Please take back your words otherwise i will visit Hungary, find You and ask for fair duel.
My duel helper will be my friend Twillight.

the brave yoga

Yes I played both, quite a few times. In fact I played it before the mainstream advent of the interwebs in my country for the first time, around 1994. And because I still refuse to read the hint book, to this day I have no idea where Cabirus' relics are. But fact is, that UW2 is more locked in it's progression, and even though there are "worlds" they are just caverns like in the first game. The fact that they tied UW2 loosely after the end of U7 was just a design choice, since it came out after Black Gate afaik.

It's a lot more fulfilling that you actually have to look for the ankhs to level, that you have to find the mantras to use them, and that you have to talk to everyone and eventually find out what the whole story behind the Stygian Abyss and its fall is.

Also there's a seed of life just behind the first secret door, you can plant that at any little nieche where plants grow. When you die, you get resurrected if you replanted it anywhere.

Losing some experience points with that. Don't know for sure anymore how much, something like 100-300. Not that it matters that much later in the game. But in UW2 at least you can gather experience easily with Summon Demon spell and killing him afterwards, over and over again.
Still I agree with you, Ultima Underworld - Stygian Abyss is in quite some ways better than UW2.

But...but can i believe my eyes? What happened? Is it true?

Till now i run and run and run and open and open the doors only!!! Where is the scenario, where are the "worlds aka caves", where are the murder and spy in the King castle? Nowhere...
and YOU tell me - no, yoga, too bad, you give up before first closed door?!!?
Like we see black stone but You speak - no, yoga, this is white stone..
Let ask more AB members about the Q:
-What is the better game from both - UUSA or UW2?

Maybe we speak about different games, mates? UUSA?

..and first bug is discover..
I enter a cave through the water, use my musical instrument but nothing falls in my hands. Nothing. I expected special goblet.
