So Origin does this thing where it gives away a free game for some reason. Ultima 8 Gold Edition is now free for a while.

US only I think. But if you connect to the origin website through a us vpn it will let you get it and you'll be able to download it in the client.

Possibly. It's not even for sale in the Aus store.

Is it worth downloading this Origin launcher if I already have a disk with U8 somewhere?
What exactly defines it as the 'Gold Edition?' Just the speech pack from what I am seeing?

Well if you lose the disc, this is absolutely free. As far as I know, having the Origin Launcher doesn't hurt anything. I mean the game is just tied to your account, is all.
I think the Gold Edition has voices in it. Maybe a few bug fixes. Maybe. I hope.

Gold edition is speach pack + jumping patch applied. It's what later came on CD-ROMs. There is nothing new on in both Gog and Origin releases (except for the bundlong of the official hint book,I think)
