It's a bit harder to player nowadays due to the text parser and our short attention spans. The game requires having maps and taking notes so everything makes sense. Reading the manual is also a must. What is here is an amazing world full of life (as much as it was possible to have in a 1985 hardware) and with more focus on the player choices, such as giving money to a beggar or stealing from a blind shop keeper. Ultima IV is far ahead of everything from its time, but it's better appreciated if you put yourself in the shoes of someone in 1985 or play the Master System version with some quality of life features added in.
