Ultima VII Part I - Design Docs @ Ultima Aiera

Ultima Aiera has another bunch of design documents courtesy of former Origin programmer Bil Randolph, this time for Ultima VII:

Specifically, the documents — all of which appear to be internal documents from Origin Systems — discuss the conversation syntax of the game and its technical implementation, the object design of the game, the in-house map editor that Origin developers used to construct the Ultima 7 game world, and much more! The most interesting detail about all of these documents, however, is that they are in fact focused on a very early version of the game, which is different in several ways from what was finally shipped.
