One of my favorite things to do in Ultima is wander around : the forest or desert and stumble upon neat things that have nothing to do : with the main plot. You wouldn't be able to do this in a wide view. I : would prefer keeping the Ultima 7 view and just making the actual world : about a thousand times bigger. a hundred? I remember when SSI released Azure Bonds for the Apple, and it was "so big" that it took 8 floppies, and if you go far enough you had to change the floppy for the next section of the map. I also remember an Ultima for Apple where the towns were on one disk, underworld on another, dungeons etc.... Over all there was one floppy for each important section of the world. Well lets bring back the good old days of disk swapping, lets push the tollerance of the game fans. MAKE ULTIMA 9 AN 8 CD GAME!!! hahahaha <evil laugh> If U9 is a good game that brought bake the fun of U4-U6, if U9 broght back adventure and the role playing of the avatar of virture, and if the disk swap came at moments that I could prepare for like new continents or major cities then I would swap 8 CD's (But I would grump a little) Cobalt Dragon -==(UDIC)==-
