Oh, another example I forgot. Couple of years or so I wanted to get into Ultima series and U4 is usually adviced as the entry title. I looked at the shots and thought 'nigga you MUST be shitting me' (and I'm pretty tolerable to old DOS games overall).

But after I started playing it, damn. Keeping those notes, reading the spell manual, finding towns on the map, so much stuff to do. Needless to say my initial perception of the visuals could go fuck itself.

Is Ultima IV unbeatable without a map?

How do you guys play the game? I've thought about printing one out, not sure if it'd be big enough, and I've only got one monitor, so alt tabbing constantly to check the map is annoying and really takes me out of the game.


Oh, and CRPG general, up to Baldur's Gate 1.

I hex edited my Ultima IV save.
