I played Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Elder Scrolls series. But I still regard nothing is like Might and Magic. Simply awesome!
However, I prefer VII than VI because VII had better equipment graphics
My party is usually Fighter-Thief-Cleric-Mage or 2Fighters-Cleric-Mage. Sometimes Archers or Paladin or Druid as second slot.
Frequently used spells of me:
Air: Wizard Eye, Feather Fall, Lightening Bolt, Invisibility, Fly (that is the most awesome one! no fly no might and magic)
Water: Water Walk, Town Portal, Lloyd's Beacon
Body: Heal, Regeneration, Protection from Magic, Power Cure
Light: Paralyze, Dispel Magic, Day of the Gods, Day of Protection, Hour of Power
Favorite Place: Bracada (that's almost beyond doubt since Air, Water and Light magics are all of my favorites)
