    Minecraft Roguelike RPG Modlist?

    I have been thinking recently about how easy it would be to turn Minecraft into a really sick version of Ultima Underworld or Daggerfall but with VR support. Has anyone curated a decent modlist to add RPG elements and NPCs? Maybe Dark Sun/Conan-style magic, monsters from AD&D, or the castle...

    Request for recommendation for a turn-based rpg game with multiple classes.

    I am looking for a turn-based fantasy RPG that is non-linear and has LOTS of classes and attack types to use. Preferably in 2D and pixel art, as ultima. I wanted to try Knights of the Chalice 2, but was disappointed that it didn't have the necromancer class, which is my favorite (The price is a...

    Ultima Underworld vs rest of the series

    My understanding is this is the best play order of the Ultima series (excluding the entries that are considered absolutely not worth playing): Akalabeth Ultima I-VI Runes of Virtue I-II (Game Boy versions) The Savage Empire Martian Dreams Ultima Underworld I Ultima VII pt.1 Ultima Underworld II...

    Ultima 8 was always destined to suck as "Super Avatar Bros" was INTENTIONAL from the start by Richard Garriott himself!

    In digging for other things I discovered this interview with Mike McShaffry that is perhaps the first outright confirmation of what people knew but it wasn't believed because of "Blame EA!" "Again, it was…definitely Richard that wanted to do that, and he was inspired by Prince of Persia." -...

Though I love NMA, it has a terrible problem with inactivity. So, a poster that I'm irl friends with...

    Ultima Ultima V MIDI Music Configuration

    I've been playing Ultima V for the first time and used a patch to add back the music to the DOS version. I did the same thing for Ultima IV, but there I found the default soundfont grating and so used this NES style 8-bit soundfont to make it sound more like the original Apple II version...

    Ultima What makes an "Ultima" game to you?

    A much more interesting, pertinent version of a question of the one already up about Baldur's Gate. What would make you accept a new game out as an "Ultima"?

  12. Advice for trying out some older RPG's

    Hello all, I've read some codex articles over the years but never posted before. I have a question I'm hoping you can help me with. I'm rather young, 27 years old, but I've never had a problem playing older video games until somewhat recently. I've been trying to get into some of the older PC...

    hi In Ultima 5 pc version, I found all armor was totally useless. Is it a common problem? I have research this problem for several days. The result is this. All armor in this game has no effect. Apple version was confirmed to work. But PC version doesn't work. Armor is totally useless...

    The opening of Avatar's epic journey doesn't really start after game's intro, but actually by reading the lorebook; where you found out that britannia's antagonist isn't a major evil that you have to wipe out or seal away as you might anticipate.Is more insidious and intangible: Lord British...

    Ultima Ultima V the tyranny of "virtues"

    Soon after finishing Ultima IV, I decided to Start MSDOS Ultima V right away. Few hours exploring townes under the rule of this guy blackthorne, I noticed He deviated the true understanding of virtues and distorted them into a set of draconian laws. Previously on Ultima IV, each towne was about...

    Incline Games like Ultima 3?

    Can you recommend some party-based games with soft permadeath (like Wizardry and Ultima 3) and nice open world exploration and NPC interaction? Bonus points if they're not blobbers. I don't like to lose all my progress after a TPK, so games with an optional ironman mode are not enough (also...
