I didn't know the combat system for Ultima V was paper-prototyped first. That's an interesting tit-bit! I've never actually seen it done on games I've worked on

I didn't know the combat system for Ultima V was paper-prototyped first. That's an interesting tit-bit! I've never actually seen it done on games I've worked on but since reading about it in The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, it's been something I've been looking for an opportunity to try out.
