I need to play something else... now. If you've been paying any attention to these forums lately, you know that I've been raving about Dwarf Fortress in a couple of threads pretty much non-stop... sorry about that for those that have been annoyed by my behaviour
So, I think it would be healthy to take a break (at least until the next DF version is released..) and play something else. ...What's that I hear? You mean it would be healthy to play nothing at all for a while? Ridiculous!! Of course I have to play something?!?!
So.. now.. taking the true power of Dwarf Fortress and the addiction those little dwarves give rise to into account, it is obvious that I need something powerfull to drag me away from it.. A kick-ass, truly enjoyable computer role-playing game. A real CRPG. That modern-real-time-3D-shader-action-crap will not do. That stuff would just throw me right back to the arms of those lovely dwarves... And this brings us right to the following fact...
I've yet to play Might & Magic VI. It's a classic. It's a legendary old-school party-based CRPG that has those lovely mid-nineties graphics (which I'm especially fond of) with sprites and all.

Some say it's the best one in the series. I've played 3,4,5 and 7... and I loved 'em. So I think it's safe to assume that I'm gonna love number 6 too. And yes, I know what to expect. The M&M games are thin on NPC interaction and storytelling depth, but they still have that... something that makes a RPG feel so good.
I've been doing some reading.
Found this great information resource:

Also found the unofficial patch version 1.3:

Anything else I need to know before beginning my M&M6 journey?
Any tips/hints to maximize my enjoyment?
I'd like to hear your thoughts & opinions about this game too, if you guys have any.
