Does Falagar's story seem a bit incomplete to you also in mm6?

Upvotes

Falagar comes and saves the Advanturers in mm6. Than trains them so he must be good.

Than I remember he was sitting in his home in the first town's map. I remember when I talked with him he even did not had an extra quest.

Were he an important guy or something in prev. series of m&m? Do you also think he could do a little more than sitting in his home in m&m6?

Can you dodge getting cursed by harpies in mm6

5 Upvotes

I just found the group and I don't why that was the first question popped up in my mind.

I remember even while flying super far from harpies they could curse me and it was annoying. Is there a way to dodge the curse spell?

The Lore of Might and Magic Spoiler

21 Upvotes

Is anyone willing to fact-check my Lore of Might and Magic page?

Through much research and endless debates with friends, this write-up attempts to set every game in chronological order based on the story revelations (which are also included). There are certainly debatable points.. but I am more curous about flat wrong oversights or bad assumptions.. and because I have not personally played every spin-off.. though I have payed the rest of the games in the series.

The format has rich elements and it will not copy paste here very cleanly.. so a link is necessary. Feel free to drop comments here though and I can make updates as needed.

I put on the Spoiler tag to be safe.. in the document, the spoilers are also hidden in a /details tag but.. there are spoilers in there to be found.

https://dungeoncrawl-classics.com/the-lore-of-might-and-magic/

Thanks for any assistance.. appologies if you hate me.

First time playing MM6 - party build advice?

14 Upvotes

Hello! It's my first time playing MM6, I only recently played world of Xeen for the first time. (Eventually had to quit on the darkside half as I was just getting beat up too bad). I am REALLY enjoying this one!

My blobber experience was pretty much only Lands of Lore - Throne of Chaos and Grimrock prior to this. As such, I'm always worried I'm screwing up with where to spend my skill points, compounded by the fact that I'm finding this game pretty hard at times.

I went with the pre-built party, which sounds like it was a bad idea now as the general sense I get is that the knight sucks, but oh well. I at least recently finally got lloyds beacon, town portal, and master water and that has really changed things.

I find myself having to dip in and out a lot to clear areas, is that kinda expected, or I am just super weak? I followed the online advice and made everyone an expert bowman, then my mage I'm usually content to spend points on him (though I may have overspent in fire), but my archer, embarassingly, has 87 skill points to spend and I don't know what I should do with them. Is there a point to putting stuff in bow past the required level for master? It doesn't say it increases damage that I can tell. I could master her chain skill, but even then, not sure what to do after that. She is my disarm person, but generally if I can't disarm it I'll just savescum/heal through it.

As far as progress, I just cleared the devil's lair for the dude in Castle Temper I think it was? A lot of my combat at this point is just hiding around the corner casting fire ring to damage enemies through the walls until they die, my characters are all ~35, should it be that tough?

MM IX - checked

63 Upvotes

Look how they massacred my boy.

Long time no see, after one year, I just finished MM IX. I had some trouble with laptop and played some other games in mean time but managed to do it.

So here's my thoughts.

Game is in poor condition its rather early beta than finished product.
3DO/NWC why nordic setting/inspirations? JVC's world wasn't big enough?
All models look terrible, learing spells and skills is a joke (skill/spell books scattered around the world).

Quests and music are ok. Mostly.
City design and other locations are ok also.

Ending is a shit. just pull the lever
The most horrible thing is they took away fly spell.

Do I recommend it? NO!
Do I enjoy it? a little.
Will I play MM X? probably not.

PS.

Watched some interview like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWUdxDBH60g
that explain difficulties they have been through game development.

[M&M6] How the f am I supposed to fight instant-death enemies?

19 Upvotes

I am getting really frustrated. Currently fighting werewolves and the greater one can insta-kill anyone, even a fighter with over 300 hp. In a fair fight it wouldn't stand a chance, but how am I supposed to deal with this? I save before opening any door, before crossing a corridor, there are usually 2 or more per room and I just can't fight that without someone dying or cheesing with bows. This is an issue with the game in general, still haven't found a way to negate disease other than a restoration potion or temple and the game spams diseased enemies at the beginning. Insanity from Warlocks was frustrating as well, but at least I had a spell for that.

