Ultima IX - Tidbits #51: Codex mechanics
In Tidbits #17, I showed how I salvaged the Codex object so that it didn't vanish when getting thrown into Deceit. At that time, I wondered if it was the same Codex object that is later read.
Now we can see that they are different. The Abyss version of Lord British gives the readable item, while the non-inventory object version was still waiting for me at the Moonglow dock where I left it.
The non-inventory object can't be made into readable at the Isle of the Avatar, however both versions are picked up by book using NPCs when placed near them. The standard rules apply that I showed a few videos back, so dragging the book while the NPC "equips" it crashes the game when the book is returned to the ground.
