In ultima 6 i walked into the shipwrites store. I started talking to him and found out that he was mute. I said to myself "Mute eh well that'll make it all the easier to kill and steal from this guy heh heh heh" then i stole something and he called the guards that bastard.

I also had an authority problem in BG. I would spend hours (when learning the ropes of this new rpg) trying to kill the guards in Trinsic. I couldnt stand their faces. I had to do something :)

I was travelling to the south of Trinsic and saw the baby in the harpies nest. I killed the harpies and saved the child. I stuffed him in my backpack and didnt know what to do with him. I went back to the castle and every1 rejected him. I put him in a bag and threw him in the water fountain.

I had a shoot out with the the guards in the treasurey. I would take the tripple crossbow out and kill a few guards. Then i'd go into the next room and lock the door behind me. I'd shoot myself up with silver serpent venom and go out and shoot them some more.

A few times i'd enchant the guards at the castle and try to kill lord british. I would have all the people in the castle turned against him. I would also sneak up on him in the middle of the night and try some death spells on him to see if i could kill him. Sometimes the avatar would lose control and start killing all the people in the castle and stack them in the throne room.

Then there's the times i'd try to kill Batlin. I would keep running up to his branch in Britan and try to kill him with his own staff. then he'd kill me and his friends would work against him and bring me back to life at the poor house in Paws. Then i'd do it again.

*sigh* good times

Ohhhh dear I have you all beat!
My friend and I made the U7 tournament of champions!
We went to all the towns and killed one person from each. We stored each body in its own crate. Then we took them all to the boxing ring in Britain and stacked crates at the door so nobody could escape. We drew up a tournament pyramid on some paper. Then we put stuff on the dead bodies like armor and weapons. We rezzed the appropriate guys/girls, charmed one of them, and attacked the other then went and hid. The charmed guy would attack the guy we attacked and then they'd fight. We did this over and over until we had a champion, I think it was a guy from Vesper that one in the end. We gave em all a gem for a consolation prize and the Champion got to keep his equipment, got 5 gems, and a magic weapon. We then sent em all back to their appropriate towns and all lived happily ever after.

I also cloned lord british, summoned a bunch of monsters including liches, got my cannon out, used the cheat to be invulnerable, caused mayhem in Britain. The liches fought Lord British, we made LB target his clone, it was mayhem. The streets were flaming and there were corpses everywhere.

Ahhh U7 is the best game.

It sure is. I should really think about that tournament of champions sounds fun. But if you noticed all our good expiriences are horibly violent.

Oh god, that tournament sounds hilarious.

I needed somewhere to stay so I killed everybody in a nice house and moved all my boxes of stuff in.

Yes, everything that is fun in U7 is horribly violent.
except for making bread, maybe :-D But even then, I killed willie the baker because I was stealing his dough as he made it so I could make bread with it to sell to him, and he called the guards. Scumbag. So I killed all the guards, and him, and then, in my rage, proceeded to slaughter every single non invincible NPC in the game (that I could find, anyway).

Baking bread is a dangerous and violent task indeed.

I still think it was disturbing when I found a Russ Troll on the body of
someone in Britain.

When I first discovered the cheats, that magic 1234ALT(255), I went mad. I was into my early age of coding, and any attempt at modifying data in Ultima was very weak. I could barely change VGA shapes, but my dream was what the Exult team has accomplished.

So, with the Hack mover and other cheats, I subverted Britannia.
I founded my own "fellowship", which first act was a genocide in the Lycaeum zone. The lycaeum itself was turned in my castle, I replaced every item with luxury goods, a whole room was filled with piles of money, gems, etc.

Many caves around the world were cleaned from debris, cobwebs etc. (all stored in a single crate I then proceeded to hide in the desert), and I furnished them. I can remember a sort of museum, a prison, a laboratory, and more.

Not to speak of Serpent Isle. Poor, poor, poor Moonshade...

I remember the first time I discovered the polymorph feature in SI... I immediately loaded up the Frigidazzi scene a few hundred times - man she's one nasty girl!

In response to Ash's, after playing through a number of times with the male characters, I began to wonder if Frigidazzi swung both ways. The magelord's frustration is much less understandable in the latter case. He just couldn't compete, no reason to send me off to a dungeon, just admit defeat.

I always liked to hang on to Sherry in 6, build her str so she could be fully outfitted. In SI, I am obessive, I horde every item that cannot be sold at the inn of Monitor and have a better stocked weapon/armor shop than that secret cave east of White Dragon.

Pandemonium...

I take it that Frigidazzi does swing both ways? Or is it that Fibercio (spelled wrong) thinks she does?

She does swing both ways. I ended up playing a female Avatar in SI because all the male portraits were so damn ugly - pardon my french.

Ah, but I have a greater challenge, did anyone find -any- way, other than deleting or destroying, to open the 'unopenable chest'? Go to sextant coordinates 161 south/9 east, check inside the mountainside hut, and try ANY key (or any key you can possibly create with the item creator) that you have on that single chest, and it'll never open. I don't think I could even physically destroy it. It's -FREAKY- man I'm telling you!

And for the hoarding every item part, rock on Pandemonium!

The key is in the same hut, I believe. Hidden under a table corner, with less than a pixel visible. But don't bother looking for it...it's empty.

The key is in a bag which is just visible in the SE corner of the hut. Bag also contains magic boots, magic bolts and starbursts. Chest is indeed empty.

I always enjoyed loading up fellowship halls with powder kegs (best way to do this is to put on hack mover and go to a mine in Terfin, it's loaded with them--or to just create the powder keg with the cheat. I forget which number it is, though) and I'd place them in the seats and pews and wait for 9 o' clock in the evening when they started their little meeting. I'd run in with my companions and we'd all have muskets (only way for this to work would be to create them, because I don't think there are 8 or 9 muskets) and I'd shoot at one powder keg which set off a chain reaction. It'd practically blow everyone to bits, except for Batlin (if I was doing it in Britain). It was great. :)

The bad thing I done it's to massacre everybody without using armageddon.

I killed Lord British six times, and used his corpse to decorate the roof of my house. Or rather, a house that I took after killing the owners. And even then, LB would respawn. Was hilarious.

Avatar, why art thou brandishing that black sword in my presence?

Teleport to 209,407,0 (Hex coord). Lord British is there and gets all pissed off, then when you try to access the cheating menu all ya get is "Oink"
(Thats how it is in original BG, haven't checked it out using Exult)

Oh boy, the things ive done in BG. Well, ill list the best ones...

The first time I played BG, it took me 6 months game time to finish, because I kept muckin around, one thing I did was move into the big stone house in the middle of yew, because it was the only one empty, and It looked nice. I used the hack mover to clean out all the dust, and then furnish it with the best furniture I could find. I got all my companions to sit around there, while I went out fishing...

When I finally killed all of batlins companions, and unlocked the black gate, I descided to leave it alone and clean up britannia by hand.

I killed all the fellowship leaders, and took every fellowship related item, furniture, medallions, candelabras, everything, and put them all in a boat, which I sailed into the middle of the sea, then ported out of. I then put big anhks in each empty hall.
