Thumbnail plot summaries for HOMM V?

[lotusreaver]

So this little endeavor began as a one-off bit where I used thumbnails to satirize the campaign of Heroes V: Tribes of the East. Tongue-in-cheek stuff, really. [LINK] It's filled with in-jokes and references that people who have played through the campaign will recognize. This was back in 2007.

Recently, I played through HoF again and decided to give the same treatment for the HoF campaigns. [LINK] I planned to finish the Ylaya campaign and stop it there.

I know some of you guys read them and commented on them. So I figured I'd pose the question here. Since I'm working backwards, and momentum is strong, should I finish out the thumbnail plot summaries with the original Heroes V campaigns? If you guys like them, I'll do it. Otherwise, no big deal.

---------------------
UPDATE: Okay, so the overwhelming consensus is that you want me to finish up the campaign summaries. So I'll post them here.

UPDATE: All of the summaries are now complete.

The Queen
The Cultist
The Necromancer
The Warlock
The Ranger
The Mage

You can get the full campaign here, along with the expansions: LINK

Looks pretty good... so yeah, do them all.

[Shyranis]

Go for it ^_^

[Corlagon]

'Course you should! I love those things.

[Elvin]

Nice to see you back, we want to see more

[Deadguy118]

Yes. I really liked your summaries for the other campaigns (basically exposing how poorly written and convoluted the entire story of Heroes V really is).

[lotusreaver]

Alright, I finished the last of the HoF chapters this morning. Will start the original campaigns soon.

Isabel's campaign summary completed: HERE

Did I leave out anything significant?

[Corlagon]

Hilarious as ever Loved the Crag Hack bit.

[Elvin]

I had forgotten the horror. Quite on the spot

[parcaleste]

Hilarious.



BDW do I miss "the Markal incident" or you did not went through there?

[Avonu]

Your plot summary and dialogs are so true... unfortunately.

[lotusreaver]

BDW do I miss "the Markal incident" or you did not went through there?

I'll get to Markal's campaign eventually. I'm doing them in order and am currently finishing up Agrael's campaign. Stay tuned.

[lotusreaver]

Part 2 is uploaded. Oh Agrael. Will your troubles never end?

[Elvin]

Mysterious Spirit: Ahh. Now I see. Yes. It has all become clear. Now I understand. The answers are in my head. It was so easy.

Agrael: Care to explain?

Mysterious Spirit: No. Not really.

Tieru: I am the legendary Tieru. I am communicating with you through astral projection. It’s a lazy but convenient way to move the plot along, you see.

Agrael: Hmmph.

Tieru: A demon messiah is coming. He will have his own game. It will be riddled with bugs. It will be panned by critics. There will be an annoying succubus named Xana. But no matter. We must prevent this from happening.

I'm currently running through the necromancer campaign for the purposes of writing the next installment. And I realized something. In many ways, Queen Isabel in H5 is far, far worse than the Biara imposter in HoF.

[Elvin]

That is an understatement. Her stupidity is unbelievable, possibly why everyone seems to hate her. Zero common sense and arrogant on top of that, however she does get a lot better towards HoF ending. I believe they tried to make her a tragic hero, a pawn of fate doomed to lead her people to ruin and realize later what she has done but that wasn't exactly well implemented..

[lotusreaver]

In terms of H5, in writing the campaign summaries, I've noticed that a lot of the characters are just plain clueless or don't have the common sense to act when they sense something is wrong.

Who would you say is the most clueless/stupid of the characters. And who would you say is the smartest/most logical?

[Elvin]

Godric is the most reasonable of the bunch, his only flaw is his pride but for an old guy he is adaptable enough. Even learnt diplomacy at his advanced age hehe
Raelag is a pretty sharp guy, religious but not fanatical, knows what he wants and does what is necessary to achieve it, just a little bitter. What I dislike his.. affections
And of course Zehir that although inexperienced he is a brilliant guy, quick thinker, adaptable, logical and optimistic.
I don't forget Biara, she's a resourceful ***** but her style.. I realize it's the developer's fault but she's like an open book, you'd have to be an idiot to fall for what she says.
Markal was brilliant even if a bit mad. But again he is too obvious, I admit I loved him though
Tieru.. He's a perceptive fellow with a quick wit but Nival makes him look like an idiot. He's just another filler for the story, somebody had to explain the plot and move Agrael's storyline forward.. Not in a very good way either.

Of those Godric seems the wiser but in terms of common sense and rationale I'd say Zehir.

[Avonu]

Godric also is stupid - he is stupid as all knights with their honour&duty. His word was more important to him that fate of Griffin Empire subjects. And he didn't recognize that there is something wrong with "saint" Isabel?
Not mention he vow oath (IIRC - can be wrong) about punishing Agrael but later he do nothing to murderer of his king, not even say bad word about him.

BTW lotusreaver - if you going to summary Zehir campaign don't forget about two cutscenes that were addad in some patch (were missing ealier).
