And I may post some spoilerific observations in that game's post, but I wanted to brag-- and also ask some gaming advice.<br /><br />The last five games I've played have been Ultimas 2 through 6. As each game ended, I was eager for the next... but I think I need a break from Ultima. My next game would be Savage Empire and while that looks fun and all, maybe I want to play something else. Silver Blades is also coming up in 1990 and I found the first two of those to be fun. Might and Magic 2 also is tempting-- but it seems like it will be very looong.<br /><br />So many choices. So little time to play games...<br /><br /><br /><br />Joe Pranevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997014242774219758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-43277431894904207972014-06-11T19:47:39.922-04:002014-06-11T19:47:39.922-04:00I thought it was just the guy trying to sound &quo...I thought it was just the guy trying to sound "metal".

I'd rather people err on the side of caution.<br /><br />As far as weapons, I've only lost a few short swords and such, but I have experienced the "disappearing chest" traps on a few dungeons. I have no idea if any of them contained vital items or not. So far, I've explored the dungeon west of Pegana, the dungeon east of Pegana across a river, and the one-level passage to the north. What should I have from these dungeons that's game-breaking if I don't have it?<br /><br />I'm currently in a dungeon in the mountains a ways to the east of Pegana, but I don't think I've met any disappearing-chest traps yet.CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-76559990270876867752014-06-11T12:29:20.803-04:002014-06-11T12:29:20.803-04:00I'd take world devastation over Facebook any d...I'd take world devastation over Facebook any day :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-57104397135807396332014-06-11T12:08:17.279-04:002014-06-11T12:08:17.279-04:00That's the problem.
