The Heroes Round Table

I recruited Devlin Arcanus, Vetrinus and Nathaniel and started the game as a Necromancer. I don't think it would have made too much difference if I'd started the characters from scratch. Dark magic skill is the only thing that matters much towards the end and there's plenty of characters to divide e...

just played through a quick game of NNNNC... I don't recommend playing with such a party... way too easy.

here's something interesting you can do with a party with 4 healers. put the game in turn based mode, then hold down S with all characters' quick cast set to Cure Wounds. now repeatedly click on a character you want healed. this way you don't have to wait for recovery times to elapse in real time an...

i've used a CCCD party, but in the end regretted not making the Druid a Sorc. I ended up meleeing + healing through most of the early game, as this is the most mana efficient style prior to Lloyd's Beacon, which I admittedly got a little late. 4 healers made for a lot of early game staying power. Of...

Interesting. BD2 sounds like something I should get my hands on AQAP. 5 posts into a thread and starting it has already royally paid off. Keep the suggestions coming guys!

ps. Its interesting to think about how a Dark spamming party compares to AAAS. Soulleech is potentially the most damage intensive Dark spell and would ultimately KO all red dragons on the screen. Its hard to compete with that no matter how low your recovery rates. I guess against more powerful "...

4 necros + 1 cleric comes to mind, considering Dark magic spam works pretty well in the earlier two games. since you get an extra character and light magic buffs such a party might even me a more impressive sight to behold than an MM7 Dark magic spam party.

Dark path: Talk about easy mode. With 4 party members blasting shrapmetals, the lich's low HP was irrelevant - everything in front of me simply DIES instantly. I imagine that if you assign Soulleech to the quick cast of one (or more) of your four characters the healing effect will make you practica...

One amazing game that ticks everything but 1st person view is Baldur's gate II. I very highly recommend this game if you haven't played it. I agree that the BD series are a lot of fun, but wasn't the second installment single character based? I may be wrong, because I only ever played the XBOX vers...

a few defining characteristics i'm looking for in a game similar to M&M: - multiple characters - free roaming gameplay - questing - RPG leveling & skill system - Western RPG style - preferably 1st person view - preferably well defined personalities of characters the only one I can come up wi...

well, let me rephrase. I just think it had a major downside in that any single game of MM7 "feels" shorter due to a third of all quests (let's not forget, all promotion quests not of your alignment and 4 main quests make up a huge chunk of the game) not being available to you in that game....

I personally think the light/dark splitoff in MM7 was a design mistake. they should have put all their effort into making one big story line, not two half baked ones. think about it; the reason any single game in MM7 feels smaller and shorter is because MM7 is two games in one, and you're only playi...

I've just played through a game of CCCS Dark side. The first 75% of the game are a breeze thanks to the overkill of healing and the decent defensive abilities of Clerics. Bless + Heroism + fire weapon enchantment turn the clerics' otherwise unimpressive maces into damage dealing workhorses (that is,...
