woodface: Here's another question: do rooms in dungeons ever respawn, or do they stay cleared after you kill all the monsters in them? If I leave a dungeon and go back in, the rooms are still empty.
DeathStrike: That's a new feature in Ultima V. When you clear a room it stays cleared forever. If you only partially clear a room it will be repopulated again when you re-enter it. You need to fully clear it out to keep it cleared. Some rooms have secret enemies hidden behind walls to stop you from being able to clear the room out entirely. If you use a morningstar or halberd you can attack them over the walls to clear these rooms out too.
