Dual boot Windows 2000/Mandrake 9.2 I can't stand XP – removed it from my system – may give it a go when SP2 comes out. Still too many ways to trash a system. Also, it’s easier to create a dual-boot with Windows 2000. YMMV. But no matter what distro I use, I still find myself in the “no matter what ...

Yeah, I meant the burnt out house north of sleeping bull and west of the mint. I remember the first time I went there they talked to me like I knew them and I think it hung the game/or can hang the game. On the same subject - they should get rid of the scroll in hidden cave Shamino points out when y...

Well, this has nothing to do with graphics, but a couple things I always wanted to see, to the point of hackmoving the graphics to do it: (with spoilers) 1. Fix the Cleanup Lock Lake (get paper signed for Miranda quest) so that it can be finished and not repeated. 2. Actually clean up the lake, so i...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3084975541&category=62053 It's at $900 US Dollars with 3 days left! There is a guy on the lemon64.com board who is bidding and he sez his bid is legit. To be honest, I consider myself a Ultima nut, but I've never seen this offered before. Un...

That Ultima X stinks sooooo bad of marketing is what kills me - "Hey X as in Xtreme is hip - we couldn't miss with the 13-18 male demographic." This stinks so bad of EA's crapulent hand I feel like honking! Why don't they just call it Ultima XXX and have everyone running around naked and k...

I actually ran through this part with rc2 last night - and he's right - I went through a lot of magically locked doors (the Dungeon Deceit and Despise) and glowing doors with no problem, but when I got to the magically locked door with the hydra - nothing but dozens of wasted spells until I ran out ...

Well, there are a couple books (used) available from Ebay and Amazon, that have a lot of interviews with LB/RG on U7 and all the ultimas. The one I own is the "The Complete Ultima" or something - I'd have to fish it out.

Either way, the most extensive info is probably in the Ultima books.

Daemongar

Isn't it legitamate, since there is a (hard to find, for sure) lever right there?

Daemongar

I also understand what yer saying. But U7, to me, was more about the story and exploration of the huge open-ended world, not combat. Combat in U7 seemed somewhat sloppy and mysterious to me compared to game like Final Fantasy. But that didn't matter. *shrugs* It never seemed too challenging to begin...

Daemongar

Hi, I would like to try out. I haven't been here for 200 years, I'm a little rusty. Um, yeah, nice theater.

Ahem...

I -AM- the Avatar!

Hello???? Oh, wait, let me reload!

Daemongar

WOW - this is really neat - You could make above ground all one map, maybe SI and U7 on the same aboveground where the chunks are all contiguous - not teleporting around, but the whole U7 map is as it should be when extracted. Who knows, leave Moonshade via Furnace, end up in Moonglow if you take th...

Daemongar

Actually, I'd like to see U8 done with NWN - probably wouldn't be too hard, what with summoning elementals, all spells could be reproduced - hell, it could be multiplayer as well. Actually, at the rate things are going, it hopefully will. I really liked U8 - not the jumping, megaproblems, whatever, ...

Daemongar

Thanks for the heads up - I'll take a peek this weekend!

Daemongar

Off the top of your head - do you know if it works with the XU4 engine? I'm guessing it would, but wouldn't mind some confirmation before I launch into it...

Daemongar

Hey, just to let people know there are two things I've seen in the last few hours that kind of struck me: 1> There is a C64 emulator for palm, so now all my time to kill between meetings, in the bathtub, etc can be worthwhile playing U4 & U5 the way they are supposed to be played - using the C64...

Would be neat to have an IRONMAN ultima where ALL the dialogue is in either Serpent Script or Britannian Runes.... hmmm... Ironman Ultima Rules: All dialogue in runes 1 Death and you start from the beginning All prices in game are x2 Monsters are set at +1 Difficulty Some of the most obvious upgrade...

Daemongar

Woo-hoo! I can see it now - you have to shoot down 20 ships to get the key from the princess!

Wait a second, for some reason this sounds familiar...

