[:plant:] "You haven't played WHAT??"

Ultima VII. Anyone who has not played this has no right to call themselves a fan of rpgs. Compared to Ultima VII, most "rpgs" are little more than interactive story books with no actual roleplaying allowed. You can play the game anyway you want and still muddle through to the end.

In a shop and can't afford the armour you want? Pretty much every rpg going would make you go and kill monsters for three hours. Ultima let you kill the shopowner, steal everything then ressurect him (With total amnesia, yay) and sell the stuff back to the fucker. Too much crime will make one of your goody goody followers complain so you can happily chop him up.

Ultima VII was doing well what Oblivion tried to do and failed back in the days when if you wanted to run a game that needed 4 mb of RAM you had to re-write your config.sys first. A true role play game is a rare thing and Ultima VII was one of the originals and definitely the best.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
