Ultima 5 features several items hidden in odd parts of town such as tree stumps. There are also other items hidden in key locations on the world map or in the underworld.
Apart from hidden items, there are also secret doors (marked by a dot), rooms hidden behind fireplaces, and areas hidden behind mountains (reachable only via either the grappling hook or the Blink spell) to discover.

There are at least three talking creatures in the game: Smith the Horse at Iolo's Hut, Balinor the Daemon at Stonegate, and Sin'Vraal the Daemon somewhere in the Dry Lands.
Smith the Horse gives you a hint for Ultima 4 - an easter egg that became a tradition to be included in every Ultima game from then on.
Ultima 5 is the first game in the series to feature, among other things:
wrh2005 made a Civilization 2 scenario based on Ultima 5. In the thread are some attached screenshots.
Magically locked doors can be opened either using a skull key, casting the magic unlock spell, or by blowing them up with a cannon.
