    Did 3-5 have the character advancement quests? I can't remember if they did; if they didn't, it was quite a neat thing to bring back from 2.

    The cardboard box you threw out the other day
    You're probably right. I tried playing M&M4+5 after M&M3, and even though it was clearly the superior game, I just couldn't stomach it. Was too burned out. Guess it just happened again. I think it's just that I don't feel like running around looking for those Trainers again. Shit gets a bit tedious when you try not to use guides, maps or faqs.

    Anyhoodles, now I just need to think of something else to play while I'm on cool down.

    Last time I played M&M I played 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, HOMM1-2-3, and all the HC, in correct in-universe chronological order, and I didn't burn out. You guys are fags :rpgcodex:

    (it did take me a VERY long time, but I had an absolute blast with it).

    If you mean the + quests from Mt Farview, no, it didn't. Though I wasn't particularly enamored with them in 2; they were just more pointless padding for the MQ, and aside from a couple of them (mainly Cleric and Sorcerer, both of which were quite fun) all the others boiled down to "go kill this guy". And said guy was always quite easy to kill.

    Well, who else would play colourful, campy games?:codexisfor:

    In my defense, it's my first time playing through them, and I'm trying to do as much as I can sans walkthrough/spoilers. Plus the games tend to be very addictive, so it's easy to go overboard playing them. Much like eating a whole cake in one sitting, you're not going to be wanting to start up another one straight away. Especially if you're playing them after having not played any games for a couple of months.

    I'm probably a bit more forgiving because I didn't get to play it when I first tried to get it (wrong version came in the copy I had, which was the only copy in the store), so having to wait a decade or two can make things a bit more tolerable.

    You can transfer characters from MM1 to MM2 and combine MM4 and MM5 to World of Xeen, there's no other transfer between the games.

    Don't worry, the XP your healer missed because of being unconscious was shared among your other party members.

    I found a copy of the Might & Magic Trilogy in my home which is supposed to be MM3 thru MM5 with Swords of Xeen. Is there anything special with this edition?

    P.S. - I have a spare MM6 copy that could find its way to a good home.

    After some late spring cleaning, I found that I have an extra MM6 cloth map.

    Which version of Xeen had the CD Audio that played little cutscenes and audio?

    If you entered the Dwarf Mines, a short scene would play that would say, "Welcome to the Dwarf Mines". There were others for that version IIRC.

    I keep getting an error (internal error, no number or anything) in MM7 now. At first it was only the occasional time I checked the inventory, and then it went away. Now it seems to be happening almost all the time I check the player's inventory, or skills, or even load a game and it's making it unplayable.

    Is this a common issue, or would a simple reinstall fix things?
