Ultima VII: Black Gate...

Have kinda started playing it and I found this baby on an altar in the
centre of a bunch of circular stones. My party members keep telling me to
get him as fast as possible to Lady Tory. WHERE is Lady Tory? (I haven't
bothered to write down any notes, just going by what I remember.)

And is it absolutely necessary to follow a semi-linear path to finishing
the game? Or can I wander around and eventually work up to finishing the
game on my own path?

Oops - you weren't supposed to find that yet. Didn't the Guardian's voice 
say something like "You're going the wrong way!" Don't worry - I did the 
same thing. Anyway, Lady Tory lives in Serpent's Hold. The harpies stole 
her baby and took it to their nest.

Feel free to wander around. You will have to follow some semi-linear 
trails to beat it, but exploring never hurt. Nowhere near as bad as 
Ultima 8.

	Take that baby to SERPENT'S HOLD!  You should, I think, get a reward
in experience points(BIG reward).  As for the side plots.  DO them they give
you mucho experience points and help you gain levels quicker.  BTW the side
plots are not required to beat the game.  To beat the game all you really
need is 5 things.  You could get them right now if you wanted to.  However it
would be much tougher early on in the game.  

	Oh not so you don't do side quests but trying to get into the
Fellowship is NECESSARY to beat the game.  SO do Batlin's quests and follow
Liz and Abe around Brittania!


	Good Luck!

Serpent's Hold - at the bottom of the map near the Fellowship Isle.  It may
be a bug that you get these hints from your comrades before finding out that
a baby is missing.

   And is it absolutely necessary to follow a semi-linear path to finishing
   the game? Or can I wander around and eventually work up to finishing the

In the Black Gate it is not absolutely necessary, but it will take a long
time.

Not at all!  You only need to join the Fellowship in order to get the
key to the Retreat, and you can accomplish the same thing by landing
the magic carpet inside the walls.

	Yes that is true but the correct answer for a beginning player is not
just to jump the walls.  This way the player gets better acquainted with the
notorious fellowship.

That's a flag problem.  Lady Tory lives in Serpent's Hold, anyway.

Well, eventually you will have to complete all the main quests, but no, 
there is not very much linearity.
