The character of Minax has always fascinated me. The apprentice of the evil warlock Mondain. She grew even more powerful than her master and decided to take her revenge on Earth and its denizens.
The story is now significantly deeper than Ultima 1. We have a narrative! This is no longer a one-off game, but a full world. The buildup to Ultima III grows and grows! Moral questions appear and some of them are quite relevant in 2026. I won't spoil the story in the manual. Please find it and read it for yourself!
I have a surprise when we reach Ultima III/Ultima Exodus! I want to tie in what I love with these gaming adventures. Anything that increases both immersion and patience is a good thing!
The manual was a joy to read. And back then, it was rare that an RPG hero got multiple modes of transport that they could use at will. The concern is always that you will leave your horse/ship someplace in the overworld and not be able to find it later!
Tomorrow, I boot up GOG and give this game a spin!
Buy Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress HERE!
