- I’m pretty sure one of every living creature is involved with getting 100% in this game.
- You’ll have to interact with them in just the right way though, otherwise your collaborator will have difficulty doing what he does best.
- There are a number of side quests and mini games, as is normal for the franchise. In this iteration, these quests include post sorting, playing battleships, and taking part in auctions.
- A HD remaster was released a decade after the original. Welcome additions included an optional, faster way to move around the world, and a really cool bottle based messaging system that allowed you to communicate with other players.

My list so far

That sure sounds like Wind Waker

#2 #2	Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (..)

Warcraft 3 is great, loved the story campaign and it's one of only a few RTS campaign modes I actually completed but yeah the custom maps were amazing. I'd say the game has the greatest map editor ever released with a game. You could basically make anything. I played a whole lot of maze defense maps back then. Never replayed Reforged, but heard you couldn't play the original on Battle.net anymore. Is that still the case or have they gone back on that?

Well the unfortunate thing about Reforged is that they basically built in on top of the original which in theory was nice because it allowed people to play together across versions and didn't leave the original game behind, but in reality in means that when they screwed up Reforged they screwed up both versions in terms of menus, bugs etc. (though the majority of bugs have been fixed now so in-game things work fine). But yeah if you have the original on a Battle.net account you can still download it from the Battle.net website and play it, have several friends who have done that (though the download is fairly huge since it's actually Reforged you're downloading, you just don't have access to the new graphics).
