I've got a couple more ideas:
Allow us to play the music, without haveing to play the game. I really like
the Ultima 8 music, and wouldn't mind being able to play that music in the
background whilst doing something else.

Don't use digitized actors. The reason I say this is because of the extra
space used. I played the Under a Killing Moon demo last week was very
impressed, but the demo is 180 megs. You'd think that with 180megs of demo
it would massive, huge right? It is really small though, showing about 2
minutes worth of scenes, then allowing you to mess around in an alley. You
can only talk to one person, with varying conversation paths. So what's the
point I here you ask? The point is this, if the world in Ultima 9 is going
to be huge, and have heaps of people to speak to, numbers approaching that
of U7 & U6, using digitized actors is going to eat up alot of CD's.

Also how about climbing mountains like in Ultima 5. With a grappling hook,
it would be awesome.
