Ultima 7 places the gamer in a huge open world, where the main focus is on exploration, narrative elements and interactive mechanics. The story revolves around the mysterious cult of the Brotherhood and an enigmatic figure called the Guardian. The gamer acts as an Avatar, who is tasked with uncovering a chain of dark events threatening the land of Britain. The game encourages interaction with the environment through deep dialogue, varied quests, and many puzzles to solve. The heavily choice-driven storyline takes place in various towns and communities populated by NPCs who provide helpful hints and explanations to help you understand the main plot.A hallmark of Ultima 7 is its ability to create a sense of a living world. NPCs operate on a set daily routine, and the environment reacts to the changing time of day, creating a sense of reality. Objects in the game are highly interactive; you can manipulate them, combine substances, and use resources to solve puzzles and advance the story. Britain, in turn, is represented by many regions with unique features, lore, and culture, which emphasizes the importance of interaction and decision-making. Although the project provides for battles, they play a secondary role, mainly serving as a tool for developing the plot, and not the main element of the gameplay. Making difficult moral and ethical decisions that affect the development of the story is available. Battles allow you to form a squad, customize the characters' abilities and develop strategies with various weapons and spells.
