More interview madness! We've just <a href="http://www.rpgcodex.com/content.php?id=32">posted an interview</a> with <b>Jaakko Peltonen</b>, who is the guy behind <A href="http://falconseye.sourceforge.net/">Falcon's Eye</a> as well as one of the main guys on <A href="http://www.hut.fi/~jtpelto2/ultima4/">Ultima 4: Dawn of Virtue</a>. Here's a sample:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><i>8.) Of all the Ultima games, why did you and the rest of the team pick Ultima IV? Why did you pick Ultima over another series of CRPGs?</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>Jaakko Peltonen:</b> The Ultima series has been a major part of computer RPGs. We've enjoyed the games and know them well, which helps us make a detailed remake.
<br>
<br>
Ultima IV is one of the most important games in the series - it introduces many of the key concepts like Britannia, the Avatar, the companions, the eight Virtues, the Codex and others that remained important throughout the rest of the series. It's definitely a game worth revisiting.</blockquote>

Thanks for the Q&A, <b>Jaakko</b>!

I played Falcon's Eye for a while , but switched back to vanilla NetHack. The view was kind of ackward and the faded out walls were still too dark. I haven't played any of the new Ultima games yet, I'm planning to get it one time this season.
