Mostly the open world.

III was a bit more influential with:

  • tiled graphics
  • party combat (Wizardry also had it)
  • time travel

But each game from the Ultima series was additive, and Ultima also pulled from Akalabeth, so it's hard to pick a specific game to be "most influential." Is it Ultima I because it started the series that largely standardized CRPGs? Or is it Akalabeth because its success led to Ultima?
