I was an avid Ultima player on my C64 in the mid 80s, when my high school buddies' and my idea of multiplayer was whose turn it was the "drive" the C64.
I've drifted away from RPGs in favor of FPSs over the years. This game brings me back full circle.

It has all the depth and detail of the early Ultima games, but realized in full 3D.

I won't repeat all the comments regarding detail, immersion, huge, countless things to do. Suffice to say, if you're an old school RPG guy who likes the first person perspective today's games can provide, this one will make you want to relive those days.
