A long time ago, Belketh’s lieutenants were roaming the lands of Ashan, bringing fear to the hearts of House Eterna’s enemies. One of these champions was Vein, the Reaper of Souls, and the Grim Riders were his personal guard.

Ok ..

I fear you have misunderstood my comment. I understood that Sandro thought that you have only just now learned that these creatures are vampires. I am aware of that not being the case. I understood that the problem that you had was that they were vampires and that they still are.

Old news - we know that Black Knights/Grim Reapers are vampires in Ashan since HoMM5:
Death Knight description in HoMM5 said:
A terrible curse awaits those who are foolish enough to combat these Vampire lords, outcasts from the dark realm of the Necromancers. Death Knights are able to slay numerous enemies with a single strike.

As far as I remember - no. Few pointed out that it was a silly concept but none was such drama queen like you.

I liked the Monty Python reference and only that, when they started with the LotR one it was too much. Seriously now, these dialogues lack depth, such one-liners aren't suited for generals and high-ranking politicians, even casual conversations are more complex than that Maybe it's because the cut-scenes need to be short, but they could use better writing. Maybe it will be better in H7

I am unsure that cutscenes can ever get better as long as they are in the present format. Even with better dialogue the characters all walking around in full armour at all times, the terrible lip sinking, and the muddy character models all make them, to me at least, feel horribly immersion breaking.

yeah, they could switch back to text-based stories like in the old games, make 1-2 high quality cut-scenes for when the game starts up/you finish all campaigns and use the money for something else, cut-scenes can be pretty expensive and useless overall.

But seriously, is this supposed to be funny? It sounds like something a 3rd grader would say. Seriously, if they need creative insults, they should take more inspiration from online forums

I actually thought the cutscenes weren't as bad in the vanilla H5. Still, with more expansions, as the gameplay improved, the plot and dialogues went downhill, example above.
Agrael was amusing and well-written in his Inferno campaign, I loved his sarcastic comments about Elves. That standalone scenario however was a disgrace to his character.

Usually, I'm trying to view H5 through a filter of a sort - the same plot, but better fleshed out, with better writing. You can feel they were onto something really great when you read the artbook commentaries or try to write/read well-written summaries.

Leaving H5 behind, I'd honestly like to see some acolyte Arantir - Giovanni got some cool artwork on H7 blog, so why not add just a little of the best Dark Messiah character? He'd still be focused on his books at that time though, so he could maybe get a cameo in some library in Heresh, or something like that.

I second this. In fact, I recall there being much more to do about the fact that they were neutrals and not in fact a Necropolis creature, as opposed to Wights and Wraiths. The impression I got was that turning these reapers into 2 creatures was stretching it and that they were fare more fitting as neutrals. As opposed to the Death Knights, whose absense was lamented in Heroes 4 and 5.

Dread Knight, with its death strike ability, was probably one of the best lvl6 units of the H3 game. It has marked some spirits. That aside, I keep wondering why all the questionable things in Ashan lore rarely gets questioned. I know the lore lesser than you guys yet it seems I care more. While it is true at this point Grim Rider being a Vampire is one other of the multiple problematic "details" going along this reboot.

This summary has some incorrect information... "Mal-beleth" never existed in Ashan, it was just a beta name for the Demon Sovereign... It's always funny to hear that Kha-Beleth killed his beta version.
