For those that remember...
Mondain.... Minax .... Exodus ... The Quest of the Avatar.... Warriors of Destiny .... The False Prophet ... The Black Gate ... The Forge of Virtue ... Serpent Isle ... and The Silver Seed... .
Those that walked the path of the Avatar take a step back into the Britannia, which rose from Sosaria, that you remember. A Britannia that was ancient and awaiting the coming of the coming of one that would heal it. One that would be the epitome of the eight virtues (Honesty, Honor, Valor, Sacrifice, Spirituality, Compassion, Humility, and Justice) and the three principles (Truth, Love, and Courage). One that would defeat the Shadowlords and seek to stop Blackthorn's oppression. The world needs heroes once again and they will rise at the call of Lord British.
For those that read that and think I've gone off my rocker, remember that I am a gamer and somewhat of a writer. What I'm speaking of is the well known Ultima series created by Richard Garriott. Note that I did not include Pagan ( which some call Mario the Avatar) or Ascension (which was released long before it was finished and while it has potential falls short of what I would hope for). I also did not include UO (Ultima Online) because, from what I am told, it quickly became powergamer hell.
A project is underway using the engine of a game called Dungeon Siege to bring the storyline of Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny in line with new technology. And it's going to be beautiful. It's called Ultima V: Lazarus. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project. My husband owns two versions of Dungeon Siege and we have several versions of the Ultima games. A piece of computer gaming history is being given new life.
The score alone is shaping up to be a magnificent piece of work. http://www.planetdungeonsiege.com/ultima5/tapestry.asp is the page for downloads. I suggest giving a listen to Stones from the music downloads. If you remember Ultima and the various music that went along with it, you'll appreciate this new version.
