Well, I just finished the game!
This was a heck of a lot of fun. My first game like this was HOMM1 back in 1995. Played the heck out of Homm2, but Homm3 was the one I played the most (plus the WOG expansion).
Of course spending over a decade on the HOMM series I was skeptical at first, but now after finishing the game I like it just as well if not more than HOMM. I know, sacrilege, right?
I didn't miss the micromanagement of the resources, and certainly didn't miss the "end turn" every day from Heroes.
This game was like a breath of fresh air to me; as addictive as any game I've ever played.
I slowly went through just about every nook and cranny on the map, so my final score isn't that great, but I never "restarted"; just poking around.
So I know of one quest I failed because I didn't stop the guy from turning into a werewolf in time, but otherwise it shows I completed 95 quests. Are there 100 total? I wonder which ones I missed.
Fabulous game, worth every penny - you developers did an outstanding job, and my credit card is ready for the expansion!
