I get this damned copy protection question right off the bat every time I try starting a game in Ultima 7 Part 2.

And it's not in any of the documentation or on the internet that I can find.. Is this a question overlooked by the developers originally?

"In Erstam's book, the section entitled other landmarks covers how many areas?"

Not even FAQs have the answer that I can find.

Short answer: four.

I don't have the GOG version to check but you should have Beyond the Serpent Pillars as one of the manuals for this game which names four areas under the Other Landmarks section.

Weird why this doesn't seem to appear in any documentation or FAQs baffles me.. Just an oversight then I guess, and most FAQs just duplicated it. Probably rarely came up for most people, but lucky me, first time playing the game and get it every time! :)

I saw some discussion about this years ago. It seems that having Silver Seed installed adds that copy protection question. At the same time it removes two ("How many letters in the name of the woman who made fine-fitting lambskin gloves?" and "People from how many cities chose to emigrate from Britannia to the Serpent Isle?"). I have a copy of the Ultima Collection released in the late 90s, which also lacks and answer to that in the documentation.
