Dialogue Patch for Ultima IX
The Dialogue Patch for Ultima IX is a fan-made update by Grandor Dragon and Maigo Dragon, of the Ultima Dragons, that aims to improve the game's writing, following the creators' dissatisfaction with the official release.
It is often available bundled with Novum Dragon's economy patch.
Features[edit]
By directly editing the plain text format of Ultima IX's relevant data files, Grandor and Maigo were able to implement changes to conversations and written materials sufficient to alter the larger plot significantly, as well as correct various conflicts with the continuity of earlier installments and create stronger ties to them via references and returning characters. So as to avoid the introduction of glitches, the patch's creators were limited to working within the existing volume of writing.
Once the patch is installed, voices no longer match the onscreen text, thus are typically recommended to be muted.
