Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer Hints

What are main line quests?

  • 1 of 6: They're the ones you have to solve in order to finish the game's main plot line.
  • 2 of 6: This game is rather free-form in the same way that Wing Commander: Privateer and Elite are famous for.
  • 3 of 6: You can ignore the main plot line completely and just adventure around, fighting monsters, plundering treasure, and building up your characters.
  • 4 of 6: When you're tired of that, you can either get going on the main plot line or just claim you're through with the game and quit.
  • 5 of 6: In other words, you never need to finish the main line quests, and there's no time after which the game ends badly if you don't. So have some free-floatin' fun!
  • 6 of 6: However, note that there are some areas (like Regna and the Plane Between Planes) that you can never enter if you don't do a lot of main line quests. Might want to keep that in mind.
