I'm playing Ultima IX right now; this is a game from 3 years ago but it still taxes modern hardware. The graphics are spectacular and the immersivity is incredible. Now that I have a machine that I can actually max-out the viewing distance and graphic detail, I'm really impressed (and less pissed off that I can't rest in this game - the night sky is just breathtaking)
ARRRRRGH! ULTIMA IX!! *shields face and makes a crucifix with his fingers*.
That game was just one great big interactive b-movie. Wouldn't even give it the honour of the name 'Ultima'. Nice graphics though.
And on that note, I'd say that the Ultima series as a whole (barring that god-awful glob of rabbit-guts, Ultima IX) beats the BG series in terms of the best CRPGs of all time, but only just..
