Ultima

Post by jadeia »

Come on, I can't be the only one!

Anyone else here play this? It literally kicked off my CRPG obsession. I was never a huge fan of the full Ultima series, but this one scratched a particular itch.

The clones that came in the 80s too, played them all. Questron, Legacy of the Ancients, Bards Tale.

Not my all-time favourite (that award goes to Pool of Radiance), but when it came out in 1981 (right around my birthday) it just pulled me in completely.

It's also incredible when I look at Ultima and then Baldurs Gate III. We've come a long way.

You must gather your party before venturing forth.

Find me lurking in #lobby or #writing on irc.inthemansion.com

I played Ultima back in the 1990s, but I was a bit too young to get anything out of it, other than "cool, its a game, things happen when I press buttons"

I've been meaning to try them out now that I'm grown up... I mean, aged... but Morrowind keeps distracting me

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
