Actually, I only ever played V - which I thought was quite good, but not a particularly great game.
A shame, you should have played Ultima IV. For my money, it was the best of all the Ultimas. Attaining (and keeping) the virtues in order to progress was a novel approach. You could lie, steal, murder, and be a generally nasty person with great rewards - but you needed to act virtously to succeed, and it was so easy and tempting to slip. 
Beats those games where you are a generic good guy/bad guy by miles.
