It's called Ultima 4, not Ultimate 4. Please tell me your trolling me. And many people never beat Ultima 4 because the hint of the answer for the last puzzle ("Infinity") was never implemented into the game because the coders forget to finish that part of an NPC dialogue, though there is another way to find the letters...
I would consider Ultima 5 better than Exile 3, though the Underworld in Ultima 5 can get pretty retarded during exploration.
If you thought Ultima 4 was hard, don't try the Exile series. It cranks up the difficulty. Try the most excellent Pool of Radiance from SSI (not the Ubisoft one!) and their Gold Box series. If you find that too hard, then maybe turn-based, classic RPGs just aren't your thing.
Not trolling, typoing.
It's not the combat I found hard. As best I can recall, the combat seemed rather mindless, which you'd assume it to be since you only have one character. What was difficult was getting any info about what I should be doing in the game. Even Wizardry VI was much more straightforward, although I needed a walkthrough at least once and had to stop at one point due to the constant battles, the rate of which seemed to increase after I got out of the castle.
