice. On the steam page in its full glory.

 

[J_C]

You know that you are playing with a great RPG if the first quote is a compliment from the Codex.

 

[Minttunator]

A quote from the Codex being used in the actual trailer almost brought a tear to my eye. Truly, this is a proud day!

 

[Zeriel]

Zeriel Do you get all the relics listed on the store page or only one of them? And what stat bonuses do they give?

It's a full set of relics, themed after Crag Hack. Relics don't show their abilities until they level up (they start as normal-ish items), so I can't comment on the abilities, but I assume they're like all relics. Keep in mind relics aren't super hard to find, you can even get one in the Act I area by just solving a trial-and-error riddle, but it still feels weird to me to just find them in your inventory from Uplay if you redeem points.

 

[Broseph]

Running with a Bladedancer, Crusader, Shaman and Freemage. Game runs at a consistent 60 fps with settings maxed.

 

[Broseph]

That's my quote in the trailer!

 

[Cowboy Moment]

So they did use that quote, hell yeah

Magazine Prestige: +10

 

[hrose]

Can we have a quick analysis on what we lost and what was improved over, say, M&M 5?

 

[Excidium]

Full Orc party was a bad idea, I keep getting loot I can't use. Guess I'll restart with a multikult bunch.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Heh, just got murdered by a moonsilk spider ambush. Be careful on bridges
