I speak lizardman now
>>3981636which mod is this?
>>3981636it's essentially a cryptogram, a simple substitution cipher. i used to love doing those as a kid. very yeshor'clicki have so much loot and so much gold, i've started just tossing the loot in one of the rooms on 2F. but i'm still using the crappy 8 damage shortsword i got at the start while wearing a full set of chainmail from that dwarf smith. haven't really used any magic yet, i started out as a warrior and did three or four mantras into magic, but the combat has been such a steamroll that i never really used it. the manual has a spell for fly, and i've marked a few places on the map to use it, but i haven't found the runes needed to cast it.
>>3981654my "loot room" and current gear
>>3981675wondering if i should stick to chainmail vs plate. i found some plate but i only have about ~15 units of extra carry capacity if i wear it. wearing chain gives a bit extra. and the chain is more than good enough at least at this stage of the game. but the map goes up to 20 and the deepest i've gone is 5, i should probably fix up this breastplate and helmet while i'm near the repair guy if i don't want to be trekking back 8 floors later.
>>3981685>identify this>it's a green potion>it's a worn wand>it's a worn daggeryes but what are the enchantments
>>3981636Bro this unity "port" is unbelievably ugly just play the OG
>>3981675Why did the mod (unity underground) list a controller as requirement?
goddamn, i pity zoomers having no coherent aesthetic taste
this stupid fucking dwarf doesn't know how to tell time at all. i set a timer for 11 minutes>>3981685i'm carrying 6 units of books because i don't want to copy those notes onto a sheet of paper. i should probably keep notes, but, most of this stuff isn't really worth noting down. i'm probably never going to chant the mantra for swimming
>got the Sword of Justice >it's worse than the sword some bandit dropped
>>3981675you should put them in chests or spare sacks. too many items on the ground might bug out the game and cause plot items to disappear.
>>3981685>but the map goes up to 20 and the deepest i've gone is 5,???? are you robotposting or AI posting. there's only 8 levels in Ultima Underworld 1.
>>3981690https://wiki.ultimacodex.com/wiki/Dominusask the mage, not the midget.>>3981767it's unbreakable and unsinkable.
>>3981636>>3981675No offense but this 3D thing is just weirding me out.
>>3981735i ended up biting the bullet and just writing down all the notes. 6 units of weight is just not something i can spare, i already gave up on breastplate and dropped most of the food, ditched all the unknown potions. in the manual, there is a spell for identifying items, i need one more rune to be able to cast it.>>3981703i don't really care about looks. games like nethack are great and it's just ascii.>>3982015>this 3D thingwell, it's ultima underworld, 3D is its main thing. it's also the first ultima i'm playing. have you played any of the 2D games, like ultima 7? i read online that people say that one is the best in the series.
>>3982018>like ultima 7? i read online that people say that one is the best in the series.Awful combat, so you should use the fan-made Exult engine to run it and set it to easy mode. >https://exult.sourceforge.io/index.html>https://exult.sourceforge.io/docs.html#game_engine_gump and take the crossbow from Iolo ASAP. or he will shoot you in the back.otherwise a fun game to explore and do "funny" things, like using wet diapers on a dragon.---U6 is the last time they use "strategic" combat in Ultimas. that is, when you meet an enemy, you move to another separate screen to do turnbased combat on a smaller map area.>ditched all the unknown potions.remember where you hoard your potions. once you can cast a fireball spell, you can burn them into ashes to get unlimited magic ashes.be careful since if you damage the ashes too much, they will just disappear. stuff also tend to disappear into walls even if you don't fireball them.
>>3982021forgot to mention that you don't need food, you just need a fishing rod and any body of water for free fish. fish can also replace money for most trades.it's just a matter of how much fish you need at the moment.just keep the ingredients and the recipe note for Rotworm Stew, those are important.
>>3982018>paid 10 (TEN!) fish to figure out how to use the mine>he gives me obviously wrong infokill all ghouls
>>3982027the mine with the not-PACMAN area? pretty sure he's the only guy who can give you that info. either you turned the dials wrong or that 3D mod screwed up the dials.
i definitely want to open it but avatar-kun would NEVER
>>3982049i do like the more organic way of leveling up in this game, compared to something like TES where you can just boost any stat, it makes sense that you need to learn mantras first
>>3982056>get rune to unlock gate travel spell>teleports me to moonstone>can drop the stone to mark/recallthis is great, well aside from how i'm back at 2F now. curiously, it was right next to my loot room >>3981675 . poor loot is all abandoned, i even stopped collecting loot around 3F, you don't really have anywhere to sell it and there isn't anything worth buying anyway. it's this strange situation where i have about 150 gold, identifying an enchantment costs 10 gold, in theory i could identify most of my unknown potions and scrolls but then what if i actually need the money for repairs and i'm broke, knowing i have 8 useless wands of poison and magic missile isn't going to help
>>3982056tfw simp endingi should have collected the 8 crystals i guess
>>3982018>well, it's ultima underworld, 3D is its main thing.You know what I mean. Having all those 3D objects while you got obviously 2D pixel art everywhere else is jarring.
>>3982142>You know what I mean.He probably doesn't, seems incredibly autistic and can barely communicate anything beyond description.
>>3982056>more organic way of leveling up in this gameno it's not. and it used mantras because Looking Glass didn't design it to be an Ultima game at first. in Underworld 2, it went back to trainer-method used in Ultima 7.>>3982088>tfw simp ending>i should have collected the 8 crystals i guessthat is the ONLY ending. and there's no 8 crystals. i swear you're a very confused AI botposter.
>>3982088Some thoughts on this game:>story and writinglearning how to speak lizard is definitely the highlight here, i thought that was great. but otherwise, i felt that the writing was pretty weak. the circumstances for the setting are a bit forced and there are few (if any) memorable characters. >combatdespite a very interesting rune system and all sorts of weapons, you very quickly realize that for best results, simply swing your weapon repeatedly. after discovering the mantra for sword, i was basically never in a dangerous situation again. >character progressionyou stop leveling up at 16. i hit that somewhere around floor 5 or 6. but there were still tons of quests to complete and monsters to kill. i do really like the mantra system, which requires you to explore and find new ways to level up. but it would be good to be a bit more forgiving here. especially at the start, you don't even know that there are more than 3 possible mantras. >explorationi thought this was great. lots of hidden doors and tricky locations, a mixture of platforming, swimming, simple mazes and rudimentary puzzles. you had secrets that needed spells, secrets that used hints, secrets that were locked behind quests. i went in expecting a soul-crushing huge labyrinth, and i found a soulful bite-sized one.
>>3982142>You know what I meanyeah, i just wanted to ask you about the other games.
>>3982183I am not answering your banal question.
>>3982181ok blogger. now make a youtube video for it and post it for >>>/vr/
