Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer

• You will only have one character that matters, the others are hired in inns. Do not be too worried about leveling them up or training them, you can get better ones later (including literal dragons, who outperform everone else hilariously.)

• Pick a race/class that you think will cover your needs in most situations and have good survivability. Everthing else you can make up for with hires.
