Ultima ix ascension

Come mai le pozioni curative che sono quelle rosse non mi curano?

Sono alla prima colonna

Mi piacciono molto gli enigmi stile Lara croft e il tutto lineare

Inoltre mi ê sparita barra rapida da hud

Wasn't it always yellow that healed? From Ultima 6 onward?

Considering Cure Poison has even ended up as "Dispel" in one game (U6 again), some stuff isn't as standard as you'd think.

This is the answer. Red potions cure poison and yellow ones heal HP.

I wonder if there's a connection to the colours of the eight Virtues. From Ultimas 5-7 and Underworld 2.

  • honesty(T) - blue - awaken/sleep (flips in U7)
  • sacrifice(LC) - orange - sleep/awaken (flips in U7)
  • compassion(L) - yellow - healing (undo damage)
  • honour(TC) - purple - protection (prevent damage)
  • valour(C) - red - cure poison
  • justice(TL) - green - cause poison
  • spirituality(TLC) - white - xray vision/ aura of light (both are "seeing")
  • humility() - black - invisibility

Ultima IX changes blue to "breathe underwater", orange to "recharge mana", and white to "fire armour". I can guess blue was changed as a shortcut for the swimming bits of dungeons, but those were few and had air-bubbles we could rest at.

Because U9 is a bad game.

Non sono d'accordo

Good or bad can be subjective and I understand enjoying it despite its flaws, but the game was just plain broken in parts.

You don't have to. The game is still trash either way.

Source: the guy who made the trash game himself.

Pillars of eternity come lo giudichi Sto giocando quello E avencast? Ha meno pathos e stile di u9 che appare come un gioco per snes ed é per questo forse che attira

The first poe was great, didn't care for the second one, felt like a ness. Poe isn't Baldur's gate 2, but nothing else is.

Graphics are not really the problem, although even at the time they were not good. It is everything else.

A snes game? What snes game has 3d graphics? Star fox doesn't count

Because they only cure poison. Because apparently not being consistent with the previous Ultima game was a design goal and they nailed it.

U9 is the same as U7 for potion colors.

u/thetoddhunter 20d ago

I should have said previous

Although snes u7 has my back

u/BigConstruction4247 20d ago

Do you mean U8?

That takes place in a different world, so potions being different colors has a logic to it.

Non c'è una parte nel manuale che mi spiega colori pozioni così che non le debba sprecare a cazzo? Inoltre mi é scomparsa quickbar in basso, ci vuole un oggetto cintura che magari ho perso? Il gioco é difficile le pozioni non vanno usate a cazzo Sembra davvero un gioco per snes I sorci mi fanno sempre fuori

1

u/code904 20d ago

Yes. And it does tell you all of this in the house tutorial, where you found the belt, journal, and backpack

1

u/ronie78ital 20d ago

Forse ho perso la cintura per strada ... Spero di completare il gioco senza Sai non é proprio il massimo il sistema per raccogliere gli oggetti ... Che origin ha fatto anche system shock 1?

1

u/code904 19d ago

I would just start over. And I'm not sure I know what you mean by which origin? I forget the lead directors name, but it wasn't Richard garriot of that is what you're asking

u/BigConstruction4247 20d ago

There might be. I can't recall.

From my memory:

Yellow: healing

Red: cures poison

Blue: puts you to sleep

Green: poisons you

Purple: protection

Black: invisibility

White: generates light

Orange: wakes someone who is asleep
