Yea, U9 was kinda crappy. The appearance of the Avatar's old companions were lame to say the least. Didn't feel like the old Iolo, Shamino, Dupre etc. The game itself was littered with bugs. It was as if the folks at Origin Systems were in a rush to publish it without really testing the game first.

Heheh, I know the feeling, when U5 came out, I thought to myself, things couldn't possibly get better than this. Even though the graphics were nothing more than simple stick figurines and blocks, the gameplay was awsome! More than I can say for the majority of recent games available right now.

Surprisingly enough, I enjoyed playing U8 dispite the absence of any old companions. It was dark, dank and gloomy....The atmosphere really worked well. The spells were a treat too. Especially the Necromancy ones.

Well, I guess I'll stop here. I could go on forever about Ultima and I think we'll save that for another thread [img]smile.gif[/img]

Still, always a pleasure talking to another Ultima fan!
