I don't always have the time to post as articulatley as I'd like.

But now that you contest what I wrote and I have a moment, I'll better explain.

By 'U7 Vibe' I guess I really mean 'some elements in common with U7.'

Arx Fatalis, while more similar to UU than U7 still shared the 'object manipulation' feature of U7 - even moreso. You could bake a pie and perform other object combinations. So that is where I get the 'U7 vibe' for that game.

Gothics 1 & 2 are a little more subtle. But G1 & G2 gave me that same satisfaction of exploration that U7 did. So that is why I think G1 & G2 have a 'U7 Vibe.'
