Plot
Ultima V plot is darker than in Ultima IV. Britannia's king Lord British is missing, replaced by a tyrant named Lord Blackthorn. The player must navigate a totalitarian world bent on enforcing its virtues through draconian means.
Gameplay
Ultima V sports numerous advances from Ultima IV. The game world is larger, with more towns, further detailed dungeons, and an expansive Underworld to explore. Dialog with NPCs hosts more choices to make during conversation. World interactivity is further increased with new options to search, manipulate, and explore the player's surroundings.
The game requires to know the shortcuts, such as t to talk or o to open.[3]
Ultima V was followed by Ultima VI: The False Prophet in 1990.
