(How does one burn a corpse? And what happened if one killed them, but
didn't then burn their corpses? Or was it that they could be ressurected if
their corpses weren't burned? *thinks for a moment* To sum up, more or
less--could one ressurect gargoyles?)

You can't burn corpses, but for about 30 gold a pop, you can get the nice man
in Empath to do it for you. His eyes gleam fiendishly as he notices the
body you are carrying.

If you kill someone but leave them around, you can resurrect their bodies,
although it isn't always successful (hence my 'undead' utility to resurrect
people's minds). I've heard there is a way to force a soft-reset of people
using magic (the Charm or Fear spells might work, something that changes
their internal goals) but I've never actually got around to trying it.

If you burn or otherwise lose the body, resurrection becomes vastly more
difficult, although it is possible to achieve with a bit of hacking
(e.g. sacrificing Dupre, and then resurrecting him with the other NPC's
mind). This also transforms Dupre's body into a more suitable host, so you
won't get Finn etc running around in the form of a knight.
[See the U6 section of my website for the gory details.]

It is impossible to resurrect mature gargoyles in-game. I don't know about
immature/wingless gargoyles, such as Beh-Lem.
It should be possible to resurrect Dupre's body into a gargoyle, but you
might only get 1/4 of the body or other nasty effects (like when joining
Smith into the party.. his ass gets left behind when he moves around).

Definitely worth trying.. >Smile

Lumina might get on a bit better with Smith if he saw him drunk. And
certainly if he saw him drawn. Wink

Thoughts: what happens if you give a corpse the number of someone yet
alive? What happens if you give it the Avatar's number?

Also, what defines a corpse to be a corpse, as far as healers and
cremationists are concerned? Could 'spare parts' be ordered via Iolo?
Could one have a piece of cheese that one could ressurect into a dead
character, or an edible corpse? And with the former, if possible, what is
the result of attempting to ressurect the original corpse of the dead
character?

Probably. I didn't try that, though.

Resurrecting copies of people is.. interesting. I resurrected Tiberius
(who was the healer doing the resurrection) but I only ended up with
one person and 400 less gold.

However, resurrecting someone far away does seem to work, although I
suspect that the game has merely 'summoned' them from their original
location. I did this was Naxatillor the Seer.
I also did it with Smith, although I'd forgotten the original was
still alive.

Naxatillor worked perfectly, although I had to kill him with a
cannon I summoned up, since killing him in cold blood will prevent
him from resurrecting properly.

As for Smith, that was not so good:
http://www.jpmorris.force9.co.uk/magnu.gif

(I was listening to 'Chronicle of the Black Sword' at the time.
Just as I got around to Tiberius, with Finn programmed to be
Smith, it began playing 'The Conjuration Of Magnu', also about
a horse being summoned. I thought it was extremely apt.)

I suspect that it has to be a 'dead body' class object for the healer
to recognise it as a corpse.. they don't usually offer to resurrect
cheeses. You might be able to get the 'frame overflow' effect to create
a corpse in the shape of a cheese, though the numbers are probably
too far out for that.

I don't use that spell much, and I can't remember what it does.
IIRC 'enchant' allows you to make weapons come to life and kill people
in Your name..

Well, it cuts him in half. Is that good enough?

Very interesting. Assuming that in its totality it's not just poetry, what
is the music like?

On this album ('Live Chronicles') there are two tracks, the intro,
which is the first verse spoken word, followed by the main track which
is pretty much the same flavour as the rest of the album.
I have not heard the studio version.

Think mid 80's epic metal. I see a lot of parallels with Spinal Tap,
and Iron Maiden's vaguely prog-like 'Seventh Son' album.

Ah.

*thinks*

....for the record, I've never (to my knowledge) heard anything even vaguely
related to the terms mentioned in your last paragraph.

Can the equivalent be explained in practical terms? If not, thank you
anyway.

Greetings.

In article <Fk9ne.8682$BR4.7134@news-server.bigpond.net.au>, Wesley wrote:

In order from best to worst:

Ultima V
Ultima IV
Ultima III
Ultima VII
Ultima VI
Serpent Isle
Savage Empire
Ultima VIII
Martian Dreams
Ultima I
Ultima IX
Ultima II
Akalabeth

Haven't yet got around to playing the Ultima Underworlds, so no ranking for
them.

For reference, here's roughly the order in which I started playing them and
when I finished them:

Ultima III (ca. 1986, completed ca. 1991)
Ultima IV (ca. 1987, completed ca. 1992)
Ultima V (25 December 1988, completed ca. 1994)
Ultima I (1988, completed ca. 1997)
Ultima II (1988, never completed)
Ultima VI (25 December 1990, completed ca. 1991)
Savage Empire (1990, completed ca. 1991)
Martian Dreams (1991, completed 1991)
Ultima VIII (1994, completed 1995)
Ultima VII (1997, completed 1997)
Serpent Isle (1998, never completed due to annoying bug)
Ultima IX (September 2000, completed 2000)
