Damn, I still have Lazarus installed but never have the time to play the damn thing.
This is weird. I just was trying to play Ultima 5 and 6 since I never really gave either much of try, and I still can't. So I tried Ultima 7 again, and still think it is rpg-lite pre-console apocalypse console popamole precursor game. I know 6 (and I am pretty sure 5 had even less) had really bad rpg elements.
Does the DS remakes of these games improve on the rpg elements? Or is it still 3 stats, pray to level up and level up barely does anything, retarded questions by a gypsy to decide your weak class?
I know I ahd 4 on the NES, but I think I had 5 for the NES too as the little bit I played seemed very familiar and I know I never had 5 for the pc. Was that an NES game too?
I think its funny how as a really young child I still disliked popamole but lacked the ability to really define or figure out why. I think it started to become clear with LoL and all the rave reviews it got, but games like Thunderscape not even making a blip. I remember thinking "How to people love this? It seems like it was made for six year olds. There is just nothing to it."
My main question is - does the DS remakes of Ultima 5 and 6 add any sort of oomph to the rpg elements? Or is it just rpg-lite DS combat and rpg-lite DS stats? Or worse, the original rpg system from the Ultima games? If so, can I play them with the DS 2 engine with the DS2 chardev mechanics?
Just about to give this a go and thought I would investigate this mod a little more. I found a reference to it as a "patch" from the guy who runs the Sylores Compendium site. He mentioned that its not actually on the site, which is why its a bit of a mystery. Guess I will use it and hope for the best.Is there any documentation on what u6p_bugfix_mod.dsres linked by Infinitron does? The only trace I can find of it is in this thread... I assume its to address post v1.1 issues, by the dates, but not sure.
Sorry, can't seem to edit my previous posts to include this. Found a clear description of the patch in another thread in the same forum. Not sure how I missed this before...Just about to give this a go and thought I would investigate this mod a little more.
