Re: What difficultly level do you play one?

My best maps I ever made were for Ultima 5. I put a lot of detail into
those things back in the day. My maps for Bard's Tale 1 are.... less
impressive.

I cheated for these games.  The first time I explored a Bard's Tale
(or a similar game's) level I'd make a handdrawn map on graph paper.
Once I had more or less finished exploring the level, I would use a
program I wrote to print out a map for the level.  I'd then go explore
the parts of the map I missed if the printed map revealed anything.

For the overworld and underground maps in Ultima 5, I just printed out
the whole thing at the start.
