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!

Haters gonna hate.
This was the first Ultima game I had fully played. Let's make that clear. I hated Ultima 8 after the beginning, but I couldn't go to the graphics of the previous Ultima games - so Ultima 9 it was. I had a blast, i loved the world, the fiction, the music, the combat, the adventuring - it was great. If it wasn't for the performance running like doo-doo at the time, I'm sure it would've done better. A lot of the reviews here give the game a bad view because they are biased from the previous Ultima's - which is understandable, but unfair for you (if you are new to the Ultima series). I highly recommend it! The graphics on this, compared to today, are horrendous - but still way better than any of the Ultimas before it.

What's a paladin?
Might be okay, if it wasn't Ultima. As an Ultima sequel? UGH.

Worth playing
When I saw how poorly this game is rated here on GOG, I felt compelled to post a review because this game is worth playing. I bought Ultima IX when it first came out, and I've since played it through multiple times. Originally it was so buggy that I couldn't play it, which was quite frustrating. Fully-patched, however, with a bug guide and frequent saves, the game is quite enjoyable. The world itself is immersive, with excellent graphics (for the time.) The characters and quests are interesting, and there is plenty of adventure and action. One of the best parts of this game is exploring every square inch of the map--finding some cool or interesting things along the way. The soundtrack is also good, and even now I occasionally find myself whistling "Rule, Britannia!" Bugs aside, I put Ultima IX up there with some of my other favorites like Dungeon Siege or Neverwinter Nights. If you are a fan of either of those games, then you should definitely check out this one.
