[EDIT]Oh yes, please note: I AM NOT a huge fan of DW series, I just enjoy the game enough to play it sometimes, most often when it seems like a fun option and no other games seems to pick my interest.... Which is hard when you've got an interesting selection of games and the fact that the game doesn't belong to me but a friend, bah, DW3 is a good backup to DW5 though, with a better difficulty. [EDIT END]
They can't really help but share the same end-stage. This is a story that is based off history itself, with some of these officers/generals dying or finishing their epic tales upon nearly the same area, or where best it can end off gloriously on the same battlefield. To this, they remain on the same spot.
There are some subtle differences between DW4 and DW5, which makes it quite interesting. The difference is best seen when you play two numbers down or three numbers down, then one number down. Whilst DW3 is just a beautified DW2, and a DW4 is a beautified DW3, and a DW5 is a beautified DW4. When comparing DW5 to DW2 or 3, you see a major difference, in both story content, battle, system, overall quality, packaging, presentation, music, voice acting, visuals and whatnot.
My only complaints is that DW5 is too easy, my friend's complaint is the fact that, unlike other DWs, it's the least historically correct, with some make-believe stages. As for DW5:XL, the difference is yet again subtle, but it brings about a different gaming experience if you stop thinking about it and play. You get a better feeling through playing then through thinking about the game itself, most of the time.
I trust my instinct on games, and to this day, I have not played one single game that made me go "This fucking piece of shit is CRAP! Where the fuck's my refund!?!" Nay, fortunately, they're all captivating in their own rights.
