I need an Ultima 7 remaster. Still isometric, but maybe with the improved perspective of Ultima 8. Or just go full 3D like Baldur’s Gate 3. I dunno.

I’ve never played 7, but I loved Ultima 8. That’s another game that needs a remaster.

Classic game. I used to bake and sell bread in one of the shops for piles of gold. I heard if you followed the instructions to win the game, it would take two weeks to complete.

I never really found my way to the Ultima games, though I of course knew they existed. The isometric perspective in the screenshots and youtube videos is making me a little dizzy, though. Is it easier to get used to in play?

They’re a bit archaic to me since they were quite a bit before my time, but I have so much respect for the Ultima games and kinda wanna make myself figure my way through them…

Great game. Lots of memories.
