The biggest drawback to the game is that it can become tedious due to all the slow traveling that must take place and the repetitive nature of the battles. This problem is addressed in the next two Ultima games, but in this one you will have to be patient. Although it can drag on at times, overall Ultima IV is a fun and thought-provoking game that should be experienced by everyone at least once.
