I kind of like the design of this game more than Serpent Isle in it's UI.
Gives the character more of a unique feel.
Ultima VII, while being a cluttered game, is the most realistic in terms of managing equipment in an RPG I have ever seen. You literally STUFF your bags with crap! XDD
ulmaria.webs.com - Ulmaria is a private and free Ultima Online server. Our goal is to provide a more refined UO experience. We are true to the Ultima Series and base our world around that. Our world is a true sandbox offering actual land for housing, mortal guards in towns, so if you commit a crime you will have a fighting (or running) chance. 600 stat cap, no skill cap. RPG server, PKing and PVP allowed any time anywhere except for starting town.
I've been gradually playing through the old pc rpgs I missed (wasn't a pc gamer in the old days). I'm currently playing through Planescape: Torment (which is effing amazing! It honestly only barely qualifies as a game, but the world and story are like nothing I've ever seen). Next up is the Gothic series.
I'm wondering if the Ultima games should be included in my list.
If so, where would I start? There's so many, and the earlier ones are so... primitive.
@Tooninoot Guild Wars isn't too bad.... Although nothing compared to U7. The closest good MMORPG to U7 besides UO, is probably Ragnarok Online, IMO. Still, uses the good old 2d sprites.
I imagine a dev meeting for this game; "Boss, testing shows players spend 60% of their time shuffling items around between the world, bags and companions, and struggling with character windows overlapping, overloaded inventory weights, and the inability to see items. Perhaps we should auto sort character windows, turn containers into auto sorted grid views, turn gold into a simple text counter, and increase the carrying capacity?" to which the boss responded: "You, sir, are a tuna head".
@pulseforce To anyone unfamiliar with the game series, my comment will make a lot of sense the more you watch of this Let's Play. The inventory mess and window troubles will reach epic proportions soon enough. :-D
@pulseforce Actually, back when the game came out, it was pretty fun. You have to realize that even Win 3.1 was kind of new and Win 95 wasn't out yet. Thus, moving items around with a mouse was AMAZING and revolutionary for a video game of the time. Only now, when mouse is used for EVERYTHING and all the time does it seem tedious. Most people were using DOS and typing thing out back then and hardly ever using the mouse that much.
@usagichan9991 Hrmm... I remember playing Civilization 1 on my first computer using a mouse and definitely didn't think about it being an "amazing marvel". It was just another input method like the previous keyboard, joystick or joystick, and I sure didn't salivate at the awesomeness of holding the mouse. As for the game, it did most things wrong when it comes to its windowing system and inventory system, and it cannot be blamed on age because other games BEFORE it had grid based inventories. ;)
By the way, your comment is completely off the mark, in that you think Win3.1 was an example of "the first mouse based OS" and that "people at the time marveled at computer mice". That is not true at all. Maybe for yourself, but not people in general. The first successful, widespread computer to feature a mouse and graphical interface was the Apple Macintosh in January 1984. Windows 3.1 came out in April 1992, and even so it wasn't even the first Microsoft OS with mouse support. Even DOS had it.
@pulseforce You are correct, but I think you slightly misunderstood them; usagichan9991 didn't say that Win3.1 was the first graphical-based OS, just that Ultima VII used the mouse considerably more than many games of the time. Of course, I wasn't alive back then so I have no clue how accurate that is, but from what I see, you put the phrases ' "the first mouse based OS" ' and ' "people at the time marveled at computer mice" ' into usagichan9991's proverbial mouth.
@saveyourselfagain Here's an exact quote: "You have to realize that even Win 3.1 was kind of new and Win 95 wasn't out yet. Thus, moving items around with a mouse was AMAZING and revolutionary for a video game of the time. [...] Most people were using DOS and typing thing out back then and hardly ever using the mouse that much", so I didn't put any words in his mouth at all, he really did think that Windows 3.1 introduced the "revolutionary mouse" - which isn't true, it was already commonplace.
@pulseforce The only way you can read that quote is that he's saying "Windows 3.1 was new, Windows 95 wasn't out, people weren't used to Mice yet", that's exactly how he put it, so he IS referring to Windows 3.1 as the first mouse-based OS. As for games at the time, it depended on the game. Platformers used a joystick, gamepad or keyboard. Everything else used the mouse to control a cursor. You have to remember the mouse was introduced in 1984, so it wasn't at all new/revolutionary in 1992.
@pulseforce Windows 3.1 was indeed the first WIDESPREAD used OS for the PC (NOTE: we are not talking about other computer systems here since we are on the topic of a PC game [Ultima 7]).
