Art thou proud?


For those downvoting having missed the Ultima reference (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/562660-ultima-iv-quest-of-t...)

  Name: Mentor
  Sex: He
  Description: A wise shepherd.
  Job: I escaped Magincia!
  Health: I am well.
  MAGI: Pride was too great in Magincia!
  PRID: The city was destroyed by daemons for its pride!
    Art thou proud?
      Yes: That is not a virtue!
      No: Pride exists without truth, love, or courage!


And you got one of the most dreaded message in Ultima 4 if you answered, "yes" and had already meditated properly on humility:

thou hast lost an eighth!


Oops, I even wrote that. Not very virtous, I have to admit.
