I would like it to expand a little more on the harbor quests, but it's still a very decent pirate tale that feels classic. It has a little bit of everything. Treasure hunting, Surviving after a shipwreck, Swashbuckling, Sea curses.
...I'd play WoW.
Very immersive games. The only thing I really dislike is something that's common throughout the ULTIMA series: It requires a lot of inventory management and sometimes you can't tell if you need an item ir not.
The game is mostly about exploration and killing. There are enough sidequests for it to feel like a proper RPG, but nothing special. As other people have already said, you'll miss A LOT, even with an 80% to-hit probability. IF at some point the combat becomes WAY too difficult, you can try quicksaving before each hit and quickloading if you miss or if you get hit back really bad. Technically it isn't cheating.
Is this what GOG stand for?