@usagichan9991 You seem to have an issue with not only dragging subjects out of topic through misunderstanding, but even in the context of that misguided viewpoint it simply does not take in the big picture. For example, hardly anyone drove the VERY VERY first automoble, and despite being revolutionary in invention, it would not EFFECT most people for many years later.
@usagichan9991 The point here being that the issue is NOT when the mouse existed/was first invented/first used/which OS used it first/or even which OS used it the most, but when using the mouse for drag-n-drop in a PC video game going to become more widepread. Ultima 7 certainly did play a big role in that event.
@usagichan9991 You come back a year later and post SIX replies IN A ROW. You are neurotic, in addition to spouting nonsense. I don't have time for you, so I will ONLY give you ONE last reply: From your comments, you sound like someone that played U7 back in the day and read on the box "this is the first Ultima game that relies entirely on a mouse!" (which it was). To then take the leap from THERE to saying that U7/W3.1 popularized the mouse is WRONG; the 80s was FILLED w/ mouse GUIs and games.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@pulseforce I see even after a year your reading comprehension did not improve. U7 and W3.1 did contribute to popularizing the mouse on the PC platform and to say otherwise is just asinine. You've had two people (at least) now point out your mistake in reading and understanding. Just accept you are wrong as you have been.
@pulseforce Ah, right you are; I think I was misreading the comment myself - my apologies.
I must have taken usagichan9991's comment with a large cup of salt.
The first exact quote on your part was worded somewhat differently, but I see where you were coming from. I was seeing the quote as more of a statement that the game used the mouse more than most games of the time, but that could well be my propensity to misunderstand others. Sorry about that :x .
@pulseforce Again, you did indeed distort my words, since I never said anything about the mouse itself being new. You took this quote: "moving items around with a mouse AMAZING and revolutionary for a video game of the time", a quote where I SPECIFICALLY said video game(s) and said moving items around (drag-n-drop), and you turned it into a statement supporting the idea that the mouse was new during Ultima 7. Clearly you dragged the subject way off topic as was your mistake.
@pulseforce I didn't say Win3.1 was the first mouse based OS so you did indeed put words in my mouth and made assumption about what I was talking about. Clearly taking things out of context is an issue here. We are talking about a PC video game, I think many people are aware of Apples/Macs and how Steve Job stole the idea for the mouse. The mouse was nothing new for the time period, but what was new was how extensively the mouse was used in Ultima 7 and the use of DRAG-N-DROP.
@usagichan9991 In adition to this, using the moveable inventory "windows" and character screens, all of the "revoluntionary GAME (not talking about OSes as you seem to think [I merely mentioned Win3.1 as a context for time period associations and UI]) mouse UI setup" was indeed something amazing and exciting at the time period. The mouse UI setup as far as drag and drop, etc was actually a selling point for Ultima 7 and was advertised/PR'd as such.
Also, I just noticed that the Avatar came over from behind his computer on earth wearing a full leather dress. I wonder which websites he had been visitin.
@TheIceman884 : There is a tool called Exult, just google the words Exult and Ultima. And yes, Ultima 7 is utterly brillant. I started my gaming hobby with Ultima 6, and still have very, very fond memories of the series.
@Kikoskia I do wonder why you pronounced it that way when the capital I such as "I tell" was exactly the same as Iolo's name. And then you pronounced his name "Yolo" when you weren't reading dialogue ;)
@TiborGallai dude it's a name i can't say half the names in roleplaying games don't let a small thing ruin your fun. and Kikoskia good job at makeing great let's plays:)
Actually Red Moon gates started appearing in Ultima VI: The False Prophet(though I think the first one technically appeared in the end of Ultima V when Lord British exiled Blackthorn, not sure haven't finished V in sometime) and are usually created using the moonstone if memory serves.
You know, now starting to watch this LP for the 3rd time, it just struck me: "Why the hell is the Avatar in the get up that he starts in if he JUST came from earth?" I am mean what kinda nut players there PC wearing armor and holding a dagger? (I mean other thatn Richard Garriot).
@leaf12321 Ultima 7 needs EMS memory DISABLED to work, and the default is to have EMS enabled in DOS-Box. Thus you need to edit your config file to have EMS turned off. If you google Ultima 7 Dos-box config help, you will probably find detailed instructions on how to do it.
Kiko, I started watching these in the TEXTp ASCII bit for April Fool's Day, and it looks . . . remarkably the same. I advise trying it while you can. The Guardian in the intro screens looked even more absurd!
