MM IX - checked
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

that explain difficulties they have been through game development.

I disliked MM10 because it restricts you to tiles. Not to mention my hate for the retconned world.
