Pathological habit to annual semi-compulsory playthrough of Ultima VI bothers me. Not because the habit itself, but because there are nothing in the game I wouldn't already played through dozens of time. Wake up from your bed in this world. Hallucinate a little bit with apparitions and... Blah, blah, killing hundreds of trolls, headlesses, and bandits in solo mode, blah, some sailing and teleporting, blah, blah, free shrines, blah, blah, get characters to 8th level, blah, blah, blah, roam through same dungeons in same order than sooooooo many times before, blah, blah, go to the underworld, get some stuff and Behlem, blah, blah, train Behlem to 8th level, blah, blah, gather stuff for and make a balloon, blah, blah, blah, already 3 full spell books (you still need one, and not full as you need only few spells to beat the game), blah, blah, blah, at this point all map pieces are collected already and swamp cave is already explored - probably twice... blah, blah, blah, then you have a mega hoard of valuables in your room in the Lord British's Castle (and possibly also all corpses available in the game world, only Minax and ilks know why)... blah, blah, blah, when the game starts lag seriously and/or collapses because of your accumulated hoard (you do nothing as all f***ing characters are already been in fully equipped with magical armors and best stuff long time ago with XP 9999 at 8th level) you then reluctantly stop your grinding and go to the Codex to see same climatic end scene animation...
This is synopsis of it. But... (I forget mention swamp boots! Dammit!)
A year or so later you do that same again, only to do that same again... and again... and again...
And I'm annoyed that I couldn't develop that same pathos for Star Control II (preferably SCII - Urquan Masters), the game that would earn such habitual repeats too.
But that is very mild and tame compared to what it can be with PC Elite Plus, the worst of these three games, by fair margin! I do not even start with that... lol.
