Hello there. I recently decided to give this game a try (I'm a total newbie in the Ultima series, BTW) and I fell in love with it the moment I started playing. The music is extraordinary, the gameplay is smooth and satisfying as hell and the story unfolds rather interestingly.
That's why it almost gave me a heart attack yesterday, when I put my hero to sleep on level 3 of the Abyss and the game just stopped. It didn't quit or show any errors, it just froze, giving no response to any commands. DOSBox (I'm using ver. 0.74) itself was still running fine, didn't show anything interesting in the status window and I could still exit with Ctrl+F9. Later it also freezed on me when I tried to use a shrine (also on level 3 of the Abyss). I double checked it and went up to level 2 and didn't have any problems there. I have yet to go to the deeper levels, I hope this bug won't present itself there (I can manage by going to sleep on the higher levels, if necessery), but if it does, I would really appreciate if any of you could help me out. Cheers!
