Solo playing Might and Magic VI, is it a good idea?

[theverybigslayer]

 

[Wyrmlord]

Not only is it a good idea - it is very much possible and even feasible.

More money for one character = More skills, better weapons, more spells,.etc.

My first quest was: drowning the other three party members.

 

[JarlFrank]

Make this a goddamn fucking Let's Play, dude.

[Occasionally Fatal]

Make this a goddamn fucking Let's Play, dude.

Yeah this has potential - screens of you drowning the rest of your party for the lulz plz.

ironman or nothing

also thanks for picking the least shitty blob game out there. :incline of blob fans:

I got into M&M at number 1, then quit. Much later in life I got into it a 6,7, and 8 which I enjoyed tremendously.

Completing 6 solo is very, very possible. Heck I would do it myself (sounds like fun) if I still had my disks.

Oh well...someday it will be abandonware or get put in a collector's edition like my precious Wizardry games.

 

[Anthony Davis]

Oh on a related note, I recently pulled World of Xeen of my Interplay collection disks and... did World of Xeen not support custom parties?

I can't figure out to customize my party if it did.

Enter any tavern, sign in, dismiss default party and create your own characters. Or something like that.

My friend, did you not read the manual? You go to taverns to make parties.

You can create any number of characters, and some of them can be left in the tavern and some of them can be brought for adventuring in a group of six.

No I did not. The manual is this 2 inch thick monstrosity that has every game in it from the Interplay RPG Collection.

I figured it would be similar to 6 or something and start with the party making.

I will try it again when my machine finishes it house cleaning chores.

 

[Wyrmlord]

Oh nope, they changed the ruleset dramatically in 6.

 

[Anthony Davis]

Well...that didn't work. Every time I talk to the red haied bar maiden, whether I exit or sign in - the game crashes or locks up.

Oh well, maybe it is a bug in Dos Box.

edit: Well, I think it is working now. I fiddled with dosbox settings and now I can make my party.

man, this game makes me miss MM6.

 

[Luzur]

the crash at tavern thing is sound related.

I had similar freeze when playing intro and talking with that maiden.. I't was on newest Dosbox 0.73. Probably it's fine with 0.72?...

Play through World of Xeen anyway.

It is one of the wackiest and all around offbeat and enjoyable games I have played. It always has something new and wierd to throw at you. Such as cloud worlds that you can levitate upon, runes in ancient languages that can be read if you try to learn the language, enclosed areas that you notice in Wizard's Eye but can only reach through teleportation, and other stuff.

 

[rpgcodexusername]

M&M6 solo, is retardation. You would have to return to town every 2 seconds to heal, it would get real boring real fast.

 

[theverybigslayer]

I don't think this would be a good candidate for an interesting LP.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Anthony Davis: If perchance, when you finish World of Xeen and are still hungry for more Might & Magic action, there's always the fan-made Swords of Xeen. It uses the same engine as WoX but manages to push it to the limit. It's also a lot shorter and a lot harder, but that makes each fight tense and memorable. The end dungeon is balls, though.

 

[DaveO]

I have the end dungeon on video for Swords of Xeen. Nope, you're going to have to ASK me for the link. :twisted:

 

[Anthony Davis]

Hahahahaha! That sounds interesting!

I am having a hard time finding time to start a playthrough right now.

Currently on my list of fresh dos box games is Phantasie, World of Xeen and Syndicate.

World of Xeen is by far the most interesting since I am a fan of the first one and 6 on. However, it also requires the biggest time commitment right now.

Whenever someone mentions Syndicate, I think of the Syndicate Wars trailer. One of my all time favorites with the speakers on 10:
