Garriott doesn't play games, was always too busy spending his money on his rich guy adventures. It'd be like a writer who never reads, what sort of novel would you expect from such a person? But this explains why Spoony kept finding continuity problems. Garriott didn't play any of the Ultimas after IV or even design them, he had people like Warren Spector working for him to handle that part while he sat in his office. The last Ultima made no sense because Garriott hadn't been paying attention. He had a list of a few character names, virtues, artifacts and chants, and that was about it. The part I disagree with Spoony over would be that the godawful game was somehow EA's fault. It's all on Garriott.