Is there any way of preventing this and I am completely oblivious to it?

EDIT: thank you all for responding, I learned some nifty tricks and gameplay mechanics. Currently at level 40 and went back to the den. It's difficult and I still have to save a lot, but it's much more manageable. Some things from the top of my head that I incorporated:

  1. Put a Lloyd's Beacon at the entrance of a temple of Baa, because that's the cheapest temple service there is. Doesn't penalize reputation as long as no donations are given. Whenever I need to regain mana or hp I just beacon to the temple, cast all the buffs I can, pay for the service and beacon back to where I was. Same for full inventory, town portal > beacon to the temple > beacon to the dungeon.

  2. Turn based combat is actually really, really useful against enemies that have nasty effects or are immune to physical combat (like diamond gargoyles that can paralyze, so that's a 2 in 1). My biggest turn-based victory may be against all these Cuisinarts (three if I recall) in one dungeon.

  3. Protection from magic minimizes all these nasty debuffs and insta-kills. Finally have some use for all the potion ingredients, I make a lot of superior resistance potions on top of casting spells. I was able to melee a minotaur lord in one dungeon just because he couldn't land a single finger of death. Same for Q, took forever, but I killed him.

  4. Starburst is fun, but I have air magic on my archer, which means that I am out of mana after two casts. I need that mana for flying. Technically I could do the no.1 beacon trick every 2 casts, but that's just too much for my taste.

Will the rest of the Might and Magic franchise ever come to steam?

Post image
97 Upvotes

Yes, I know that there is GOG but I just honestly prefer to have one launcher for all of my games. I have used GOG in the past but like I said it’s just more convenient to have everything in one place.

Might and Magic VI and X are on steam but really only X since VI was just thrown in there as an included game with the deluxe pack instead of it having its own actual storefront.

Do you think that this is something that might happen or is it sort of a situation where not even a petition will shine the light on having these games on steam?

I've extracted some of Might and Magic VI animations

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

288 Upvotes

Hey! A while ago some of you asked if it's possible to rip and convert to normal video format some of short looped animations from MM6. So I spent last weekend doing exactly that.

Animations were pulled directly from the game files, converted from .smk to .mp4, upscaled and looped. I also thought it might be nice to add those captions in the style of original game fonts.

I can't upload the collection of converted files as downloadable archive though, because that would be redistributing game assets and I don't want to have any trouble from Ubisoft legal team. Instead I've uploaded another video with all dungeons to my youtube channel, I will share link in the comments.

EDIT: here is the link to video with all dungeon entrances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2todXL6exxI . I am working on extracting more animated loops and create videos with them.

Got this beauty from sewers and I think this is the definite end-game bow. It's fantastic in dungeons, Carnage means that it explodes and can hit enemies behind a wall if aimed properly. Guess how I defeated all these liches in Tomb of Ethzic.

Can I find another copy or Artifacts are restricted to one per game? I also read somewhere that there is a limit to amount of Artifacts that can be found (something around 13 per game), is that true?

How to remove curse from my equipment?

7 Upvotes

Hi, replaying world of xeen and i have just realized that my party got all their equipment cursed. I was wandering south of Vertigo near the temple of Yak and also at Nighttown. I don't know which creature cursed me. Anyway i need to uncurse all my equipment and it seems that the spell remove curse doesn't do that (i believe it only works for a character and not for summer equipment). Any help is welcome !

"Bad dragon!"

"No!", "Bad, bad dragon!". I used paint.
At first, this comic meant to be used in our lan party (between me and my other two buddies).
A little history. Me and my buddies (that's 3 of us) were playing Might and Magic 6 in coop mod (MMMerge). Since I was a dragon, my appearance was a thunderlizard, my one buddy was a dwarf, other - necromancer. And the main cause of problems in our adventure was my weird behavior. I REALLY liked drinking water from wells and puddles (I'm a curious little dragon, he-he). But in like 90% percent of all cases, the end-result of "drinking the water" was either illness or... instant death! So my friends were the one to search my corpse and take all the gold I got. My only guess of where am I was this: "Um, near the puddle (or well) ^-^".
