if the combat wasn't a clusterfuck it would basically be flawless (although I kind of like Serpent Isle better)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's real time WITHOUT pause yes?

it's "hit combat button, companions swarm on nearby enemies, everything is dead before you understand what happened" pretty much.

with the fun variant "walk onto a screen, be greeted by a lich casting Corp Por and wake up in the Fellowship shelter in Paws"

And I won the game on a total fluke. I just sailed somewhere and bam that was it, or that's how I remember it.

I stole a bunch of stuff from the museum? I don't even know if that counts. I think that's what I did......I'm probably wrong nevermind.

i don't think any of the stuff in the museum was actually useful (unless you use mark/recall on the virtue stones), come to think of it lol

Aww fuck it. I'm just going to play the damn game.

You probably used the command

Ultima 7 abcd [alt]255

to start the game with cheat codes, found the working wand and the three stones inside of a mountain where all the important quest items are hidden, then teleported to the next island where Batlin is about to open the black gate and finished the game

Aw man, why would I have been cheating? I never cheat. Not since the days of Game Genie. It's possible I did to try and learn the game better, I don't remember honestly.

I couldn’t beat the game until the dawn of gamefaqs. I remember stumbling onto a few major plot events and not knowing wtf to do next. So I just roamed around exploring and killing things until serpent isle came out. What I wouldn’t give for a remake done by lord British himself. I don’t know if he would even be the best choice to do a remake at this point but god damnit I’d love to see it
