What began as a plan to interleave Byte-Sized Virtue episodes with shorter Spam Spam Spam Humbug episodes featuring commentaries about Ultima 9 wound up being more or less entirely disrupted by a cold that leveled WtF Dragon’s family over the Christmas break (and, in fact, laid WtF low with a bout of pneumonia; joy).

So in an effort to get back on track, this week Jarrod Kailef (Kailef Dragon) offers his thoughts on the game.

    Yeah, WTF changed my mind on this one. I’d given Ultima 9 a solid try twice. Once when it was released and ridiculous buggy. Once later on when it was vanilla. Then I finally played it with Beautiful Britannia mod and the other fan patch the fixed the bugs and then Ultima 9 really came into its own for me.

    OH! Also the speed cheat that increases the Avatar’s run speed is absolutely vital. Put all of that together and it’s a fun little game. Britain is actually a nice little sandbox when the game is stable enough to run it.