Daemongar

I'm sorry, but I have to say it - it's been bugging me for days: Am I the *ONLY* one who wants to have completely naked Avatar and Party skins when they strip? (ok, maybe not Iolo & Gwenno ;) I feel so sleazy, but when I saw the colored undies it got me thinking, and that in and of itself is dan...

Daemongar

*blush*

Thanks for:
a) not flaming me, and
b) the info!

Daemongar

Hope this doesn't take away from anyones BETA3 work, but here goes: Is there a way to delete items on the ground with Hackmove enabled? I've always, always, ALWAYS obsessed over cleaning up Lock Lake - and have gotten tired of putting things in backpacks, running over across the map and puting thing...

Daemongar

Nah - it wasn't in the original version. The Great Forest was hard enough without impossible to kill wisps attacking - 2 or 3 at a time. I had to enable hackmover to put the wisps in a bag to keep them from making my game hell, but they respawn, so you end up with a bag full of angry wisps and more ...

Daemongar

They went for $26, in case anyone needs closure...

Daemongar

They were really on to something with Frigidazzi, weren't they?! I remember finding out years later that a female avatar would get hit on her also - and RACING! through the game to check it out and forgetting constantly about the flags you have to set to get things to happen - you have to go to the ...

Daemongar

Are those coins really that rare? I mean, they are from Ultima 1, but they aren't from ULTIMA 1 - the plastic bag one. I don't see them going for over $100 because U2 I think goes for about $150 (I've seen it for more and less) - and U1 would probably be a little more rare than U4, which goes for ab...

It's due north of the northernmost point of the frozen area is how I would descrbe it. A red telescope on top of a mountain cordoned off.

One thing is weird tho - I didn't see 1 naked woman in the area near Freedom, I saw one who then turned into 4 when I looked in the telescope... strange...

Daemongar

I know the feeling - it's kinda like seeing your grandma naked: sure, you ain't never gonna have to worry about not never having seen her naked, but when you do, you don't want to anymore and kinda wished you hadinta.

Wait, it's not like that at all... lemme try this again...

Daemongar

I believe it's for the virtue/anti-virtue of Danged-if-you-do/Danged-if-you-don't. I believe you meet Frigidazzi in there...

Daemongar

I'm pretty sure she wear chainmail in every picture I see'd her in. She was a peasant after all... Either way, not trying to jump on anyone, just saying that people are making RPG programmers out to be the biggest bunch of sexist perverts in the world, and we all know they're nothing like that, right?

Daemongar

Could also be that there isn't a historical precidence for female plate-mail, so it falls on the shoulders of someone who doesn't know. The only historic evidence would probably be from descriptions of amazons or whatever from Roman text, or from German Myths. Either way, women in plate are a comple...

I didn't get sound with my download(!?) Is there another one, or does anyone have the story? It was pretty confusing (to say the least!)

Daemongar

I'll try not to spoil anything, but after casting Armageddon - I walked over to Batlin who made an interesting speech about his trip to Skara Brae - at the end of the speech I dropped to desktop - the results of STERR are as follows: SFX 255 is out of range SFX 255 is out of range SFX 255 is out of ...

Thanks!

Hello - I just installed the 1.1 Beta Final for Win32 and did notice one thing odd - when I click on Party Members and NPC's I see descriptions - but things in my backpack (Leggings, mandrake, map, 23 Gold Pieces, whatever) or on the ground/out in the open (sign, tombstone, tree, fork) don't seem to...

I played U8 on a 486 DX2-50mhz with 8mb of RAM, a 512kb VGA video card and *no* disk caching, with the HDD in PIO MODE 0 It was love. Love? LOVE?! I hope you are talking about the post-patch u8, because pre-patch U8 was a nightmare! Just the act of walking around in the catacombs and dying for NO RE...

Daemongar

At last! A thinking man's Ultima... Man - that EA really knows how to treat a franchise - just ask Westwood, Bullfrog, or Origin! BTW: I still have ads from EA from when M.U.L.E., Archon and the like were put out - about how they were a bunch of "Artists" searching to create - what a crock...
