ULTIMA III END MANUAL

I chose a classic wizard, to get access to the high-damage attack spells, and a druid who can cast the important cleric spells-up, down, exit dungeon, and heal-rapidly because her magic points return quickly. I chose a paladin and a ranger for my main fighting characters, because they can use magic and can cast 'open,' eliminating the need for a thief to disarm traps in treasure chests. You get a party of four characters, unlike Ultima I and II, and you choose among eleven professions, each with disadvantages and in a few cases, advantages. After that, I had to choose what characters to create.

The first thing I did before ever plugging in the game was translate the spellbooks from the cute latin-like words and detailed but irrelevent diescriptions in the manual to something more useful. The biggest difference between Ultima III and the last two is that fighting monsters brings you to a strategic combat screen, in which you must slice and dice your enemies one by one This makes combat a bit more exciting-not just press A and hope for the best-but it makes it take much longer, probably a minute to several minutes per battle. The game is frankly not very fun-There's piles upon piles of endless monsters, and every few seconds I seem to be stuck in combat. Well, I played Ultima 3 for perhaps 4 hours, including the time to analyze the manuals, today.
