                           Ultima VI - The False Prophet
                           Helpful Hints by Mikel Rice

   ADVENTURING
   -----------

   Most of the hints in this section will be in the form of a person's name
   followed by a list of topics to ask this person about.  If a town has other
   noteworthy features it will also be mentioned.  In order to keep the normal
   progression of the game intact the hints are in order as they might happen
   during the game.  Thus some towns and places will have to be visited
   multiple times.  This in my opinion, is more fun than straight out answers.

   Freeing shrines is mentioned just as "Hey! This is a good time to do it"
   item.  You can free shrines when ever you want if have the rune and mantra.
   Meditating at shrines will increase your character's level if you have the
   needed experience.  

   DO NOT kill villagers as it lowers you "virtue" points!  So does stealing
   but in some cases you may have no choice.
