Ultima™ 9: Ascension
Description
Prepare to embark on the final adventure in Ultima--the best selling role-playing saga of all time that has nurtured generations of gamers. Answer the call and return to Britannia for your last epic quest. As the heroic Avatar, only you can save Lord British and his people from the evil Guardian who has devastated and corrupted the land. Valiant combat, magical prowess, and knowledge of the eight virtues are your weapons against evil in Ultima IX: Ascension.
The ninth installment of the Ultima series takes a leap into a vivid, detailed 3D environment that adds a whole new level of interaction to the exploration of the realm. Britannia was always one of the most life-like, well-developed, king-sized virtual lands, but this new perspective makes the experience of “living” in it much more immersive. The combination of a story of epic proportions, solid mechanics--true to the classic cRPG spirit, and that achingly familiar Ultima setting, Ultima IX: Ascension a memorable title that all role-players should experience for themselves.
Ascend to the realm of myth and legend in the final single-player Ultima game!

love the vibe
I don't know Ultima, loving it so far though now that I've figured out I can change controls to my beloved WASD movement. Everything feels pretty intuitive which is a nice change after wondering what I was doing in Ultima VIII. *marge voice* I just think it's neat.

It's a fond memory.
I completed it 25 years ago. I found it on GOG and bought it. I'm very grateful. Some of the controls are out of date, but that's fine too.

Hilariously bad
Butchery of the Ultima series aside... The storyline is pretty bad, making little to no sense in a lot of places. The voice acting is laughable at best... Hit detection is a right pain, menus are annoyingly designed, and even with the patches, it's packed with bugs, making some puzzles almost impossible to complete a lot of the time, scripts have a tendancy to hang for... my record was longer than five minutes just waiting for an NPC to actually talk after interacting (Not graphical lag, literally just standing there, animated, waiting, until the NPC speaks.) There's a number of other flaws I could list, but they've already been covered. The good points; the graphics are good, the soundtrack is pretty nice.. for a while anyway, and some of the quests were rather fun. Not a game I'd recommend if you enjoyed the ultima series, or if you're easily annoyed by repeated crashes, reloads due to gamebreaking bugs, and the suchlike, but if you're looking at a game you can laugh at, this is probably a game for you.
