I have yet to play Ultima II (it's rather high on my list to get to), but I've always been intrigued by the interplanetary aspects of the game. It seemed so terribly bizarre, and based on Garriot's interview comments, may very well have been intentional. Once I knock a few more things out, I want to get into Wizard's Crown (I will likely drop the story chronicle part of it as it would be too time-consuming) and then I'll decide what to do next. I may just do something to play just to play without any review or chronicling pressures. Ultima II might be a good choice.
Well if your an Ultima fan every game is a requirement :) Saying that.. Ultima II is really un-interesting. All the dungeons + towers are not required. You don't have to enter a single one. There literally is only two clues in the game as to what you have to do. All the planets are optional but one. Only three things are required to win the game. In all respect its a very very poor game. The quicksword thing is just a pain too.
