 Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 1:14 am Post subject: Ultima 6 Lord British "Interview" |
  |
|
I thought some of the hivemind might like to have access to this "interview". I have no idea if this is available elsewhere.
I recently obtained an original Ultima VI Signature Edition that included the cassette tape of Richard G. aka Lord British talking about the Ultima games. I converted it to an Mp3 file and put it on Megaupload.
Part 1 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KGJVSETN
Part 2 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AGYNPT5F
He was only 28 at the time and the Ultima series was already celebrating it's 10th year anniversary. I found it interesting and curious what others might think.
:Discuss:

Sorry haven't converted side two yet. I'll have it up shortly and post the link.
EDIT: Here is the second part and I also edited the first post to show both links.
Here he talks about Ultimas 4 thru 6 and at the very end gives hints to help the player in Ultima 6.

| LB is a pretty cool dude but his erratic behavior and reported LARP parties make his sexuality highly suspect. |

| Many faggots live married lives to disguise their insecurities. Obvious cover up is obvious. |

I didn't get a chance to listen to part two, but part one was really interesting.
If I'm hearing right then Lord British and some other guy invented tile based environments.
Also having the game world print out every turn would be pretty awesome for the time

I think it was more of Origin slowly destroying it's self as well as The Guardian, The Destroyer of Worlds.....
VII was the last time he was allowed to exorcise his vision. VIII and IX just did not fit within a corporate structure and allowed to be fully developed as he wished, and that was what we were left with. Had Gariott been allowed to finish what he wanted to with VIII and IX, we can only speculate, but it would be amazing to see what that would have been.
Too bad he could not just start a new IP fresh, and by himself without the influence of a Publisher. Too bad VD can't get him on board with ITS.

Total dickwads who only care about money. I'd like to mod the game to include nuking kindergartens and nursery schools and grammar schools and blowing up school buses with grenades. Little children are a lot of fun to slaughter. I could almost never make it through Fallout without a "child killer" tag. It's just sooo delicious and irresistible to blow them away. I'm one of the few who would actually like to do this in real life as well. But the point of a game is to live out a fantasy that you cannot in real life. Like killing hundreds of people is okay, but a single child? No way! That's sick! Give me a break. |
