Ultima VII: Part Two - Serpent Isle vs Ultima VIII: Pagan

Eighteen months after the events of The Black Gate, the Avatar is summoned by Lord British to investigate the disappearance of Batlin and Iolo's wife Gwenno. A mysterious map leads to the Serpent Isle, where the ancient Guardian threatens to destroy Britannia once more. On the island, the Avatar must uncover the philosophies of the original serpent-worshipping inhabitants—Order, Chaos, and Balance—and use this knowledge to correct the great imbalance and thwart the Guardian's plans.

Ultima VIII: Pagan picks up where Ultima VII left off, casting the Avatar into the hostile realm of Pagan. The Guardian has seized control of Britannia, forcing the Avatar to battle four titanic rulers to break the interworld barrier. Players must destroy each titan, claim their power, and open a portal back to Britannia, confronting the Guardian's schemes in a blend of action‑driven combat and classic role‑playing exploration.
