Zoomer here. Ultima 5 looks really cool to me but I don't really have any experience with the series.The oldest computer RPG I've played and finished (guide-less) is Wizardry 5.Will this game filter me or is it doable for one of the mutts?
>>3944864if you can manage wiz5 you're probably fine.keep notepad ready, you'll be needing it a lot.
>>3944882Is the combat in this good? How tactical is it?Also one thing I don't get about Ultima is do these games have proper characters and dialogue in the towns or are they very primitive with that?
Did we need three threads on this?
>>3944864just be prepared before you enter dungeons, be stacked with reagents, potions and supplies because you dont get anything once you go deep.
>>3944915Ultima V can never have enough threads. its the Daddy for a reason.here have a nice map
>>3944864>Zoomer hereWho asked?
>>3944914>Is the combat in this good? How tactical is it?By modern standards, not very good.It's tactical at the beginning but then you get magic axes to everyone and steamroll them in seconds.>proper characters and dialogue in the towns or are they very primitive with that?It has basic keyword dialog system. you can ask their name, job, whatever.
>>3945014>It has basic keyword dialog system. you can ask their name, job, whatever.I dress like this and do this
>>3945014At what point do the Ultima games begin having more proper dialogue and stories? Is it with Ultima 7?
>>3944864I’d recommend starting your journey through the series with Ultima IV. It’s not all that different from Ultima V, but this is where the story truly begins. You can pretty much ignore the first three entries. If you don’t want to mess around with the DOS version, give the Sega Master System port a try. It includes a few quality-of-life tweaks and changes, but it’s a surprisingly solid port.
>>39450317 or 6, depends who you ask.Ultime peaks at serpent isle. 8 and 9 are shit.
>>3945031The first three Ultimas are a bit of a mess story-wise, but things really start to click in Ultima 4 thanks to Roe R. Adams IIII. Ultima 6 is a huge step up in presentation, and you can even use the FM Towns version's voice acting for it in ScummVM.
>>3944914>Is the combat in this good? How tactical is it?No and no. U5 is my favorite game and the combat is pretty wack. Not what I play it for and I always cheese stealing good gear from the castle basement to minimize the drudgery. Also the sequence you have to go through to get through the underworld at the end is absolute bullshit. Great game.
>>3944959>underhorld>wumilityIs there a reason Garriott swapped the w and h runes? Was it a mistake that he just stuck with or was it deliberate?
>>3945119Rare Roe. R Adams III mention
>>3945014Imagine going up to a stranger in real-life and asking them what their name and job is.If you're lucky they will just tell you to fuck off but most likely they will try to punch you instead.
>>3945119>Ultima 6 is a huge step up in presentationCan't get used to the zoomed in game window. You can't see much of the world. I wonder if there is a mod that increases the view?

>>3948044ho lee shit thanks anon
>>3948044This needs to be pinned. Does it work for spin-off games?
https://kweepa.itch.io/unity-undergroundhere's your Ultima Underground remake, bro
>>3944864It's pretty hard starting fresh, but the easiest if you know what to do and travel solo.
