For the past few days, I have been playing Clouds Of Xeen like crazy. I love the amazing variety of situations and enemies, and all the object and clue finding. It's the ultimate freeroaming game, where you are just dropped into the world without being sent into a specific direction. Whatever you do in the main quest is based on all the little pieces you gather from the various sidequests and the various places you visit. I love how character's skills are used. Such as having to use Teleportation when you don't have Pathfinding or Mountaineering skill, or using the Swimming skill to find more places to visit and more secrets to find. Best part was venturing deep inside a volcano and finding a town inside. I would say MM4 is one of the best games I have ever played.
But now I have started MM5 and it seems a little underwhelming. The gremlin sabotage quest was a little weak. You go to the gremlin leader, he sends his bodyguards against you, you kill them, he gives in. Not nearly as cool as the Mad Dwarf quest. And then, going to Ellinger's tower, you find the guy by solving some puzzles, and he tells you that you have to find 20 energy disks to power up Kalindra's castle, and you have to find the key to the Pharoah's place. Sounds like a petty errand. It's just...none of the stuff that has happened so far has really clicked with me.
But anyway, which of the first five Might and Magic games does the Codex like most?
