How is it possible to make impressive 3D graphics for an indie (and passable portraits) and such an ugly UI at the same time?
And that name is almost "Black Geyser"-tier in its clunkiness. "That Became" is certainly new, but Quest and Legend is as generic as it gets.

The cheesy Hollywood-style narration is so bad it's good.

Im buying this, hungry for some turn based blobber action
I'm not normally someone who cares about this sort of thing, but the lighting is really bad. Somehow everything is backlit so that the side facing the player is drown in shadow. Gives a whole new meaning to the genre of blobber.

I'm guessing because it's easy to get some models/textures for whatever engine he's uising (probably UE) but making a UI is a lot of custom work. But yeah, it definitely fucks up the presentation.
The name has potential though. The sequel could be "A Legend That Became a Quest", the one after that "The Myth That Became a Legend", "The History That Became a Legend" and once he's fishing for the mainstream audience it'll be "The Man Who Became a Woman" or some such nonsense.
this crap is not even step-based

That generic "epic" theme... I still hope that some day, someone will use a shittyflute cover of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" for the trailer instead of the usual bland shit.
Which is exactly why I'm interested in it.
We need more M&M 6-9, Wiz 8, W&W style gridless blobbers.
no we don't need them we stepped over their corpses and the resurgence of step-based blobbers speaks volumes of what's actually playable

Grids are super cool for travelling and backtracking especially super fast and such, I prefer grids, but Might & Magic 6-7-8 are the ultimate chessing games with so many different cool ways to cheese and looking for secrets and secret places in a seamless environment is cool too once in a while.
someone old enough to have enjoyed m&m6 is also old enough to have dementia now and thus can't recall where did those secrets lie
feel free to replay the game instead of imposing decline on a nigga

That UI 
I think that if someone wants to make a new M&M 6 style game, they should do what Call of Saregaerar is doing and make it look all retro-y.
Or make a modern UI that looks good and fresh.

Had fun with all of them. Something about that janky movement is enjoyable
I like this one seems very Might and Magic like.

You can buy 3D assets and character portraits at the Unreal shoppe. Actual UI? Not so much. Easy as that.
The Legendary Quest of The Quest of Legendary Quest Legends.
No GOG release?

Well, played it for 30 misn now, found village and walked around fighting goblins in the woods (very thick woods i must say) and found their nest, got ass raped in caves though so i guess i must walk around some more. not much (at all) to loot in village, even though houses are wide open, no wandering npc's, everyone just stands there 24/7, which isnt much of a problem for an old RPG dog like me but ive been spoiled i guess by games like Daggerfall and MM6-9 with some small signs of life here and there. Otherwise easy to learn and easy to use spells/combat.

It's a bit more complicated than that. Both the Unity Asset Store and the Unreal Engine Marketplace have tons of professional-looking UI assets that are reasonably priced. I own quite a few of them and I often recognize them in other games. The problem is that it requires a certain level of skill, artistic sense, and a player-centered mindset to implement them correctly.
UI is not as simple as a pre-made modular environment or an enemy model that you drag and drop into a level (although even that requires skill with lighting and post-processing). With UI, the graphics for the panels, buttons, text and icons are only one small part, and it's the scale, positioning, alignment and animations that determine whether the UI will feel smooth/responsive in-game or feel clunky and low-quality. Unfortunately, this kind of judgment/expertise can't be bought on the Asset Store.
