Default Quest for Glory V

I recently managed to get a copy of this game, which I had been looking forward to since I've completed the previous ones a few times each. All the games have their faults, but the overall feeling of the series always made me ignore any problems, and just concentrate on the good points.

However, I am struggling since installing this latest one, it just somehow feels a bit lacking in soul. Am I completely overreacting, and will the new graphical style be ignored once I get into the story, or am I doomed to look at this as just a mechanism to complete the series?

I have a vague memory of coming to terms with the game, but it doesn't hold a candle to the previous ones, no .

bah... all the quest games lost something when they became point and click i remember spending days on the early ones, in that way they really sucked you in but then i finished QFG III in about 5 hrs first time i played it. They never gave the thief enough options to test his skills either...

The only problem for me with point-and-click was the change in the fighting systems which became poor after QfG2.

QfG4 is my favourite, setting/story wise, but I think the only problem with 3 was that they rushed it, and there were thief options, some were harder to do. If they had spent more time, perhaps it could have been longer and more fulfilling.

I'm looking forward to the QfG2 remake thats being produced by AGD interactive, which is why I got QfG5 in the first place, for completeness. Perhaps if I'm really lucky someone will remake QfG5... with more retro graphics/interface!

After the harem sequence for the thief in QFG II it all went downhill... lol... although the mages battle in III was kinda cool... didnt really stack up to WIT initiation in II tho... and the mages game in I was fun....

how many thief options were there in III? i only really remember breaking into the leopard shamans hut :-/
