Here is my take:
1. Total lack of "Quick Combat" option is a game-breaker! Heroes of Might & Magic 5 solves this in a sweet way.
2. Quests don't give any sort of cordinates! What gives?! It's sort of like this: Go from USA to Sweden and then buy a burger from my favorite place - - - ehh? Like you know where that is!!! Most quests are like that and i HATE it!!!
3. Bad optimization, just look on the "Arlania" map. Many games of today hide optimization in "high" computer specs. Consoles can't do stuff like that, so the point of the matter is: when one map "LAGS" and others don't then there is an issue. Heroes of Might & Magic 5 had NO such issues...
4. My English sure stink, but even I had made a better translation with a free Russian to English software from Internet. When I want Yoda talking I turn on Star Wars... sigh...
5. RPG for me is that you can solve things calm and nice without going rude and evil, well, in this game you are far to often FORCED to pick a damn rotten evil response to "keep going" - - - maybe this comes from this game beeing Russian in the core, but there is actualy people who don't want to "play" the Russian way
6. Orginal Kings Bounty is/was far more OPEN-ENDED in that you could re-play it how many times you wanted... It's not like that here becouse you are more or less FORCED to do things one way
7. Sexes: what with this male thingy??? Why is there no female counterparts? The orginal King's Bounty had ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, "we cannot have one becouse of the females the hero can marriage" - - - ok, but just code in some males the females can marry, or even better, why not let females marry other females, its just a game and I don't object it! "We cannot let you marry another female becouse then the code halters when you want to make kids" - - - doh, just do some sort of code *If female then 1, if male then 0*, then she can come up with a clever response or whatever...
Now I am FORCED to play the Paladin due to the fact it looks like a tom-boy female, but I am so angry I cannot be the mage *urghhh* - - - FEM POWER FOVEVER!
Before I end, even with all this issues, I LOVE THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its very good, so I don't bash it, its just it could have been better!
