Ah geez, this stupid thing wasn't supposed to send, it was suppose to save until I got my thoughts together. One of these days, I'm gonna... Well, I might as well tell you what was on my mind: I finally got around to playing U9 and I don't get the way it ended. It seems that what they were saying about it nearly 5 years ago was deserved. It's easily the most buggy Ultima I ever experienced, if I watched the Space channel for a week, I'm sure I'd see the same cliche concept used to explain the Guardian's origin (which I'm quite sure was not what Garriott had in mind when making U7) but the end wasn't what I expected at all. At the beginning, before the Avatar even leaves Earth (whose presence there is already in contradiction to the end of U the gypsy tells you that you won't ever return to Britannia or Earth. So I was expecting something really gaudy and ostentatious, like the MASH finale. Instead I got... what I got. And that music seemed really inappropriate. So what happened to the Avatar? Did he go to science-fiction heaven or something? After the credits were done the program exited in a CRD sort of way. Is that what was supposed to happen? Or would I have had my questions answered? I've only now just discovered the dialogue patch (http://www.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?/rpgplanet/ultima9/u9diapatch.zip) which promises to explain many things, but I there was no mention of the finale in the summary. >> Stay informed about: U9: Ascension to where?

In article <eth0u05qa8nm6n2ebc64fngopg0drddac3 DeleteThis @4ax.com>, angus DeleteThis @hamgate.concordia.ca says... In my case, the release of energy and my subsequent recombination with my dark side (I always figured that part to be one of the weakest pieces of story anywhere) was a bit too much for me, and I lost consciousness. The last thing I remember was looking down and seeing Raven and British looking up. Next thing I know, I wake up in fairly comfortable bed in a place I will come to know as Vault 13. But that, and what happens in the Wasteland after, is a tale for another day. -thehawk Fallen Angel Dragon, UDIC >> Stay informed about: U9: Ascension to where?
