Ultima VI saw a vast improvement in the quality of the graphics. For it's time it really was a lovely looking game, though the main world window was rather small. Which makes navigating your ship accurately very hard. Even on land it's quite easy to become lost.

    Ultima VI was the first Ultima to have music for the pc version.

    For the first time you can see the faces of your companions, and people you talk to in close up. This really helps you to feel that you know them.

    The main story in Ultima VI is not as good as in Ultima V, though the culture of the Gargoyles is fascinating.

    With the Shadowlords destroyed, and Blackthorn banished, Lord British has resumed his rightful place as ruler of Britania.

    The avatar returns from Earth to find Britania under attack from Gargoyles, the people of Britania and the Gargoyles are waging war on each other.

    For some reason the Gargoyles main attacks are directed at the shrines of virtue, an assault on the believes of Britania itself. They also desire the Avatars death, and most Gargoyles will attack you on sight.

    The avatars quest is to find a way to save Britania from this new threat.
