I totally forgor to post this yesterday. I hope all my fellow Americans had a good Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I watched plenty of football and played some Binding of Isaac and Command and Conquer on the side. Have a good week everyone

Ultima 3 and 4 were so groundbreaking for the commodore 64. No Ultima= no final fantasy etc
Indeed, FF DQ all took heavy inspiration from Ultima. Now that I’ve cleared the opening slog of the game it gets more fun when you get a boat (or spaceship, this fantasy game has space travel, foreshadowing Richard Garriott’s astronaut forays).
It’s too bad there’s no real depth to the gameplay though in this first installment. There’s races and classes but they’re all essentially the same and you can max your stats out anyway pretty easily. I’m hoping by Ultima 4 there’s some more variation in these classes since the D&D staples are all here (fighter, cleric, magic user).
Ultima 4 got me into philosophy. It’s got depth
Looking forward to it then! From what I gather off the wiki it seems like it’s more fleshed out and Garriott and co had more an idea of what they wanted these games to become at the time.
