Might and Magic fans in the house?

oh also: using a 3d environment for an RPG "mmo-style" was DEFINITELY not invented by the Might and Magic series. see: elder scrolls: arena, daggerfall, and battlespire. maybe drakkhen too, although it switched from FPS view to sort of an adventure-game view during combats. Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 also did fps-style RPGs although they didn't have free-roaming outdoors areas.

mm2 is the best might and magic

I never got the chance to play the earlier might and magics. Like I said, I started my M&M journey with the 7th one and worked my way up then ironically went back down again to #6.

The only HOMM games I've played was 4-5.

I had no idea Elder Scroll looked and played similar to M&M. What's the differences between the? Other then it looks like from the screen shots that you aren't in a 4 man party.

Emulation is your chance. DO IT.

Also play M&M3 because there is a Space Shuttle at the end. ANACHRONISM FUCK YEAH.

You can do anything pretty much, it's like GTA Zelda DOOM. I've only ever played Daggerfall, but like you can raid and plunder entire villages, run into houses and catch people completely full-frontal naked, kill almost everything, and it's basically just cool, even though a lot of non-dungeon things look the same and it's basically a DOOM ghost town. The gameworld was stated to be the size of some real-world location, I think Antarctica. 100% FUCK THE STORY NON-LINEAR GO ANYWHERE ORGY PALOOZA! If you can get past the bugs it's the greatest game ever! AND IT'S LEGAL FREEWARE NOW SO YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE NOT TO PLAY IT!

EDIT: Oh yeah you can piss off the Assasin's club and have killers follow you all over the world map and stuff. They should have made a Cyberpunk Daggerfall. The Terminator games used their same engine "Xngine" but they were completely linear.
