dtgreene: If you decide to try the Ultima series, I thought of another pitfall to avoid:
Ultima 4 through 6 will ask you a bunch of questions at the start. If it is your first time playing, do not choose the humble option when it comes up. Choosing the humble option will cause you to start with worse stats, and in Ultima 4, choosing it every time it's offered will cause you to play as the worst class in the worst starting location. (Note that this isn't just subjective; the Shepherd class really is the worst class, and was quite clearly intended to be.)
(Of course, if you decide to replay one of the games and want a bit more challenge, feel free to play as a Shepherd, but be warned that the start of the game will be rather rough.)
