Possibly in the unpatched version you could win the endgame without blasters, Neb, but in the version I played, the only way you could touch the reactor core in the Kreegan Hive was to use blasters. I really wish I had the unpatched version (the patched version I got with Might and Magic Millennium Edition) because the patch, IMO, caused more problems than it created; specifically, you couldn't finish the Thieves' stronghold dungeon near Castle Stone (the doors wouldn't open in the patched version) and you couldn't retrieve the jeweled egg from Castle Kriegspire for the guy in Kriegspire village, rendering one of the side quests inoperable. Oh well...
Yes, the strafing (dodging left and right) became pretty annoying, but I think in modern 1st-person view RPG's, it's almost a foregone portion.
BTW, M&M9 is subtitled "The Writ of Fate" and should be out sometime next year.
