Ubisoft did the series proud!
We wanted customizable heroes with skills of our choice, we got it. We wanted to chose what spells we got...we got that and so much more.
It is like they said "Sure you can have all you want, but we got some more for you..how about persistent hero weapons that level up and carry from battle to battle, and not just campaign battles?" Hello dynasty weapons! Also say hello to balanced but different factions and every unit being very useful.
This is a game that makes us glad that Ubisoft took over this series. They do it proud. The only thing that keeps me from giving this game perfect ten is that the system requirements were so great I had to buy a new computer just to play it.
