Suggestion Summary.

(I hope some one in Origin sees this...)

Reading the last mail and post on the Suggestion sector I can summarize:

Great 3d Card Support. Ultima IX is going for 3d hardware only, so it must offer a with support for 3d cards. Wing Commander Prophecy has a short list of official suported 3d cards, we hope this will not the case of UIX.
Olso it is known the native support for Vodoo Chips, this is nice, but it should be olso included navtive support for other chips (as powerVR).
And last but not least, the 3d native for Vodoo should be for speed, DONT INCLUDE graphics FX, that can be only enable with 3dfx. As in WC5 some effects like fog and other could only be enabled with a 3dfx card, when it can be easilly supported by other chips.

Speed Compensation Game. It would be a nice idea that the graphic engine could manage to incress o decress polygon count or detail to mantain a certain frame rate.

No Arcade. We don't want another MarioBros Ultima, Use Virtues ! Do not give all tips in the game let us think not just follow the NPC instructions. Do not transform it in a multimedia presentation...

No so high requierments. Awesome graphics and sound without needing a : Pentium II, a pair of Vodoo II, 64 mg principal memory and more than 100 mg in harddrive.

Diferent Paths. It would be nice olso if one could choose another path rather that the one of the eight virtues, even to ally to the enemy, this would provide much more reality to the game

Speech Titles. If it is there speech, a title option for foreign countries.

Complex Task. We dont want an NPC telling me Do this, pick up that, go there...
We want to think the path, discover by ourselve the solution (even invent one)

House. It would be nice to have a house.

Portraits. And if it is possible that you could ad a one's photograph (a bmp file or something) in the Avatar portrait.

An intelligent, present Party.

See Past npc as Lord Blackthorn, Natasha and Dupre.

See the end of the Guardian.

Release date : before Christmas of 2001.

An easier, complex, complete, magic engine.

Not to be the last Ultima and Avatar story.

Some way to write in the word to choose in chats (as in Underworld) so to guess mysteries, plot and avoid linearity.

More interaction and real life including banks (fully operation to deposit and make money) , work (cooking, acting, fighting), relationships (please Natasha back !), heoric acts (save a town from orcs attacks), be in sometime an outlaw, and some normal life aspects : eating, bathrooms, sleep, dream, etc.

What was there and seemed to be included:

Bags that allow an easier way to find objects and to relocate them.

Quality Digital Music..

Full Speech.
