I finished now, the end fight is somewhat of a challenge, had to reload a couple of times. Anyway, I already started again, the first half of the game is very motivating! I just wanna sell steaks and buy mad phatz all day!
This time I play only with Torham and Kol, a fighter. He has 0 mana, but with staff and stuff he can learn magic quickly. Well I already chopped alot of steaks and bought 2 fire poleyn and Excsymir...fun! Not sure I will continue with the skullkeep part.
Chaos strikes back is the hardest of all Dungeon Masters, its better to import a good group from DM1. And the Dungeon Design is crazy, you dont go from level 1 to 10 like in DM1, rather 4 sections all over. Plus you fight the biggest monsters all the time, Dragons and such. Traps everywhere, not much water. And even if you look at the maps you need to study them for half an hour before you understand what the hell is going on and where you are.
Its still more fun than the keep part of DM2. You should play it, but dont get discouraged in the beginning, you are literally thrown into a dark pit with no armor or weapons and immediatly attacked by lots of worms. First cast light!
I am not sure I will play Ultima 8, I liked Ultima 6 very much and recently played it again, but I dont have good memories of Ultima 7 and 8, they seemed more like action games, I'm probably wrong, I did not play them much.
I never heard of shadow caster. Is italy your hero there and juve the enemy? (joke)
