You need to be level 6 as the warrior to overpower the Butcher consistently.

Sommerswerd asked me to change this
I liked Ultima 7, but didn't actually do any of the missions or follow the storyline. It was the first "big open world" for us, so we just went around slaughtering, stealing, and putting things in weird places and laughing about it
The only thing I can really remember though is a giant pile of naked dead people we put right beside the road just outside of one of the towns, and right beside it was a giant pile of clothes
I have looked at a bunch of the different Ultima games and I did play Ultima 4 or 5 for a while, and that time followed the story. But did not finish. Also Ultima 8, but just a bit.
Other than that I've played Skyrim but the stupid inventory system and me accepting all the quests and not playing frequently enough just got too confusing and annoying.
I really like dungeon crawling games. I used to play a text based one for hours every day, just ASCII dungeons, and you walk around, collect stuff, fight monsters, and collect treasure. I can't remember the name though.
I also quite liked Legend of Grimrock. It's the same thing as the ASCII game except there's pretty graphics. Some people will find it limiting because you can basically only look in 4 directions, like in the ASCII versions. I almost beat it too, but eventually the levels just got too elaborate, and it was all a bunch of the same concepts, just piled on top of each other, plus I dropped some item I needed and would have ot look for it 3 levels ago so screw that, I uninstalled the game, that was as much entertainment as I was going to squeeze out of it. Which was a lot, and I only paid $5, so money well spent

Then you had to run past a wall with a barred window, close the door behind you, and shoot him till he dies.
God Erika WTH.

I was somewhat better at Might and Magic 6....Except for the time i lured Goblins into the starting village. So my party would die, go to the underworld, go throught the cinimatic "Your task is not done in the land of the living" get booted out of the underworld. End up back in the Goblin-Infested starting village with no weapons, die again, repeat process....

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and their respective expansions are available for 10 bucks a pop on iOS and Android devices. Been hitting those hard in the extremely limited time I have for games.

That's a fact.
Mentioning other games is ok, but not mention my poll games in that respect, is not! It is called spam.
If you value a game over another, just be free to mention it, but also I have to say, this is a poll of 5 games. Vote and be quiet.

I didn't vote 'cause none of the ones i played are on the list...
Although my brothers did play a lot of Baulders Gate, Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights, but they never let me use the CD's,(they had their own computers)

There is a blog dedicated to this very topic. This guy plays games from the 1970s through the early 1990s, so a different era of gaming, but his blog is fantastic if you've played any of those games.
There is also a thing called Great Old Games (which most of you are surely aware of already) which takes these old games and configures them to run on modern computers without the need for an emulator. They even, I think, try to fix bugs and such where possible. Worth a look!

Sadly I never played any of these and ultima games are extremely dated and hard to get into now. The legend of grimrock does do a good job of making that style approachable at least. I have the might and magic remake, might and magic X or whatever, but haven't had time to play it.
My early gaming years were many hours spent on just a few titles, I mean prior to digital delivery games were expensive and you had to get your parents to drive you to the store! So pc was mostly just civilization and some serria titles like gold rush and king's quest, then later rts games like red alert and total annihilation. And of course a ton of mario and sonic and zelda on consoles.

Rambling and inconsistent
Largest issue with Baldur's Gate etc is that second edition of DnD is trash.

When your only other exposure is 1st edition - where if you're a non-human in any class other than thief your levels are capped in the single digits - it seems positively revolutionary!!
And in all seriousness, for computer gaming purposes it's more than adequate. Though IIRC Icewind Dale uses 3e?

Dungeon Hack uses AD&D 2nd edition..It also uses randomly generated dungeon s and has a Permadeath option which deletes all your character's saves if your character is killed. Fun times.

I'm embarrassed now. I know what all of those are, but haven't played any of them except for 30 minutes of Baldur's Gate and some quantity Neverwinter, which was fun. I liked the dialogue options better if you max tanked intelligence though. So I guess <hipstershades> Tales of the Unknown: The Bard's Tale. Graph paper and THAC0 4eva!
