Yeah, i agree that these are areas that make Ultima 7 outstanding even compared to many modern RPGs: 1. NPCs are unique 2. NPCs have plenty of interesting dialogues compared even to current games. I wonder why current games lag behind. If that is due to expectation of voiced characters or just an expectation that players are not interested in that. 3. NPCs have defined schedule. Seems like a basic thing (the schedule is static, not a real simulation) but still keeps the illusion of alive world and is absent in many current games, where NPCs are fixed, or just disappear outside business hours.
