ok, rather than DOSbox I’ve been running #ultimaVIII through ScummVM, which additionally adds the ability to completely remap every key & furthermore, allows the enabling of a “jump to mouse position” feature (so, similar to U8PATCH.EXE).
There’s perhaps something to be said for the Avatar’s lurching movements of yesteryear (maybe jumping in full armor shouldn’t be easy; maybe the odds of clearing any such bottomless chasm should be about one in thirty) but alternatively: no.

& those expectations were probably not unwarranted?

but nevertheless, if you were, let's say, a v edgy & somewhat isolated child who had almost narily ever played a video game on personal computer & then you were met with the intro video for ultima VIII? Well, it was all over for you & you were almost certainly locked into having An Unpopular Opinion About A Video Game for the rest of your life.

A screencap from the intro video to Ultima VIII that shows a glowing red pentagram in a night sky, with a giant, red, demon-adjacent-looking arm extending out from its center.
In the palm of the giant's clawed & upturned hand is a much smaller figure, wearing a great helm & armor, balanced precariously with outstretched arms.

@vga256 crazier still: managed to run #UltimaVIII on a 386...

Somehow got the jumping patch from a BBS too, to make it playable.

@vga256 I like how it's still looking like the #UltimaVIII / #Ultima8 avatar but with new colours.

The Tenebrae theme music started playing in my head just looking at this.
