There are quite a number of ports of Ultima IV that are significantly different from each other.

This made Garriott consider the impact that the games have on the players, and therefore sought a more edifying theme therefore, the Virtues. Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons was one such organization.
#ULTIMA 4 QUEST OF THE AVATAR PRIEST SPELLS SERIES#
Part of the reason for the change in direction in the series in this installment were letters from concerned parents and other parties, whom Richard Garriott felt misunderstood the games. The Codex asks a series of questions relating to the Virtues, after which it confirms the Stranger as the Avatar, the hero of Britannia and defender of Virtue. Recovering a number of important artifacts, as well as the Key of Three Parts, the party then descends into the depths of the Abyss, where they ultimately recover the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom. Together with seven companions, the Stranger manages to master all of the eight Virtues by talking to the people, meditating at shrines and setting a good example by living the Virtues. The player again plays the Stranger, but this time the ultimate goal is not to defeat an evil villain – instead a path of Virtue has to be followed and a virtuous life led. The people need this paragon of virtue called the Avatar. However, there is one thing still missing: a role-model to be an example of the Eight Virtues. In the now united kingdom, the people search for spiritual enlightenment now that they are enjoying an age of prosperity. With the end of the Triad of Evil and, therefore the Ages of Darkness, a new age has begun for Sosaria, which now is Britannia – the " Age of Enlightenment". Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. Instead, the player must prove to be a "good guy." The whole system of virtues in this game changes the RPG experience. The killing and thievery of the three earlier games is now strongly discouraged. The most significant improvement for the game's creator is the plot, where the player has to follow a path of Virtue to win. The number of items to be found has risen, and the total party size is expanded to eight. Cities, castles and dungeons are much more detailed, as is the wilderness. The puzzles are more complex, and more information has to be gathered to solve the game. The people of Britannia can talk interactively.
