#HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC V TEARS OF ASHA MANUAL#

This policy is mostly eliminated in X where the game and story are more linear, but there is one rather sadistic example early on.

You don't need anything special to enter except a death wish. For extra irony, the Disc-One Final Dungeon in V is accessible right from the start of the game. However, if you go off the beaten path (the main roads in II, the Western Continent in III, into the dungeons in IV or anywhere in V) too early in the game, you will find yourself in the middle of monsters you can't handle. You can go wherever you want, at the beginning (though forests and mountains act as Broken Bridges until you learn the fairly easy skill to get them), though in some cases you need an access key to enter specific dungeons or towns. This is pretty much a staple in most games of the franchise.The Narrator says in the beginning that Uriel was notorious for doing this too, saying 'Angels cannot lie, but no-one every said they always have to tell the complete truth.) This is in stark contrast with her angel colleagues in Heroes VI, who smoothly manipulated everyone using those two methods, and almost got away with it. Adira (a Justicar angel) in X (with the The Falcon and the Unicorn DLC) strictly speaking can't lie, but falls here by just how bad she is at using Exact Words and metaphorical truths, not only presenting an obvious evasion when asked a question by the Empress, but having to struggle to produce even that.Archibald's men are clearly lying about their version (they claim they bravely slaughtered the elven soldiers who ran in fear, when it's obvious that the opposite is true) but Archibald obviously doesn't believe them anyway. In the opening sequence of VII, the story is told by the point to both Archibald - by his Mooks - and to Gavin Magnus by the elves who fought Archibald's mooks.Gavin Magnus is the Light equivalent to Archibald in VII, and Thomas Grey (who trains your Wizard characters to become Archmagi themselves) probably qualifies as well.

VI and VII established Archibald Ironfist as this by implication - the first game had him be one of the world's greatest experts in magical rituals, while the second made him an expert in necromancy, and the manual reveals that he had defeated the former leader of the Necromancers' Guild to become the leader of the Necromancers himself.He also trains your characters to be Archmagi.

(All of the quest NPCs, thankfully, provide some kind of benefit.) With some quests, the Quest Giver has to tag along with you, taking up space as a hireling - quest-related characters could tag along in VI and VII as well, but did not count against the hireling limited.

In X you are also only allowed two hirelings, but an added limitation makes it more difficult.

VI and VII fail to explain why you can only hire two Hirelings, however.

VI, VII and IX all provide reasons for why those four characters stick together: in VI and IX, they are childhood friends that grow up in the same village, while in VII the driving force of the plot for a good chunk of the game is a shared noble title the four got in the prologue.

Several of these offer two additional slots for hirelings these are for most purposes full-blown characters in II and III, but serve other purposes in the games from VI on.

Arbitrary Headcount Limit: A maximum of six main characters in the original DOS-era games ( I to V), exactly four main characters in VI, VII and IX, a maximum of five in VIII.

How important it is to the main storyline depends on the game.

Absurdly Spacious Sewer: There's one in just about every game that doubles as a dungeon.

A number of other, less sapient, robots met across the games are simply doing what they are meant to do - guarding places against persons without the proper security clearances (which you do not have, thus them trying to kill you). Escaton plays around with it: he does exactly what his creators want him to do, and it's not a case of Gone Horribly Right - but due to the details of what that thing he is to do is, that makes your world collateral damage, and he can't go against that part of his programming no matter how much he wants to. If you see a robot or computer in this game, rest assured it's an evil thing that's going to try to kill you. Is a Crapshoot: Not just Sheltem, he's just the worst example.
