Small things like being able to identify in-world objects with your cursor. It gives you a customisable interface which blurs the line between a game conceit and something your character sees.Its cybernetic gear is a radical take on player equipment that greatly expands your capabilities in a way that has only been attempted again in Deus Ex.They are both top-tier games, but System Shock 1 is the better one, mainly for the reasons Darth Roxor has mentioned. On the subject of the number 8, a thought just occurred to me - UUW2 has the Avatar visiting 8 worlds.are those 8 worlds somehow connected to the 8 Virtues, maybe even just thematically? Meanwhile UUW2's tilt towards Ultima 7's storyline and characters is a double-edged sword - though in my opinion what really drags down UUW2 (compared to its prequel) is the lineararity of the game - the main quests must be done in a right order, while you could go about searching for the 8 Talismans of Sir Cabirus in any order you wish. Likewise I can understand the Ultima community feeling several shades of disappointment over an Ultima game only touching upon the world and philosophy of Britannia, instead of diving right into it. UUW1 only leans slightly towards Ultima, otherwise it's a completely seperate thing - a fact that brought in alot of 'new' players to the Ultima world and franchise, like myself.