Can someone explain why this line, of all lines, made me laugh more than any other line? Not that the rest of the video wasn't funny, but goddamn, I'm still chuckling at the banana remark.
@0NoName9 try to change your DOSBox configuration file options. Like putting cpu=max and/or core=dynamic. Check the DOSBox wiki for more explanations. There's also the VOGONS forum.
Actually, I pronounce Iolo same way as you, Kikoskia. But its written as Iolo, not Lolo(that's how I used to call him when I was younger).
I didn't know that my companions had the rights to steal... But Shamino has more of a Thief-face than Iolo.
@ JackXIII: You might mean Ultima 6. That's where you begin and find out Gargoyles are attacking Britannia. At the beginning they almost offered as a sacrifice, then you're saved by your friends.
I preferred Ultima 5... Or was it 6... Can't remember, it dealt with Gargoyles trying to kill the king of Brittania and you traveled with your friends... Only character I can remember was Dupre.
That's 6. I think 6's combat was better, but 7 is better in most every other way. The story is more interesting (red muppet villain aside), the world has more detail and interaction (though perhaps smaller due to no more multi-level dungeons), but the combat in 7 basically devolved into random beat-downs with little strategy.
@JackXIII That would be Ultima VI: The False Prophet, Ultima V is where Lord British is trapped in the underworld after trying to raise the Codex from the abyss and Lord Blackthorn takes over after being corrupted by the three Shadow Lords.
"You must be careful, however. Most things cannot not easily be taken (...) You are the Paragon of Virtue, your companions will get angry and eventually they will leave."
@Kikoskia Did you download this game somewhere or is this an original copy? I heard it is freeware now, but have no idea which sites are reliable so that I can download it. Love your LPs btw.
shame, yo-low!, and it's the paladins you steal from too.-though Dew''pay is in Hell. om. Always wondered how to pronounce Jhellom. Valoria indeed... shame, EA.
Really works that your British! You'll understand when I say I got this for £2.99 in a Woolworth's store! Even then it ran too fast on my PC and so I called EA (this in May 1998) and a nice man called David said that he would send me a Mo'Slo floppy and instructions to slow the game down!!! Never mind Brittania being a different world; software companies and PC gaming was another world back in the 90's too! Can you imagine EA doing the same today to solve a problem?!
ha ha! I love ripping off the fellowship. what a bunch of crooks they were. When you get to Hook's abode many things will become clear about Fatlin and his fellowship. A truly awesome game, as were all Ultima games.
1. What are your cpu cycle and frameskip settings for running U7? I downloaded the game today while Blizzard was working on all its WoW servers and am a bit clueless as to how I might proceed. :P
2. From the looks of this game, any Ultima series title that you might LP in the future would be terrific, and I'd support you throughout. I am loving this LP even more than Albion, and that's saying A LOT!
3. Glad to have you back after a short absence. :D
lol, gotta love how everybody who plays this just steals the 100 gold from every fellowship building they come across without thinking twice about it XD
My favorite game ever... must have spent 1000 hours on this silly game back when I was younger... and didn't have a job, and sat at home all day because it was too cold to go out... :)
Yolo! you conspriciry evil theif, doust thy steal and'th say'th was given thee items, of stealing?'th. Ha! Thoust must'th go'th to'th directly to'th jail'th'th, and do not go past go, do not collect £200.
a 'sandbox game' is a game where you can decide to not play the storyline and instead do mostly what you want, for instance, if you want to go on a mindless killing spree, you can, if you want to be good and do side quests, you can, but are limited by how many quests there are. Eventually however, you might possibly have to play the storyline
It depends on who you're giving it to in your party. Some people are against you stealing others don't care. Just give it to the ones who are against stealing and they won't steal anything. You can ask them to temporarily leave your party while you steal it but if you are caught stealing your party member may turn against you. It's an awesome game. Way ahead of its time.
ahhh Ultima ...i remeber Playing the Underworld and this other one i belive it was number 9 where you can Jump and So forth ...but i maybe mistaking ...anyways Thanks for uploading this slice of a Game to us and giving up a Little Tip if anyone wants to play it ((Remeber YOU can not steal So dont put things into your Avatar's backpack))
I commend you for going the oldschool way of playing this in DosBox instead of Exult. I am also a happy owner of the Ultima Collection, and wishing it would have contained Underworlds and Worlds of Ultima as well.
Hey kid, save time by saying the same thing omitting the word "school" (eg say old without saying school after it. yes you don't sound like a nigger when you do that but you save time , space and sound civilized)

