Yeah it is pretty complex... especially for 1988 on 1 MHz computers.

Each NPC can answer the 5 basic questions: name, look, greet, job, and bye. Most NPCs will respond to an average of 6 to 8 additional questions.

On top of that, NPCs can ask questions of you too! They can be a 'yes', 'no', or a specific word.

NPCs also remember if they have previously talked to you. Sometimes the NPC will not give up certain information until the next time you talk to them.

Don't make the NPC mad either... they will call the guards :crazy:fou.gif The guards will kick your butt O_Oshocked2.gif

NPCs also eat, sleep, and some have jobs. Don't expect to buy a sword in the middle of the night  %)rolleyes2.gif

Remember... this is not my game... it is a remake. I give all credit to Lord Brittish (Richard Grarriot). This was all his idea. Re-implementing his idea has been quite a bit of work.

 Why yes you can! Only to suffer the wrath of the guards. You will most like kill the single NPC, but the guards... well... they will kick your butt; and they will swarm you like killer bees.

You also have something called virtue in the Ultima. If you intentionally attack and kill a "non-evil" creature (or NPC) then your virtue will drop. In order to finish the game, you virtue must be above a certain level.

Ultima V is progressing very nicely. I have been working alot of internal data stuff such as weapon and armor definitions. And implementing the Save Game data into the program. Oh... and 16 more tiles are complete; only 184 to go.

My next goal is to implement the "Push" object, "Jimmy" (unlock) doors, and "Open" doors commands working. These commands alter (or overlay) the current tile map.

When these are done, I will upload some updated screenshots ;)wink.gif

As for a release date... I think Summer 2006 :ph43r:ninja.gif

 I honestly cannot remember, but I don't think so.

Shops open and close based on the schedule of the merchant (NPC) that runs the shop. It is not the same for every shop or between towns.

Prices are also different between different shops. You may find yourself looking for the best deal! You can also sell items to make some money.

sound like real life. I was wondering about shops closed during daytime and open at night because there is some in Zelda Ocarina of Time :)smile.gif

My next goal is to get the "Board" and "Exit" mode of transportation commands working.

Ultima V has the following modes of transportation:
 - Horses (to move faster on the ground)
 - Skiffs (for rivers and shallow coastal waters)
 - Frigates (for deep oceans)
 - and a mystery item  :xscotch.gif

I can't wait for Ultima5 to come out on the 68k's - meanwhile I'll search the net for a 'rum'  :Dbiggrin.gif
