How was Ultima VII compared to Ultima VIII? Origin has totally sucked me in to VIII with its awesome graphics and buggy yet intriguing gameplay, but I've heard in every other aspect it was a farcry from its predecessors' complexity and story.

I really liked Ultima IX as well, but Origin was already on its death bed by then iirc, and I encountered a bug that did not let me progress.

I never played any of the others so I can't really comment.

I just really loved the living world - it's why I tried the game after playing Oblivion.

So few games have that - Dwarf Fortress, Ultima and Oblivion still stand far ahead of the rest.
