Game News Lord British Kickstarter coming up - "Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues"

[Bony]

Ye all of small faith. LB was in space where he had an encounter with the Ultimate being which had telepathically given him the blueprints for the Ultimate RPG of all time.

The Ultimate RPG will be limitless and big as the space itself.

 

[SophosTheWise]

Basically, the ultimate monolith(s)!

My God, it's full of stars.

My God, it's full of stars.

Stars are probably the in game currency used for microtransactions.

Congrats to whomever guessed it was Sosaria. Although interesting that those that guessed Sosaria, thought the puzzle pieces showed the Montors which they do not.

<takei>oh my</takei>

 

[Jaesun]

Can he even legally use the name Sosaria? Would that not fall under the Ultima IP that EA owns?

It's different enough for him not to have to, but it's a clear gesture to old fans.

 

[Infinitron]

It's not exactly Sosaria, but very similar:

OMG the Montors are back (Ultima Codex has a bigger, puzzle free version of the map).

What's with the de Cayeux surname? Is that the surname of his wife?

Also, if this is actually going to be a single player RPG in the spirit of the Ultimas... something has to happen with some other developer that is absolute fucking decline, just to balance out all the incline.
Well, there's the new Thief, but that can't be enough decline to balance out all the incline, can it?

He changed his name to that for some fucking reason. I blame massive doses of space radiation damage.

Obviously, the Guardian will invade Earth to balance this stuff.

 

[Infinitron]

Yes, that's his wife's surname.

 

[BigWeather]

8 dungeons, that's familiar. Also looks like there are lighthouses! Ever since the awesome lighthouses in Ultima V (with their sweeping beam of light) I've loved them in RPGs.

 

[Jaesun]

Except he can't use "Guardian".

 

[BigWeather]

I'd be quite fine with no Guardian. Ultima IV - VI, from a narrative standpoint, were by far his strongest. Sure, this is looking Ultima III like, but... Wonder if we'll see Bobbits?! (We won't, post-Ultima III he moved towards a human-centric fantasy view, something that I loooove. I hate elves, dwarves, all that crap).

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah him removing all the boring shit traditional fantasy crap in IV was incline.

Hey, they have 10 years of decline to balance out. We are not fucking even yet. Not by a long shot.
