III is a dungeon romp, IV is a role-playing game not just "adventure with power-ups" rpg game. V and VI build on IV, you get a lot out of it if you already completed IV and have investment in not just the setting but the thesis.
Ultima IV is the seed that all the games that follow are grown from. You'll see references to I, II, and III in later games but they're explained when they're used so you're not even missing out on lore.
