Why yes, I DID watch a 2+hr video about Ultima Underworld and spent my entire day off loving playing it—despite never hearing of it before (unless I called it stupid in the ’90s for not being like Doom). Why?

I started with the second game in the series, and although it's not the classic the first one is, it was still a lot of fun too.

@sj_zero @matt UW1 is spookier and more lonely. UW2 has a much more compelling and tense story with a home base full of people you care about, and alien cultures you can care about if you want.
Underworld Ascendant is an environmental puzzle action RPG with some familiar elements but loses too much substance with the lost NPCs. Other spiritual successors like System Shock and co. have the same problem. What's so bad about NPCs, man? It doesn't actually take much for them to be interesting. Retro JRPGs even get away with next to zero interaction.
