Might & Magic X: Legacy

Finished the game last night and must say I enjoyed it a lot.

Finished very close to reaching level 34, Got the 100% explore achievement and killed 1k mobs. Also picked up 21 relics and used more then half. None of the blues I found/shopped seemed to be able to replace them really.

Ran with:
Shield bearer: GM-Shield, Warfare, Heavy armor. M-Mace. E-Crossbow
Warmonger- GM-Spear, 2H. M-Warfare, Arcane Disc. E-Endurance, Medium armor, Bow.
Blade Master- GM-Dagger, DW. M-Warfare. E-Dodge, Bow, Arcane Disc, Medium armor.
Archmage- GM-Dark(not till after the final dungeon) M-Earth, Water. E-Fire, Light, Prime, Air, Focus.

I liked Dark over the others to push for GM on my buff mage because of how nice agony was for some extra damage, but really she just pumped out buffs 90% of the time. Just kept Stoneskin-Membrane always up then wards if needed with some CeleArmor and a regen when needed.....which I needed less with my Orc with a lifesteal chest relic and my Elf with dual 14% life steal daggers.

Really game was very skin by my teeth for about the first half then after that game got easier since party got better gear and my mage got more buffs. Really only issue I had left was at the end of the game getting close to wiping me out.

Discovered this last night in the thieves den as well. Decided to give up though after not opening after a ton of attempts.

Thieves' Den ones are all easy reqs, just go get the Hour of Power buff outside and you should be able to open even the perception one with no trouble.

Doing an Archer focused group now, and it's working very well so far into Act 2. Perception isn't awful - it's just.... different compared to the rest.

Ranger, Scout, Druid, Runepriest. Roots/AE roots make it a pretty laughably easy group to use on 99% of stuff and with double DW on the melee and better spec knowledge than my first full playthrough bosses and other unrootables aren't really causing issues of note yet.

Really looking forward to AE root + bows + RP mastery ability.

What a difference a good group makes... Druid/Blade Dancer/Rune Priest/Barbarian -- just walked through the lighthouse and knocked out the boss in the first go. Wasn't even close, with all the DPS done by the two casters (less damage than if my melees tried to hit him and get reposted). My last group got owned hard by him.

Speaking of bugs:

There's a typo in \Might & Magic? X Legacy\Might and Magic X Legacy_Data\StreamingAssets\StaticData\QuestSteps. csv -- open the file in notepad++ or whatever and search for MELEE_WEAPON.82 and change the period to a comma. If you don't fix it, you cannot get the quest reward for the bestiary, which is a relic dagger.

Really? Neat to know although you can't finish it till the very end.

Well damn. Was wondering why they had a relic for every weapon but dagger.

To bad already past the quest.

That "bug" involves you trying to move before he's finished his move - wife kept being impatient and running into it to she'd see the shove then immediately try to move back and freeze it.

It seems it's a bug that happens sometimes. There is however a way to fix it, had to spend a bit of time finding the original thread with the fix:


To solve this delete the "<condition failState="HIDDEN" xsi:type="QuestActiveCondition" questID="37"/>" in \Might and Magic X Legacy_Data\StreamingAssets\Dialog\LordKilburnDial og.xml file.
After that you can speak again with Kilburn - the quest will update properly.

2 guards will spawn in Lost City lvl 1 locked door which drops a key to open the Lost City lvl 2.

I haven't tested it, so make sure to backup the file before changing it.

That worked, thanks a million, Pyros! The Kilburn conversation was reset and evolved into the 'search for Montbard' quest (side effect of the fix is that you can keep doing the conversation). Just killed the Lost City guards and got the key.

I think I know how I broke the quest: after my first visit to Kilburn, I got the quest correctly, but then I reloaded until before Kilburn, and then halfway through the quest conversatio again, went 'back' instead of 'continue'. That exited the conversation and removed it from the dialogue options but I hadn't gotten the follow-up quest yet.

Weird, wife getting it to lock there was her moving too early every time.

Instead of finishing Act III with my bladedancer, druid, RP, and Freemage I decided I would do one....more restart! Went double blade dancer (1 DW dagger, 1 DW sword), a crusader more so focused on GM light magic and alot of spirit, and a freemage with air, dark, and magic focus for primary skills. 3 of the 4 have basic earth just for regen.

Just got into ACT II, skipped the lost city and have destoryed everything on my way to karth and Crag that I've come across. Best of all I was doing it with fairly crappy weapons from the starter city, my crusader was using a white starting sword until 5 minutes ago. Now I picked up a extra attack blue dagger and strong green at Crag that will basically quardraple my damage and just turned in the meteor so i'll have that in a week. Figure i'll go do blade dancer promotion, and then bend over most of lost city and be on my merry way.

Love this game. Really hope they pump out some additional content and maybe even a new class (2 hand GM Axe please)

Well, even if that were the only thing that triggered it, I still hardly think it deserves quotations around it. It's a game-breaking bug (only thing you can do is load), that should have been quite easily found in testing.

With how many unavoidable ones are in the game is why I quoted it - it's certainly a bug, but on levels of how much hassle they cause once you understand them it's one of the easiest to mitigate.

It's the first glaring case where the shoestring budget they were on shined to me though.

Just got a bad bug within the elemental forge - fire shard area. It's a known issue apparently, where if you push the rafts in a different order, they end up blocking one another and you can't finish the fire shard > blessing.

Is there something I can edit in one of the csv files to progress this?

I suppose it doesn't matter as much, since you have your dual wield characters, but did you change the ranged damage penalty while in melee range? I suppose that'd make it even more laughable.

I admit though, that was one of my favorite parts about Asheron's Call. I could play an Archer, and no matter how close a mob got, I could still just plink arrows.

I've been fixing this stuff as I see it come up so that I can hopefully avoid as many bugs as possible. I don't get much time to play, so I'm still very early in the game, so hopefully by the time I get through this stuff, I'll be mostly bug free! haha
