I haven't been playing this one for long, but I played the others and I have to say: I really like that you can play quests over again. (the unimportant ones I mean)

So I have noticed that the fraction system in this game is a bit of a joke. You pick one side and then for the most part that is it. You can try attacking your own troops to slowly grind reputation with another force and keep grinding +Rep quests that don't ruin your rep with someone else... but sense killing militant troops merely results in gains for your class(even when killing your own troops, which means you just lose and regain half) so yeah... And with the alliance and shadow runners, they refuse to give you quests at all if you advance one side of their story to a critical point. And it seems nearly all the +rep missions for the common/merchant/merc are all -rep for another. So at best with excessive grinding you can get on the good side of 2 of them. With the max party size this seems intentional in part.. but it still makes the fraction system's implementation less a matter of how much each force likes you and more black and white "I chose X, Y, and Z sides, that's it"

Companions have this idiot complex. At least Beldon does. Also, archers and mages are super OP. For the record. 120 per second kills someone with 540 life in 5 seconds. Doesn't make life fun. AT ALL!

It'd be nice if we could turn the autosave off. Or at least set a custom interval for the autosaves. Because some of the statements I made I thought were going to put me in favor of my preferred factions, but it actually gave me the opposite, resulting in me having to either do a long period of grinding or start the game over.

This game is very fun however after you beat it I'd in enjoy the idea of a new game plus so that i could experiance the other sides perspectives, however i want to keep my character to I dont have to rebuild it. Just a idea......

It's fairly solid, pretty fun, and cool, but I honestly don't see any significant improvement or changes from the first few Hand Of Wars. Sure, it was some decent execution, but it didn't really "wow" me. 4/5

AND THEN I WALKED OUTSIDE THE MAP. In the most western tile on the second row, I just straight up walked through a bush to the west and walked out the map. There was another tile to the west with nthing in it and when I continued to walk, the next tile was completely black and there was nothing I could do anymore, hadto refresh

To be honest, Hands of War 3 is so much better than 2. I actually like you can click on a target and then you canfocus on walking around and using spells, while using WASD / arrow keys. Graphics have been improved strongly. The endless grinding for faction alignment has been fixed by offering quests that you can repeat, and they give quite a lot of alignment. Also - not sure if this is a bug - you can wear high level equipment, as long as you can afford the price

So, the developer's notion of an end boss was, after three games, to stack a huge amount of armour and hp on top of it, and toss in a bunch of visual effects to ensure the game slows into a slideshow during the epic grindfest?

In my game my quest log keeps gliching out, like, I have 3 of a quest I did near the start of the game, & quests I can't do because my log is full even though I only have 1 quest

Once, after having not played for a day, I came back to find that all of my equipment was missing. I did retain my base stats and my skills, as well as the armor I had given to my allies.

WARNING: If you manually quit the game through the menu, there is a good chance IT WILL BUG YOUR SAVE AND YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING. You have been warned!

Great game! 5/5 but it needs more balance, @ higher lvls quest rewards should give more tokens. There should be limitation for quests. Had trouble with faction system but i figured it pretty fast. Finished as a wizard, bosses were pain as soon as i figured out that companions use potions (mystery of missing potions solved mr. watson). Fix the LOS glich. As a wizard i can just stand behind houses and pwn those stupid archers :)

How did you manage to overcome the not-working "complete quest" problem? Cant get past the first (!!) friggin quest...

I love this game but I think you went a bit too fast. You had introduced three new stones to this amazing series (Soulstone,Mindstone and Voidstone) It was an amazing game though. I just wish that the map was larger!

Merchants seem like reasonable people... Can't I just pay them some gold for their badges? All this slaughter seems senseless...

Just started this game, chose the tempor faction quest (Rally Support) and talked to 4 champions, chose the first response for all. Came back to quest giver, chose a reward and hit the 'Complete Quest' button but nothing works. Tried abandoning quest and doing it all over but to no avail.

Once you beat the Voidbringer, you will get a message from the Creator. It says two very important things, that apparently no one is paying attention to. 1, why he doesn't reply to questions on here(he does it somewhere else) and 2, what's the deal with the 3rd map not being there(it's going to be in the extended version, along with another faction)

Is there anyway to reset the controls? the "SHIFT CLICK" to attack, but only when the mouse is on the target is really annoying for a ranger, compared to the old "CLICK" to fire in this direction system from the other games.

There is no warning that once you reach Varz, you cannot go back to the main map. There ought to be a way to go back to the mainland, or if not that, then a big message saying, "WARNING! CANNOT GO BACK AFTERWARDS!". Just a request. Thanks!

I feel like the devs are just pumping this series out, with very minimal change or effort beyond alot more shit to read.

Do not try to abandon quests! This ruins the whole game as instead of going away, it will stay there looming over you and taking up a space in your quest log forever....a haunting reminder of your greed and willingness to abandon one job for the other. Like the world was saying: ,,so you think you are too good for collecting Goblin Blood? You want a better job do you? Well you shall have no job then imbecile!" :)

To everyone who gets to the Shade of Gardius battle, make sure you have some speed gear so Gardius chases you while other teammates shoot him. (p.s. you have to kill him 5 times)

I killed the final boss, and in the same moment died to the skeletons he spawned. I watched him drop his loot and could have sworn I saw the start of the end credits, but it was all interrupted by the YOU DIED screen. I revived myself and ran back to the Tower, only to find the boss room empty. So now I can't technically finish the game (on that file, at least). Can that be fixed?

Wow, the same thing again. Even the plot is just about the same old tired thing. For the whole peace and unity thing these people sure love their killing. Also, where the hell did my normal attack button disappear off to?

The trade factions are really buggy. Killing commoners doesnt' increase your rep with the merchant, it actually increases the COMMONERS's rep by 10, (but also lowers it by 20)
Bump into the "commoners" first and accept their quest, and you are stuck with them forever. The game forces you to be a communist :P

for anyone else was the afterboss like 10 times easier than the badge boss?? even with 5 times more health it took half the time. on a sidenote, there should be a way to plant characters so they dont move when you want to attack a different enemy.

So it's not just me that has that issue? I spent like 30 minutes trying to kill the Void... whatever his name is. Stupid Void Spirits.

This game is pretty fun. You know what isn't fun? Standing in the exact same place for half an hour, watching an unfriendly Ax Family Cleric freeze you in place for hours on end while autohealing any damage your immortal ally manages to deal him.

Pretty good game, enemies go off the screen a few times but that's ok, but the Narrator at the beginning....HE HAS NO TONE! NO EMOTION! It's wierd and creepy O.O Other than that 4/5
