Also,how does driving part look like? Here, it is basically driving car around for ~10 minutes, and not doing anything stupid in process.
1st time I managed to fail by cutting zebra crossing while changing lane. -.-'
Luckily, no similar issues on the 2nd try, so now I'm happily waving around w/ my driving license :D

glad you got it on the second try ;) hope eventually i can try again too.
Seems much harder than here. As my instructor stated at some point, it's not the matter will you do something wrong, even I would if i had enough time, it's more of will you do it in time for them to see it.
I hope you will get it on your next try/ :)

(I am interested to hear opposing opinions if anyone has any!)

Ultima 4-7 are epic fantasy games mixed with philosophy, in a way that has never been tried before or after. The graphics have aged, and the NPC interaction has aged - the philosophy, and the way it permeates these games, hasn't. This is what made them classics, and what makes them outshine many newer games with much higher production values.
Ultima 8 and 9 were the attempt to attract a new audience by going away from the elements that made 4-6 stand out, and they were pretty much failures, though U8 can be seen as enjoyable in its own, not-quite-Ultima-esque, way.
And for 8-9: at least Spoony seems to think EA happened, when they made those games. Especially with 9, the whole game seems to be a mockery of the entire series, and it looks like the devs didn't know anything about the lore so far. Once again, I've never played the series, but watching the review of 9, one sentence summarizes the whole thing perfectly: "You shall have great knowledge of the land". The irony is amazing. Especially when the avatar asks at one point "What's a paladin?"
