    Ultimately (no pun intended) moral choices in games are unimportant. Moral choices in real life, however...

    Fwiw, the Klan has red robes also. Maybe those are just for special occasions or high level wizards or something.

    Interestingly enough, KKK was also a segment on Goin' Bulilit in the Philippines. I don't even speak Tagalog and I was still pretty entertained by watching little kids say KKK over and over with a cheesy laugh track.

    I always found stuff like this interesting.

    like when people find a buddhist , native American or south American swastika and procede to have a fit totally unaware that the swastika or something very similar has been been used in many cultures for thousands of years.

    In European heraldry it is a charge called the Fylfot... Of course now, because of its association, it can't really be used anymore.

    The coincidence is pointy hats + nativist group. Easily fixed by simply making them not pointy.

    Or, perhaps, it's intentional...

    Remember this, at the height of the D&D is The Devil craze?

    Ultima, ultimately, is all about exploring behavior, virtuous and not so virtuous.

    Remember back in the '80s when people got all fired up about Dungeons and Dragons? Even though if you paid attention, demons were the bad guys, some people legitimately thought there was actual demonic summoning going on.

    How many old farts here had one of these? How many remember how awful the covers looked after even a year of use? I once found an old D&D book at a thrift store and was shocked that the cover was in really good condition.

    So it hasn't disintegrated yet? I think I bought that near pristine one I found. I hope I slipped a baggie around it. I should go look in the attic where I think my RPG stuff is. EDIT: on the bottom of an eight foot stack of collapsible crates full of board games, maybe later

    Wow, really? I am assuming this is after they fixed the jumping mechanics. Those constant jump deaths caused me to rage quit until they fixed it.

    Ooh. It was bad. I died so many times trying to get to that one magic weapon on the little island, until they patched it.
