The plot's not much, but if you like those after action reports describing tactical battles in those old gold box CRPGs, you're gonna love this game:
Nice, I bought it. It looks great. Reminds me of Ultima 6, in fact! Also....
So last night, before I read your post, I installed Ultima 6 from gog. I lost my save file somewhere between the 80s and now. I had it a long time! That thing made it to several computers.
I started up U6 and picked the portrait for the Avatar and started.... and the Avatar is shown as a black-haired male in the world view no matter what you pick. How .... how did that happen? They created a real, functioning world, probably one of the first you can really say that about. And cheaped out on a day's worth of extra graphics so the portraits would match the world view dude? How??
Dupre and Seggalion look alike in the world view, too. You can't call them lazy. They really did build a world. U6 and U7 are probably the two best role-playing games ever made. But that really is a weird choice.
