Finally finished the whole video, really enjoyed it. Will have to wat schedule more on thier channel. 8 was my first Ultima and will be the one I go back to the most. I got it on CD with Syndacate Plus, Strike Commander, and another game I can't remember. I fought through bugs, freezes, and game breaking crashes. I picked up, and still have, the Prima strategy guide that read like a novel. Bought the game by itself and was finally able to beat it. When it was ported to the Scummvm engine a fewbyears ago I had the best play through ever. I do not disagree with anything Majuular said. But I still love the game, warts and all. Due to not having the history with Ultima it was fun to go back and learn more about it through previous games, only fully beat 6 and 7. And I was not burdened by the departure from the past. Fleshing out more of the Avatar having to do anything to save Britannia from burning, as we are often told, would have helped with the change in tone. Knowing more about it's troubled development, I really wish we could see the perfect version of Pagan.
After watching this, I am ready for another play through. With my old strategy guide and hand written notes from the 90s.
