This is main menu screenshot:

But, as i've mentioned before, it's not loading Serpent Isle but add-on to Black Gate.

I also tried to run SI, but it also skipped to add-on after intro.

Well, what I'm asking, is that you give me a screenshot of the area you start the game in after you begin it.

I think the menu is going to tell you it's Black Isle regardless.
Does it start the game where expansion starts? Or does it start it in some random location.

Ok, here it is:

I don't see what you mean, that's Trinsic, the town you're supposed to start in at the beginning of Black Isle.

But where's the Avatar in that pic!? :blink:
Do you mean he appears in some weird spot on the map you can't get out of?

[Mr.Evil]

OMG, I just realized that the whole time everything was O.K :blink:.

another problem: where can I find Trinsic's mayor to give him report about my investigation? I've browsed entire town and haven't found him :blink:.,

He is in the middle of the city where there are two fountains. I think the house has a blue roof and a secret passage inside it.

Also, be aware that npc´s usually walk a lot, so he may be somewhere else. He may be in the church for example. This game is extremely interesting because it is one of the few where npc´s have routines (far before Morrowind or Oblivion tried to claim the title).

Also, have the manual in hand, because once you give the report, he will ask you some questions that you need to answer for him to allow you to leave the city. Without the answers you cant carry on the game.

I've played it awhile and noticed that it suffers from the same problem make previous Ultimas almost unplayable for me.

No automap... they should've implemented it in Exult. I really have hard time navigating and spend most of time on useless walking...

You can use a map and a sextant to find your position. You just need to have both in your inventory and double click on the map. You start with a map, and you can either buy a sextant or steal one (which is easier).

Personaly, without it, you really cant play this game.

But I heavily recomend you to keep playing: this game is awesome. Of course it has many flaws, but it is the best Ultima game you can play.

Also, the world is quite small. At least in the main land, you can learn how to travel around quite easily.

I'm sure everyone has a different opinion on this, but I actually preferred Ultima VI, mostly because I was used to its more turn-based style rather than the real-time style of VII. This was especially noticeable in combat. I liked being able to control individual party members in combat, which was not an option in VII. They're both great games, though, with a really engaging plot.

Actually I liked 6 more because it was the last real traditional Ultima game, and besides, it had the most fun gameplay, which I wouldn't credit to its style (Real time or turn based) but because combat wasn't as dull is it is in number 7.
