Gentle reminder that Ultima VII was probably the best period-relative RPG until Baldur's Gate 3, even considering Neverwinter Nights and Dragon Age :)

No words for how this game blew my mind back in those days...

That's my point -- the onward march of technology means that not only can I continue playing U7, the work of passionate fans has made it so that I can play an improved version (higher perceptual frame rate, higher resolution, better and more consistent sound, etc) that takes advantage of the improved hardware on a device I bring with me everywhere.

Personally I'd put Planescape: Torment in consideration but yes Ultima VII is great.
