Wait. And I thought Caldwell was named after Lord Caldwell from Heroes 5, uncle of Freyda. I've noticed, that both of them are from Unicorn dutchy and can be descendant and ancestor.

I think Caldwell is not an uncommon name in the Unicorn Duchy, so they're probably not related. But who knows? A lot can happen in 400 years or so :)

It's a shame the game is to be "more serious" while being called "Legacy". Basically, what we get is just another fantasy "epic" with nothing special to present. HoMMV was so, HoMMVI was so, Clash of Heroes was so, and only DMoMM managed to make something different on storytelling front (well, it's Arkane). I don't know. I just don't understand how such actual legacy older M&M games left can be just ignored. Instead of making something different, something outstanding... Heh. I have no words.

Are you sure you have actually read the article above? Just checking ^^'

@Marzhin93, strange, I can't reply to your post. So, on topic... Oh yes, I did. And very carefully. I think 3DO and NWC made a mistake when starting to change direction of the series around MMVI. This lead to disasters of MMVIII and XI. And modern course of the series is no better. Yes, I like that there'll be quirks and references. But they are just a part of overall tone. MM was not just sometimes quirky, it was absolutely insane! I mean, yes, references and e.eggs are great stuff, ...

but they are just a part of general tone. There was madness everywhere in older MM, and it made them to stand out. They lost it somewhere around MMVIII, but everything started to crumble at MMVI.

Well we had to remain consistent with the current tone of the series. But I can assure you I put as much craziness as possible in Legacy :)

I think what they describe is close to the tone of MM 3-5, which had a lot of silliness in them but not to the point of being a full-blown parody. Which, IMO, has been getting a bit overdone lately, with several indie RPG parody games in recent years.
I did think Isaak was a bit too much like the jester of MM3 to be a coincidence! ;-)

Reading ths article it sprung to my mind that I still wander if Hammerfall is a reference to the same named Swedish fantasy matal band and if so, we need a Templar as character :-D

I was wondering why the guy was bouncing on a crossbow like a pogo stick, I still wonder about the mules. :D

I actually kind of liked the humor of the old games, but I was also prepubescent back then. I'm completely in favor of keeping humor in the games. Though I would prefer to not have any sci-fi in the game. I always felt that was when a MM game jumped the shark and veered off into nonsense for me. I prefer straight sword-and-sorcery adventure. But I wouldn't mind a puzzle/character like "Sheltem" again, just don't make him an alien.

Personally, I really enjoy the serious themes and actions with the subtle humor and references - I think it and the descriptions of even mundane items are what set M&M apart from everything else for me. The key part is it does need to be subtle, as anything too "in your face" would just make the game goofy.
I hope the characters have LOTS of lines so they don't get old within 2 hours. I like having a cynic and a hero in my party- balance.
I would love to see one or two Firefly references!
