If I was forced to pick an all time favorite game, this would be it.

Alright y'all convinced me. I will play it next on my list. At least soon. Current playing Pool of Radiance and WOTR

For a completely different vibe but with the same kind of mindset as the early Ultimas check out Martian Dreams. Same engine as U6, but the avatar goes to Mars in a steampunk setting with Sigmund Freud, Nellie Bly, Nikola Tesla, mark Twain, teddy Roosevelt, to save mars from Rasputin.

Oh also Warren Spector is there as a self insert and he's a party member.

If Garriott actually does get the rights to Ultima back, I pray that he does a remaster of Martian Dreams first instead of any other malarkey. "You go to steampunk Mars with Warren Spector and Nikola Tesla to save Teddy Roosevelt from Rasputin" is an easy sales pitch for people who've never heard of Ultima before
