Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny is an 1988 video game by Origin Systems. Things start getting Darker and Edgier. Since the the Avatar's success in Ultima IV, Britannia has been busy. It's created a new system of government to act next to Lord British, the towns and city-states are starting something of a renaissance in ship-building, farming, road-building, and even lighthouses.And while they're at it, the Government decides to do something about those pesky Dungeons. They seal them up with magic wards so that nothing can enter or leave. While they're at it, let's raise the Codex out of the Abyss so that people don't have to go through that dungeon filled with Gargoyles Daemons in order to get the virtue.This was, perhaps, the start of the problem. Lifting the Codex out of the Abyss left a huge...hole where the Abyss used to be. (Don't overthink it.) This "Underworld" was filled with beasts far worse. This lead to the decision to finally put Lord British's invincibility to good use and have him lead an expedition to check this out. The party he is in is attacked by 3 spectres clad in Black Cloaks called the Shadowlords, and even Lord British vanishes.In the wake of his disappearance, the Regent Blackthorn takes tyrannical control of the government that had been given so much power, and through him, his forces, and the Shadowlords themselves reign supreme in Britannia. ....where did this Darkness come from? And where is Lord British? It's time for the Heroes of Olde to assemble again. It's time for the Warriors of Destiny. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The Britannia you enter in this game is not the Britannia you saw in the previous one. Lord British is nowhere to be found, you and your old companions are branded as outlaws, and the virtues you represent as the Avatar have been turned into oppressive laws. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: There is a hidden box that you can get early in the game, if you happen to know where it is. It's important. You can't open it, even with fireballs or the One-Hit Kill sword. It is needed to win the game; if you don't bring it to the endgame, you lose. Also, if you lie to Lord British and say you don't have it, you're stuck with the Idiot Ball for all eternity. Of course, Smith the Horse will tell you that you had needed it if you meet him in Ultima VI! | |

Nigh-Invulnerability | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_1f7c89f6 | comment |
Nigh-Invulnerability: You can't kill Blackthorn, he's just as Invincible as Lord British was. (More so, even.) The Shadowlords are equally unkillable in theory, although at least you could hurt them to the point that they would run away. (If very lucky or using a glass sword, they'll vanish.) This accomplishes very little, though, because they'll still be around (and back at full health) to challenge you again next turn. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: In Castle British's Dungeons, you can find a prisoner named Drudgeworth. Who claims he "Did not murder her" and placing the blame on Chuckles. Cementing it further, if you search behind Chuckle's bedroom fireplace you can find a corpse. Chuckles claims to know nothing of Drudgeworthnote It is worth noting that the response he gives is not the generic "I do not know about that" response., as well as the prisoner tries to kill you if you free him. So whether he is trying to frame Chuckles, or something more sinister is going on behind the scenes, is never elaborated on, even in sequels containing Chuckles. | |

| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Sword of Chaos is an Unbuilt Trope variant of this, in which it's not so much impractical as it is unusable. On one hand, it deals as much damage as the Glass Sword, and doesn't break upon use. Being an Evil Weapon, however, it can't be used to harm enemies at all, only your own companions. Oh, and wielding it in battle causes you to lose control of the character, who will go berserk on other party members, and then fall unconscious when there is nobody left to fight. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Even though you do defeat the Shadowlords and rescue Lord British, there are some things that make the ending a bit less happy. Lord Blackthorn gets banished and has to live with the memories of what he did while under the influence of the Shadowlordsnote in VII Part 2, you find out (in fluff) that Blackthorn finds peace in a monastery and gets a more sweet ending...until IX ignores this (most likely cause nobody who worked on IX played an Ultima game before) and Blackthorn shows up as a villain again because of...reasons.. Then you return home to Earth and discover that your house has been robbed. And that's not counting the next game which probably made the Avatar go "My God, What Have I Done?" quite a lot. | |

The Unfought: You are not ever required to enter into conventional combat with the Shadowlords or Blackthorn. In fact, it's much easier to just avoid them. As such, there is no "final battle", though there is a ritual for the Shadowlords; it does not involve combat. | |

