This game makes a fine monument for what EA was and what it did to their own Franchies

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!

This game ain't Ultima
This is a buggy, poorly written, rushed zelda clone. This should have been the clymax and the answer of all the questions in the three trilogy. This is a mess and a joke instead. If you've played any other episode of the Ultima saga, never even touch this one.

Caveat emptor
Expanding Britannia into 3D was an excellent move. There is plenty to explore and discover. As mentioned previously, your character's strength can be a major factor in determining what you can safely explore. When I played this in 1999, there were some annoying technical issues, generally in the form of game crashes. Hopefully GOG has fixed these problems and this is a fully functional copy. If you're a "hardcore" Ultima fan, the story and moronic Avatar may bother you. Apart from these considerations which cause elitist rantings against Electronic Arts and Ultima canon, neither of which are a logical basis for arguing against Ultima IX as a game, it was a pioneer title in open-world exploration. Hell, they even gave the Avatar a ship at some point and allowed free-roaming (though, of course it was very buggy). Considered on its merits as a game, Ultima canon and EA aside, it's a decent open-world title. Again, hopefully GOG has fixed it up to resolve the major technical issues.
