* SoOkayItsAverage: While the game has been criticized for unwelcome gameplay changes and being rushed overall, it's still remembered a lot more positively than the absolute bugfest that was ''Ultima IX''.

The virtues are tossed out the window, there's no KarmaMeter, and you have to commit several reprehensible acts, such as assisting in a murder and taking away the Theurgist's healing powers. There's also a lot of optional evil things you can do with no consequences such as murdering ''children'' in Tenebrae.

* AnticlimaxBoss: Despite his being built up as the deadliest and most powerful of the four Titans, the boss fight against Pyros is the most laughably pathetic of the bunch, as all he does is summon a couple of low-level mooks to battle you, before dying the instant you use the Tongue of Flame on him. The other three Titans likewise die as soon as you use the appropriate sacred artefact on them, but at least they do ''something'' to make the fight against them harder -- Stratos requires you to clear a bunch of finicky jumping puzzles before you reach her, while Lithos and Hydros hit you with unavoidable earthquake and lightning attacks respectively as soon as the fight begins.

* GoodBadBugs: ''Ultima VIII'' carries over the bug from ''Serpent Isle'' that all items with identical graphics also function identically. For example, any northwest-southeast aligned altar can be used to empower Theurgist foci.

* InferredHolocaust: Given what a CrapsackWorld Pagan is, it would be a perfectly valid question how human life can survive without the aid of the Titans, selfish as they might be. The cancelled ExpansionPack would have addressed this by its quest line involving freeing and restoring the old and much more benevolent Zealan gods.