Boss in Mook Clothing | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_7b7965dd | comment |
Boss in Mook Clothing: The dragons are the most powerful enemy in the game other than the Shadowlords and Lord Blackthorn. They spit deadly fireballs, take a while to kill, and can summon demons. They are too rare to be considered a Demonic Spider, and they leave behind valuable goods appropriate for a boss-like enemy. The two stone gargoyles in Lord Blackthorn's castle (no relation to the gargoyles seen in later games) are durable, evasive, and hard-hitting. They also multiply when hit, meaning that many copies of a single gargoyle can be attacking at the same time. Because they only ever appear in this one spot, they may as well be unspecified bosses that serve to keep Avatar from reaching Lord British's crown (despite them being easy to avoid). | |

When you are captured by Blackthorn, he'll ask you one of the eight mantras and will use that to destroy the corresponding shrine. However, you as the Avatar can restore them, and there is one shrine that can never be destroyed because it lies in the Ethereal Void. This is, of course, done to prevent the game from becoming Unwinnable if you happened to tell a mantra to the wrong person. | |

Hide Your Children | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_9c495599 | comment |
Hide Your Children: Entirely and horribly averted. Children are shown A) enslaved to extort information about their parents B) subjected to brutal punishment along with their parents C) in hiding and starving because their parents are unjustly imprisoned. In one of the rooms of the Dungeon Hythloth, a roomful of hostile children inexplicably attacks the player's party, who must either flee or kill them. (In U5 Lazarus, you hear the children laughing as you arrive and screaming as you kill them.) Worse than that, try infiltrating Blackthorn's castle and talking to his chef about what's cooking: "A little ol' horse meat, a few young children, that sort of thing." | |

Evil Weapon: Behind lots of magically locked doors in Blackthorn's castle you find a weapon called Chaos Sword. Trying to wield it in battle causes you to lose control of the character who will then happily attack all other party members with the immensely powerful sword, and falls unconscious when there is nothing left to fight. | |

Knight Templar | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_bbfaa837 | comment |
Knight Templar: Lord Blackthorn, who turns the virtues into laws, with harsh penalties for breaking them. For example, if somebody is not charitable, they will be thrown into poverty. | |

Shout-Out: A sign outside of Stonegate reads: "Beware rodents of unusual size". And yes, there are giant rats wandering outside the keep. | |

Wishing Well | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_cf62fe44 | comment |
Wishing Well: Throwing a coin into a fountain and wishing for "food" or "horse" will sometimes work. As an Easter Egg, if you wish for a "corvette", "ferrari", "lamborghini", "lotus", or "porsche" you will get an exceptionally fast horse. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: When you are captured by Blackthorn, he'll ask you one of the eight mantras and will use that to destroy the corresponding shrine. However, you as the Avatar can restore them, and there is one shrine that can never be destroyed because it lies in the Ethereal Void. This is, of course, done to prevent the game from becoming Unwinnable if you happened to tell a mantra to the wrong person. If you type a swear word during a conversation with an NPC, you will get this response: "With language like this, how didst thou become an Avatar?" | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_d88e125e | comment |
The dragons are the most powerful enemy in the game other than the Shadowlords and Lord Blackthorn. They spit deadly fireballs, take a while to kill, and can summon demons. They are too rare to be considered a Demonic Spider, and they leave behind valuable goods appropriate for a boss-like enemy. | |

Expy: The Sword of Chaos is essentially Stormbringer on steroids, an idea that'd be revisited in later games with the Black Sword. | |

The Mole | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_e70127 | comment |
The Mole: Saduj is a member of the Oppression and will turn on you the moment you enter into a combat encounter if you recruit him into the party. However, since he was pretty open about being with the Oppression, you really only have yourself to blame if this happens. If you recruit him into the party and can avoid any combat encounters, it can be pretty funny to feed him to Blackthorn, though. | |

Fighter, Mage, Thief | |
| Ultima V (Video Game) / int_edae412c | comment |
Fighter, Mage, Thief: This game simplified the last game's class system into these three categories, and are separated based on their magic ability: Fighters excel in strength and sometimes have decent dexterity, but have no magic ability whatsoever. Mages have full magic ability and a high intelligence, but poor strength. Bards are balanced in strength and intelligence, and have half the magic ability of mages, but (with the exception of Julia) have great dexterity. | |

Purposely Overpowered: The Avatar class has all the benefits of the other classes and none of the downsides, as a reward for having attained perfection in the Eight Virtues in the previous game. | |
