Warriors of Destiny is the best Ultima.

Kino of the highest order.

Ankhs are Egyptian symbols.

This is the absolute truth. Knowers have been awaiting a true successor to U5. We may wait centuries.
4 is good too though, and is what got me into the series.

any mods? I want to be able to recruit sherry

Most Christians, at the time, would not have known that.
Hell, most Goths a little bit after that, did not know that.

I never played this game but I came here to say that I love the NES version's sprites. That's it.

Did you not learn about ancient egypt in school? That's like the core of history class.

I refuse do believe that Lord British made any games that are worth playing in current year +10.

Let me guess. You're American, so you have no idea what life was like a thousand years ago. To you, a thousand years ago is literally when the pyramids were being built. It just all kind of collapses into "ancient times" for you as soon as it's older than about three hundred years.

Hint: schools weren't a thing for the peasantry. Only a few dozens of people in a given region at a given time had anything to do with a formal "school" for most of history.

And they didn't have reliable history textbooks or documentation on just any old topic they wanted to find out about.

No I'm British, I literally go to pubs older than your pedo-loving country.

You can't call anything that disagrees with you a "bot post", faggot.

I'm a zoomer who likes older games and emulate a lot but Ultima is one series I have never touched, Wizardry has always been more appealing. For context I've played Wizardry IV, VI and VII.

If I wanted to get into Ultima, which would you recommend and what are some reasons you'd recommend it? One issue is for older games a big part of the appeal to me is how less dumbed down the combat is and I've heard complaints that Ultima was a bit primitive.

The closest thing visually from what I am seeing that I have played is the first Ys. The overworld does remind me a lot of DQ and early FF too.

NES version is its own thing. Unlike, say the SMS version which is basically the PC version but with streamlined controls.
>>
>>3865833
It's because it has no relation or sense in it, that's what makes it a bot post. It doesn't disagree with anything. Simply none of these posts are coherent.
>>
>>3865835
The OP game is very unique in the sense that it was an answer to people criticizing games for encouraging immoral behavior like killing and stealing. So it's all about trying to become a better person and embodying virtues to achieve some sort of enlightenment, and you have to engage with a morality system to beat it. That would be the selling point I guess.

Ultima I is the best starting point. Simple gameplay and controls that carry on through the early series. II may filter you. III is great, but may filter you with a grind that seems overwhelming if you don't think a little outside the box. If you can't get into IV after at least finishing I, the series is probably not for you at this point in your life.
