Ultima: A Kitchen Sink Science Fantasy
I make an attempt to break down the first Ultima game's storytelling - such as it is - while beating Richard Garriott's 1981 classic. 00:00 Introduction 01:17 Character Creation 02:29 Why are we he...
Ultima III is best Ultima. Fight me.
I'm biased, it was also my first Ultima and computer RPG. But it's still solid. I later played I and II as well as the later versions, but the former were much more simplistic (good, but simple), while the later ones grew past the core of Ultima III and became their own complex things. Including eventually the great Ultima Online.
For me, as a kid in the 90s, the nostalgia candidate is U7 - which is the "lame" popular choice, I guess. III is definitely the best of the first "trilogy", though, IMO.
It's nice to see that the series is being rediscovered as the influential pioneer in PC game design that it was. Sadly, the great retrospective series by Majuular will probably not be on PeerTube any time soon.
