	SwiftHeart Dragon listed a series of gripes towards the Ultima 8 game.  34 in fact.
I'll tell you what. With all the suggestions you made about the memorizing spells and such why don't you play SSG's Dungeon
and Dragon games and quit complaining.  I personally loved U8 and was fascinated and impressed with the reagent use in magic
it makes the game feel more realistic.  About the water deal and drowning, granted not all islands are surrounded by sea
cliffs which you fall off if you walk five feet, but can you swim in chain mail.  NOT!  Try it you'll see why the
programmers made it the way it is.  Meanwhile Origin is making the transition from floppy to CD in a remarkable short time,
this means they will also have to make the transition for people, that's why U8 was installed on harddisk.  Back to
SwiftHeart's posting, I don't understand why he or she is so hipocritical.  SwiftHeart asks for more realism like:
	
	16) Bring back the eating system. Make sure the characters automatically
	    feed themselves if there are food available. Only complain when there
	    aren't any food around.
	(Try is and isn't instead of are and aren't.)
	
	29) If you can climb up, you can climb down.

Then asks for inane things like:

	20) Bring back "you can see it, you can use it" interface.
	(Having trouble with chests Mister Long Arms? Aaahh!! TRY DETECT AND DESTROY TRAPS. DUH!)

	24) Make sure there is a way for us to kill Lord British.
	(TRAITOR! Admitted its fun once or twice, but you deserve the butt kicking British will give you.)

	34) Perhaps let LB join the party.
	(How many times have you seen Prince Charles or President Clinton in camos shooting the enemy and throwing gernades?)

Granted these strange type of logic could happen in another dimension, but not this one. Na Nu! Na Nu!
Sorry SwiftHeart, but I had an extra two cents I had to throw in. CYA.
