As a relative newcomer to the Ultima series, I think it would be a wise to include a synopsis of the previous Ultima games, characters, etc. When i bought my first Ultima (The Black Gate), I was confused as hell -- who was this Avatar? Why do all these people know me? Yes, there was a brief outline of previous stories in the fellowship handbook, but it (as I only learned later) was a revisionist history and only added to the confusion. So, for the benefit of new players, include background information on characters, cities, and storylines of previous games (esp Ultima 8 which I refuse to buy merely for this purpose) Thanks. --Andrew Luyt

Many of us I venture to guess, have become acquainted with the Ultima series through U7 and Ultima Underworld, have tried to lay our hands on earlier episodes, and have been put off by the relatively primitive graphics and interfaces.

I actually liked the graphics/gameplay of U6 better than U7 and ALOT
better than U8 (what else is new?). Don't change the engine too much,
maybe just improve the graphics to a higher resolution...

I've played all the Ultimas starting from U2, but I know for a fact
that I'd be willing to spend money to replay Ultimas 2 through 5 done up
with an U7 engine. It would be worth it, just to see what they come up
with for the KGB gards in U2.

I'd like that U9 has less bug than older ultimas. I'd like too that the end of the game is something that is worth ending the game. Not an end as U8 one in which you don't know what happend, whether you succeed or not. It makes me feel like I spent so much time with this game end I don't know how it ends... Not really nice... E.G.
