Talk:Prima's Official Guide to Ultima Collection

Article name

I think, at least according to Amazon and the cover, that this book is called "Ultima Collection : Prima's Official Guide to Ultima Collection", NOT Ultima Collection Guide. This last name seems to be a shorthand for the book's actual name. Or is it?--Sega381 04:11, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Prima's Official Guide To... was a generic title they used for all of their Secrets Of The Games hint-books, and I'm pretty sure this one was released to match a specific compilation CD called Ultima Collection, rather than the games in general. My copy's ISBN etc. info page doesn't offer another name, and has no mention of it being called the "Ultima Collection Guide". (I just wish they'd put a "The" in front of "Ultima" as just "Guide To Ultima Collection" makes me wince.) Xyzzymagic 08:53, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, maybe the problem is that the Ultima Collection itself should have been named The Ultima Collection. It is always refered that way.--Sega381 16:14, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

I did that on purpose. I needed I shorter name since there was NO WAY I would use this name-monster.--Tribun 11:24, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

So how about "Prima's Official Guide to Ultima Collection"? In any event, the official name should be stated in the article.--Sega381 11:49, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

I also did it to make the article list more readable. Too long names tend to make it a pain to read. I'll howevr mention the full name in the article itself.--Tribun 11:57, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

What article list? In any event, though I see your point, I think the most important thing for an article's name is to have the correct name, not the shortest name. I think the best approach would be to move the article to have the correct name, and mantain the redirects to shorter names. Therefore, article lists (I'm not sure which one, the books list?) can use the redirect, while the article itself is named the correct way.--Sega381 16:14, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Mispelling in Ultima V Walkthrough

Did you know that they misspelled Elistaria in the Walkthrough of Ultima V? Instead it is Jestaria. You will find it on page 126. With the title: Castle Blackthorn. Has anyone seen this? --Arthgon (talk) 19:06, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

About the Sandalwood Box in Ultima V Walkthrough

According to A Recital at the Palace & The Glass Sword it is possible that Saduj will actually steal the Sandalwood if you let him join the party. Citation: (If Saduj joins your party he'll take off with the Sandalwood Box, and you won't be able to rescue Lord British until it's returned) What do you think about that? --Arthgon (talk) 20:30, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

More faults: Sandalwood Box thing, etc.

Yes, I know that I said such thing as well, but it was caused by faulty memory (the only time that I "forget" to bring along the sandalwood box was on the C64 in the 80's!). Here in the Prima they are saying the SAME thing and there was no double-check if this was true or not. The same thing happened as it is claimed in the Walkthrough for U1 that it was Chuckles who was murdered in U1 by the Stranger for the key, but it is pretty sure that it was Gwino. Oops. There are probably a lot of more of such things. --Arthgon (talk) 11:02, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
