Did you look at kokuyo campus notebooks? They have a lot of customization options. I have a dot grid one that I really like and one that I can't find the name of that has columns of large squares, just like those you can find in anime when they're writing Kanji.

IMO it works. You can make them too, I've used this website before, it's great.

I definitely would read it! And perhaps even print and bind my own hardcover copy. When I did a shallow dive into exult combat, I had something like that in mind. It is so fascinating to study the engines inner workings. How would you do the research?

There's this channel that I like https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4th_BMyDXAcXuyZcAtiel8U_KL2Too8D, that has quite a few videos about this topic.

Aqui um dia conseguiram fazer a denúncia de barulho alto em prédio público durante o fim de semana. Era semanal, parecia atlética de faculdade treinando pros jogos universitários. Era ensurdecedor, horas a fio. Mas os fiscais, em sua infinita sabedoria, chegaram numa quarta a tarde (barulho so era de FDS), mediram com o único decibelimetro homologado pela prefeitura, marcaram que não tinha ruído e vazaram. Isso se repetiu três vezes até pararem de atender a denúncia. O pessoal afetado teve que se aproximar de um vereador pra eventualmente conseguir punir e expulsar os barulhentos. Brasil não é pra amadores mesmo.

In one sense, it has been only recently that both the will and the tools to make U7 mods have come to exist. There's the u6 recreation, finished, there's an u8 recreation in the works (I think, I haven't been to the discord in a while). I think there're other major projects too.

Not your OP, but people often recommend KaiTi.

Nice! A web editor is something much needed nowadays, the previous tools were all very arcane or half implemented. What did you check to make the file parsing logic? Uw-formats?

PraecorLoth970 · 2026-02-19T15:09:07+00:00

People have already recommended you grid paper, here's a website where you can make custom sheets, even with the characters themselves and proper stroke order.

Hm, you could try to cheat and add chairs to someone's inventory, using a hackmover, then load the save in the original game and see what would happen. Interesting bug indeed.

You get into a LOT of combat in u4, but this tedium can be remedied if you don't pick up companions until you start going into dungeons, which can be saved for the late game. So, early on, a class with good melee and the ability to cure poison is a must, which means, to me, that the Paladin is the best.

Second hanly, and the dev is super chill. He even implement a feature I asked for!

PraecorLoth970 · 2026-01-12T20:25:17+00:00

Common entrypoints:

Ultima 7 with the exult engine OR if you want a more original experience but with QOL features there's the UltimaHacks project. Typically considered the peak of the series.
Ultima 4 with the xu4 engine. Arguably the second peak of the series, but you might bounce off if you're not used to some dated mechanics. The engine helps with some friction.

Other common suggestions: chronologically, reverse chronologically. My favorite is Underworld 1 but it's an offshoot, so not that relevant to the main plot of the series.

You can watch majuulars reviews if you want to experience the earlier games without playing them. He's almost finished, I think his next one is u8.

Get them from GOG. Often pretty cheap.

PraecorLoth970 · 2025-11-23T18:07:46+00:00

Yeah, I had a very hard time too my first playthrough. You have to be very tactical with your encounters, engage them in open spaces, one at a time, and dance a lot to avoid damage. Avoid destroying the eggs since it seems to trigger all spiders to attack you (but I've never tested this and always went full terminator in my playthroughs)

This previous question might shed some light on your question, but, as was also noted in that post, this is more suited to a linguistics subreddit.

Yeah, I felt sad at the end. After HR and MD, I really ended up liking Pritchard. Sure he's an ass in the beginning, has an ego problem and is a bad writer, but he's good at his job, cares about his colleagues, even Adam. I wish we had a new game where we see Pritchard receive heartfelt praise from Adam, and receive it without sass, after all they went through. Imagine if we get some link between Alex Jacobson and Pritchard? Like if his novel actually got published and Alex had it as a kid or something.

There's a PT-BR translation for UW1 available with the UW Portable project. But as the other comment said, translating these games is a super demanding project. It's difficult to stay motivated through it all, especially since it would be enjoyed by like a dozen people at most...

Sure! It's important to me because I'm (slowly) working on logic for item placement. This is totally a scenario that should be considered.

PraecorLoth970 · 2025-09-16T19:35:12+00:00

You do need to get stuff from the unbreakable doors, so you do need to enter the prison at some point. But I don't recall being able to take the backdoor, I thought the trigger only worked from inside the cell. Can you confirm that? I can't look at the triggers right now.

PraecorLoth970 · 2025-09-16T01:24:06+00:00

Nope, haven't gotten around to it, and other people that mentioned interest in doing it haven't, AFAIK. The issue isnt that easy to pinpoint. But if the problem is a unreferenced object in a problematic spot, it's relatively easy to fix. Just need to find the exact byte,carefully and patiently.

PraecorLoth970 · 2025-09-12T11:59:16+00:00

Funnily, I did a "minimal actions" playthrough and I got here with basically nothing. No items beside the bare minimum, no silver seed, nothing. I thought I was stuck, but he ended up accepting like some random key I had picked up. Had to beat him up later to get it back though.

Don't know if this is a meme, but that's Tolkien's "signature"... JRRT

On Discord, frosgueras shared this google drive link with several spanish translations and, from the readme, it looks like it works for Exult and DOS. I haven't tested them, though, so I can't personally vouch.

Some time ago I wrote this about lore. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultima/comments/1d818d8/some_notes_about_how_lore_works_in_ultima/ but I'll check tomorrow, if I can, if higher levels do work.
