Ultima IX - Killing Lord British with poisoned bread

submitted by Krupo

1 decade 6 years 2 months 1 week ago

Inspired by the retrospective article on the many ways of killing Lord British - alter ego of game designer Richard Garriott who is behind the entire Ultima series.

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=181917

I love the description: "British's invulnerability can be circumnavigated by tricking him into eating poisoned bread you brought with you from your home dimension. The full Looney Tunes style death sequence has been immortalised online. We especially like how he chokes, falls down, gets up again and finally dies. Good going."

The video doesn't show it, but to accomplish this feat, when you're back in your home on Earth, you put rat poison in the breadmaker, then let the game transport you to this point, where you eat his prepared meal and place the bread in its place.

I know it's not really "British" but I'm putting in that channel anyway for the comedy value.

The "British channel" comedy factor is twofold. I'm sure you'll figure out why.

*sigh*

I loved the Ultima series so much, even played Ultima Online for years, but this game just sucked so, so, so, so, so bad. What a tragedy.

Did he have any good loots?

U-IX had so much promise, yet failed so miserably. I bought it. Brought it home.. the CD was physically broken. Even if it wasn't broken, It would have been unplayable due to bugs on release. I had to wait another two weeks to receive a CD in the mail with the working 'patched' version.

It took what.. another year+ before some patches were released to fix some major bugs. By then it was on the shelf to collect dust.

Agreed, sorely disappointing. Worst of all, if you managed to run it, was the ending. You become a constellation in the sky with a techno soundtrack? Cripes!