You know, now starting to watch this LP for the 3rd time, it just struck me: "Why the hell is the Avatar in the get up that he starts in if he JUST came from earth?" I am mean what kinda nut players there PC wearing armor and holding a dagger? (I mean other thatn Richard Garriot).

leaf12321 1 year ago
@leaf12321 Ultima 7 needs EMS memory DISABLED to work, and the default is to have EMS enabled in DOS-Box. Thus you need to edit your config file to have EMS turned off. If you google Ultima 7 Dos-box config help, you will probably find detailed instructions on how to do it.

Kiko, I started watching these in the TEXTp ASCII bit for April Fool's Day, and it looks . . . remarkably the same. I advise trying it while you can. The Guardian in the intro screens looked even more absurd!

Can someone explain why this line, of all lines, made me laugh more than any other line? Not that the rest of the video wasn't funny, but goddamn, I'm still chuckling at the banana remark.

@0NoName9 try to change your DOSBox configuration file options. Like putting cpu=max and/or core=dynamic. Check the DOSBox wiki for more explanations. There's also the VOGONS forum.

JagexRSC 2 years ago
Actually, I pronounce Iolo same way as you, Kikoskia. But its written as Iolo, not Lolo(that's how I used to call him when I was younger).
I didn't know that my companions had the rights to steal... But Shamino has more of a Thief-face than Iolo.
@ JackXIII: You might mean Ultima 6. That's where you begin and find out Gargoyles are attacking Britannia. At the beginning they almost offered as a sacrifice, then you're saved by your friends.
Its definetly my most fav. Ultima game of all.
CaDaAu 2 years ago
Is it not Iolo (Eye-o-low),not lolo?
Spraggsquatch 2 years ago
I preferred Ultima 5... Or was it 6... Can't remember, it dealt with Gargoyles trying to kill the king of Brittania and you traveled with your friends... Only character I can remember was Dupre.
JackXIII 2 years ago
That's 6. I think 6's combat was better, but 7 is better in most every other way. The story is more interesting (red muppet villain aside), the world has more detail and interaction (though perhaps smaller due to no more multi-level dungeons), but the combat in 7 basically devolved into random beat-downs with little strategy.
KilloZapit 2 years ago
@JackXIII That would be Ultima VI: The False Prophet, Ultima V is where Lord British is trapped in the underworld after trying to raise the Codex from the abyss and Lord Blackthorn takes over after being corrupted by the three Shadow Lords.

Really works that your British! You'll understand when I say I got this for £2.99 in a Woolworth's store! Even then it ran too fast on my PC and so I called EA (this in May 1998) and a nice man called David said that he would send me a Mo'Slo floppy and instructions to slow the game down!!! Never mind Brittania being a different world; software companies and PC gaming was another world back in the 90's too! Can you imagine EA doing the same today to solve a problem?!

Kiko:
1. What are your cpu cycle and frameskip settings for running U7? I downloaded the game today while Blizzard was working on all its WoW servers and am a bit clueless as to how I might proceed. :P
2. From the looks of this game, any Ultima series title that you might LP in the future would be terrific, and I'd support you throughout. I am loving this LP even more than Albion, and that's saying A LOT!
3. Glad to have you back after a short absence. :D

vivisdarksidevids 3 years ago
a 'sandbox game' is a game where you can decide to not play the storyline and instead do mostly what you want, for instance, if you want to go on a mindless killing spree, you can, if you want to be good and do side quests, you can, but are limited by how many quests there are. Eventually however, you might possibly have to play the storyline

so if you steal items, your buddies will angry with you and leave, but if you take the item and give it to them, they say nothing?
SuperStarhawk 3 years ago
It depends on who you're giving it to in your party. Some people are against you stealing others don't care. Just give it to the ones who are against stealing and they won't steal anything. You can ask them to temporarily leave your party while you steal it but if you are caught stealing your party member may turn against you. It's an awesome game. Way ahead of its time.

I commend you for going the oldschool way of playing this in DosBox instead of Exult. I am also a happy owner of the Ultima Collection, and wishing it would have contained Underworlds and Worlds of Ultima as well.

Sure using Dosbox is more faithful to the original, but what's wrong with Exult?
I haven't played around with it much, but it seems mostly the same as playing it the old-fashioned way.
