That feeling of "being lost" isn't there anymore. Ok, I still enjoy Ultima VII, and a lot more than I did before, but /that/ particular feeling is gone. The Black Gate's world now lies disemboweled on a surgery table and every piece of it, every most hidden item and tile - I can inspect it under a magnifying lens.
Ah well, I think this is the price we pay for "opening the black box", the price we pay for curiosity... and retroengineering
