To a lesser extent, Gwenno, who gets turned from an ActionGirl into a housewife for this game, and for some strange reason now has blonde hair instead of brown. She also has the same model as a prostitute in Buccaneer's Den, which is... a bit questionable.

** The Avatar comes across as one, due to seemingly knowing absolutely nothing, even basic facts, about the world he's explored and been the savior of for the past dozen games. While his dialogue was obviously scripted this way to avoid ContinuityLockout for new gamers who haven't played any of the other games, it makes him come across as a complete moron (earlier games handled this much better with AsYouKnow dialogue instead of giving the Avatar a sudden onset case of complete amnesia).

* ContinuityLockout: {{Averted}}. Nearly every character will be happy to tell you just how the many things in the world of Ultima work if you're just a newb. However, it's too bad that the person they're telling it to in the game is the Avatar, the protagonist for the past eight or so games and should know all this stuff, which puts him in the IdiotHero position.

* PlotHole: The game is riddled with them. A few examples include the Time Lord's warnings in ''VideoGame/UltimaVII'' that the Guardian will be unstoppable upon entering Britannia, the circumstance surrounding the summoning of Pyros (which should be impossible for a variety of reasons, the least of which is that the Avatar ''killed'' Pyros in ''Pagan''), the whole issue with magic and the appearance of several things which shouldn't be possible owing to the fact that they've ceased to be (i.e. Mondain's Skull, Korghin's Fang, [[spoiler:Dupre's Ashes]], Stonegate, etc).

* SequenceBreaking: Using the Avatar's normal jumping abilities, and a little bit of trial and error, it's actually possible to scale whole mountains, and therefore skip two-thirds of the game. Elsewhere the game uses ridiculously narrow spans of water as barriers, which can be crossed by laying down items to float on the water and use as stepping stones.
