To be honest I found the level where you kill Medivh retroactively letdownish. That is, he was more or less an evil wizard at the time, but by WC2 they had added so much to that whole story that he basically became, literally, the physical incarnation of the greatest force of magic and evil in the entire universe.
I killed him with a few straggling footmen.
So... yeah. I suppose at some point I'll read some thing about how in reality a couple of those soldiers were some awesomely trained level 10 badarses with all sorts of moves that LOOK like magic but are actually just good training, like hitting the bad guy into the clouds (indoors) and somehow jumping a mile into the air to HOVER and deliver like 70 hits that can level mountains before falling back to the ground and cleaving the floor in TWAIN. I've seen the high level abilities those warriors in WOW have... Wish MY footmen and knights could pull that off. Then again, this is pretty much to be expected. Ever since D&D they had to let the physical fighters manage to keep up with the likes of ultimate wizards and holy paladins somehow.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
