Ultima VIII?

[Cosmas Atha]

To Developers:

Have you ever considered making exult for Ultima VIII??

[suraimu]

Nope, never.

That Pentagram thing, that was just a fluke - they were drunk when they wrote that.

To Cosmas Atha: have you ever considered reading the FAQ?

I may be in the minority, but I think that game sucks. The graphics and game play are terrible. It is nothing like any of the earlier games and I am completely dissappointed. I played the first few minutes of it in the town and gave up. I loved U7 Part 1 and 2. Game play was better, graphics were good and the plot was better. I don't think I will ever finish U8. Comments anyone?

[Dominus]

look at the snapshots of the pentagram tools. Use them with U8 and tell me again that the graphics were bad. They are beautiful!

I always thought the graphics were wonderful, but I just got bored after wandering around for a while. The object and NPC interactivity was not what I was expecting after previous Ultimas. On the plus side, it has psychedelic mushrooms.

I played through Pagan again recently because I always had fond memories of the game, in spite of the well-publicized problems. Well I must admit the problems with the game in my opinion do outweigh the assets.

I think it's got a great, if dark, storyline; unique and fantastic spell-casting, some interesting characters (though not as much humor as earlier Ultimae), some very good graphics, and a great ending. On the downside, it has horrible jumping puzzles, repetitive music, nowhere near the interactivity of False Prophet or Black Gate, linear gameplay, NO contiguous map (it's a series of smaller maps connected at "joints"), and the cliffhanger ending isn't really resolved in a satisfying way by Ascension. (About which don't get me started.)

I'd love to see someone rework the plot and some game mechanics of Pagan into a better game -- obviously this would have to be cleared with the powers that be, but considering what's been done with Ultima 5 & 9, as well as Akalabeth, I think it might be possible...
