* HilariousInHindsight: Before the release of the game, in an interview with PC Gamer magazine, [[WordOfGod Lori]] spoke of [[ActionizedSequel the game being more combat oriented]] and gameplay such as "oh-please-bring-a-feather" quests wouldn't show up anymore. After the game release, you get a fetch quest for Pegasus' feathers.

Per TRS, this is YMMV

Added DiffLines:

* EventObscuringCamera: Too often, the game treats you with a zoom-out of the scenery with the hero barely bigger than the mouse cursor. If you're lucky, you won't get a tree or a rock in your sights.

Added Broken Base. Quest For Glory V is definitely contentious, but not universally hated these days.


* BrokenBase: This is by far the most contentious game in the franchise. A large amount of fans regard it as [[{{Sequelitis}} a lackluster sequel]] that was hurt by intrusive ExecutiveMeddling and in particular the removal of noncombat options for solving the game, many outright calling it the weakest game in the series. Other fans are much more forgiving towards the game and love it, finding the game still supplies satisfying puzzles and gameplay despite the new focus on combat. Defenders of the game also find its story is just as strong as previous games and gives a satisfying conclusion to the franchise. Others are more [[SoOkayItsAverage neutral]], finding the game barely qualifies as a ''Quest For Glory'' game, but is still a solid enough experience and that its quality of life improvements at least put it above the much more unpolished ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryII''.
* CriticalDissonance: Fan opinion of the game has always been incredibly mixed, in contrast professional reviewers consistently gave ''Dragon Fire'' high praise.



* {{Sequelitis}}: Due to intrusive ExecutiveMeddling and in particular the removal of noncombat options for solving the game, it's widely considered the weakest game in the series. Yes, combat is usually ''an'' option in Quest for Glory, but it's never supposed to be the ''only'' one.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: While the game has been a disappointment, most people agree that the opening movie was amazing to watch. A particular scene was the invader ships arriving near Silmaria while the waves are moving. And this was done in 1998!
