I decided to do my occasional playthru of the Ultima series and am back at one of my favourites: Serpent Isle. I took it upon myself to see just how badly I could sequence break the game without resorting to overt cheating like hack-mover (except when I need to stuff things into people's packs past their carry limit). Thus far, I have managed, with nothing more than some urns to use as stairs and a few boards, make at least three main plot points (two of the three cities you need to visit and the Dream Realm) completely irrelevant. I still need to do the third city, though; some critical plot coupons are handed out once you get done, there. But, so far, I've seen good results with my blatant fuckery.
