Exult is ok, but the game runs subtly different from how I remember it playing back in the day.* Basically combat feels faster and sloppier, and since there's so much combat in the game this can be a big issue...

Does it differ? From my recollections of Ultima VII, combat was always a bit sloppy: pathing was poor, and so was your control over your companions, even with the use of those combat directives (attack nearest, attack largest, etc). Just curious. Haven't played it since it first came out, and then I was entranced.[/b][/quote]
I can't explain the difference exactly... it has something to do with the timing and the way character movements are synched up with melee swings when you're fighting. It just feels more solid under DosBox for some reason.
