[/NoImgStyle]There comes a time in the life of every great individual, when they must step back and evaluate what it was that allowed them to achieve greatness. For Richard Garriott the time has come, and he has announced a firm title for the UltimateRPG project. 15 years since he last produced a fantasy RPG, he is returning the the genre he helped create with Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues. I recently was graced with an opportunity to sit down and discuss this upcoming title with Lord British himself, and the answers to my humble questions were all that I could hope for and more. Please enjoy these videos as we gear up and prepare to travel down roads we once knew, and prepare to forge our way into a bold new world, crafted by a master of the trade.
Shroud of the Avatar is promising to bring us all back to our RPG roots, while blending with modern age staples. The art oozes classic RPG, the dark murky dungeon where our brave adventurers will face various foes.
