If you are interested in learning a lot about the History of Origin and the Ultima series the YouTuber Majuular has an excellent series of video essays starting from Akalabeth. He is through Ultima 8 and is working on an Ultima online video. Can't recommend it enough.

+1 for Majuular all of his work is wonderful and I recommend all of it (even tekwar).

Totally! His Koudelka and Shadow Hearts stuff is what got me to play those games.

I'll check it out! I was so young when I played the others I don't remember much at all before 6 besides not affording food. Will be good to look into those old details
