""I could do the quest to kill the giant and go and kill the dragon and kill the necromancer to get the rights to go and have my boat made... or I could give them a buck and just have the boat. And I want a boat, because I want to go and sail around the oceans. I don't want to wait. I want a boat NOW.""
Hoo boy...
"It plays fast, it's clicky, but the combat's fluid and fun rather than tactical and mind-numbing. The character progression is soft with a smooth up ramp... You're going to get in conversation trees which are much more like you would get in Dragon Age."
So its a diablo clone?
Its looking Ultima In Name Only at this point.
Thorn14 said "In Name Only". It was at... post #4. Who wins the pool?
Jonah FalconThey didn't learn after Wing Commander Arena, did they.
Ultima without Richard Garriot is like Doom without John Carmack or Nintendo without Miyamoto

Oh. So the combat and questing won't be fun so we'll just skip it for a buck I guess. Got it.

Didn't Ultima become in name only in IX already?
I thought it was VIII
How can you buy what someone is giving away?
Jonah Falcon...I'm giving them my enthusiasm? or something I never really thought about that expression
Likes many underrated webcomicsWell if it's free to play, I won't be out any actual money when they disappoint me.
I'm sure there will be plenty of people finding a dark lining on a silver cloud.
Jonah FalconDid you know Obsidian was originally consulted by EA to do a new Ultima at one point? Food for thought.
Obsidian would have done it justice I think.
Assuming Richard helped of course.
...Lady...British...?
WUT
Somehow you know that the time is right.Free Bio Ware game?
Sure, why not.
And are people seriously complaining about a game that won't cost them money?

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."Richard Garriott probably wouldn't take kindly to them using his persona despite his lack of involvement.

Umbran Climax◊Is this going to be by bioware or "bioware" AKA some studio they bought then stuck the name on?
I never really got into Ultima so I don't know much about the series except that it's made by a crazy person and apparently it shows.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?Does "free to play" mean "don't have to pay a cent for this game" like Iron Realms games or "still have to buy the game but no monthly fee" like Guild Wars?
Somehow you know that the time is right.Probably the latter.
