- Jordan,
-
- I know the Ultima7 was 21MB, the Forge was about 1.5, and don't know how
- big Ultima7 part 2 will be. Don't get me wrong. I've been an Ultima fan
- from the start and have played them all. In fact, I own them all, except for
- Ultima5 which I borrowed from somebody who didn't like it.
-
- My point is that if they want to get on with the series, then fine!
- Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I'm being cheated when I keep getting
- asked to buy more (how many of us know there'd be an Ultima 7 part 2 when it
- first came out?) parts in order to get the whole thing! Somehow, it's
- disheartening :-(.
-
- Cheers,
-

- P.S. Some have compared this to the Wing Commander series. I only have Wing
- Commander 1 (and the Secret Missions). I thought WC 2 was a fine piece of
- software, but didn't buy it because of the Special Ops and because the
- company asked me to shell out money for the sound board drivers. No matter
- how small an amount it was, it should have been included with the original
- game. I think I'd be more interested in the add-ons if they were something
- that people could generate themselves instead of depending on Origin for
- them.
