I'm a big fan of HOMM 2 and 3. I still play 3 from time to time. I bought 5 and I did not enjoy it which made me not want to continue buying the new games in the series. I tried the demo of 6 a year ago and I also didn't like 2 things that it distracted me from what the game could have offered. The town screen was just some generic 3d animation that looked terrible imho and my hero's melee attack looked terrible with it's constant camera close-up and buggy sound.
The release of the dungeon faction (my favourite in 2 and 3) has inspired me to take another look at the game and I'm thinking of buying the complete edition on steam. However I'm seeing a lot of reviews that this expansion is littered with bugs, some of which are players not even being able to play the game they paid for. Also the 2 things from the old demo I listed above would also influence my decision. I see that new 3d detailed townscreens were introduced which pleases me, but what about the melee attack from heroes? Does it still look terrible? I've tried to find a video where someone uses it but I haven't found one yet.
So I guess my questions are:
1) Do the town screens update with everything you buy like they did in the older HOMM games?
2) Do hero melee attacks still have the stupid cutscene with the buggy sound?
3) Should I wait a month before buying because of how buggy the complete pack on steam is?
