So, just to be sure, it's a big world with several smaller dungeons like the old M&M, not a single, big dungeon, isn't it ?

Glad to hear it, thanks you ! I will probably give in and buy it ASAP, then 
I can play something like Remember Me or ME3 or whatever, but this is like sub 20 fps. Not that you need 60fps but it looks like shit and runs like shit. Shops are like 8fps. Changing resolution does little, and changing settings makes a difference of like 5fps at times.
I have an HD5550 tho.
Performance was in general the most reported problem during the early access. We'll see if they were able to deal with it, but I'm not an optimist in that regard.
Fully turn based.
An authentic old school experience!(!?)

bought into the early access but figured I'd wait until it was finished before really jumping in...can't believe it's almost here.

Hehe... true. The old games had couple of frames for monsters: standby, attacking, hurt etc. I guess they could be 5 fps never cared about fps back then.
Yea it was pretty pointless. The devs were very active with the community on their forums though and hosted a bunch of polls to help shape various aspects of the game.

Get games has it for $24
Thanks for the impressions btw. I'm still on the fence, this would normally be a slam dunk purchase, but I don't know the dev and there are a lot of negative reviews on steam.

They have my $24 bucks on principle alone.
How is this game hard as fucking balls on the "easy/normal" setting?
Go around town looking at places, kill some spiders hidden in barrels. Literally nothing to do afterwards and you can't afford shit, first quest has you go kill spiders in a well.
Okay, these first 3 spiders aren't so bad. *walks into opening* SPIDER QUEEN. Oh okay lets knock back and snare thi- oh she's immune to any spell that deals with moving her? Welp. How about freezing? Nope. How about taunting so she doesn't hit my ranger/mage? Nope. And to make matters worse, she hits like a fucking mac truck at my level 1 dudes.

Okay.
It's not that bad. They give you a whole pile of potions at the start for a reason.
I used up the vast majority of them just on that fight.

I played it in the early Early Access days, and it seemed pretty solid, but had a lot of balance issues. Of course, that was the main point of having the Early Access in the first place; to make the game more balanced. I specifically stopped playing it after a couple days, since I didn't want to ruin the game for its eventual 'normal' release.
I'll download it when the full version is available. However, I still wish they'd do another M&M in the style of VI, VII, and VIII. Those were the best games in the series, and one of the few sets of 100+ hour each games that I've beaten more than once. (Honestly, I wasn't very impressed with Terra or the Xeen games compared to the 3 games that came after them, but that's probably because I only played the older M&M games for the first time about 5 years ago.)

Okay, I can confirm that is more than playable (usually 60fps, lower when at night and when moving around and there is texture swapping) with a HD770. Sucks that the graphics does not go higher than 1366*768 - I mean, what is up with that?
Now, I have no idea where the item identifyers are...it is not going to be a spell, isnt it?
I have a few unidentified items, and no NPC willing to reveal them...

Is this the early access version? If so I was able to crank the resolution up to my crazy downsampled custom resolutions no problem.
What do you mean? I was playing it in 2560x1440 (without issues on a 660ti btw).
Got it straight from steam, Press key.

On the client, the resolutions I can set the game to stops right at 1366*768 @60hz. Weird. My HD7770 has 1gb GDDR5 ram. Not sure if 1gb is a culprit as every other games work with higher resolutions just fine... should I edit some cfg files?

Yeah highest resolution it shows for me is 1920x1080, but I have a 1920x1200 monitor.
You can go into the ini and change it to 1920x1200 or whatever, but it looks like one or two of the GUI elements bugs out. The "leave" button stays in place where it should, but it looks like for some reason the ui extends out on the bottom right.

So is this the early release or full game. On steam it seems to indicate it is early release.
According to the OP, the full Steam release is Thursday.
Early release has been available for quite some time now, the actual full release is this Thursday.
3 days. It's been 12 years, I can survive 3 more days...

Ok thanks, I couldn't tell. I've been jonesing for an old school RPG.
Just go around the town, tons of stashed goodies for ya. Depending on how many mana-user you run, you *will* need to use up the spoils from before the room with the queen to buy additional potions.
But will they make M&MVI available on Steam after, or only for people who buy the early access version?
Cause I have high hopes for X, but not passing up my chance at the best Might & Magic.

Not only does it have M&M6, but it's got 1-5 so you can in fact play the best M&M game. World of Xeen.
Christ I already own the GOG version and forgot. I think JaseC has Steamwashed me. It's not the REAL version if it's not the STEAM version.
But yes, buying X without hesitation or equivocation.
I've never played World of Xeen...
Oh man... so good.
Might & Magic 4 and 5 take place on 2 halves of the same world. If you have both games installed together it merges into one giant megagame called World of Xeen and has a bunch of new endgame content once you clear the M&M5 stuff.
That was after going around the whole town and buying potions. I had like. 5 left.
I also have a soft spot for M&M 3, since it was the first one I played, and 6 seemed like such a grand step forward at the time, but World of Xeen is where it's at.
WTF? It's 2014 and you just blew my mind with 1994 knowledge. I'm seriously tempted to check this out now.
I missed out on 4 & 5 and came back to the series with VI. (and VII and VIII and IX.) I always assumed they'd be too dated to go back to, but they look alright.
Nope, 4-5 play quite well, and fast. Heck, they have a surprising number of keyboard shortcuts, and a solid automap.
Randomized loot, tons and tons and tons of dungeons and puzzles, and really fun whimsical art. I'm even fond of the music, but that's probably nostalgia speaking.

It'd be nice, I know that much.
