@UltimaCodex I hope the biggest thing they learned from SotA was that they should not try to be everything to everyone, and instead do one thing, and do it well.
@AlisonCybe@ultimadragons It did get published! It was a good series, and would have been an interesting new premise for the games, had UO2 not been cancelled.
@level106@ultimadragons@JohnHen65953721 What I like about Ultima V is that what you see on the box are the big bads and you can see a story playing out. When you start the game you are immediately after that moment on the box (and intro). It’s not just a random “cool” image.
@RJCity1@tcm Why do you look like a hobo who wandered onto the red carpet after a cross-country train ride full of mishaps and adventures to watch a movie debuting in the fancy theater that turns out stars his long-lost son?
@FeoUltima@ultimadragons I wouldn’t be against an Ultima that took inspiration from Baldur’s Gate III. I just think that a lot of the love for Ultima is nostalgia, and something “too new” is never going to live up to our image of what it should be. But introducing the world to new fans would be great.
@FeoUltima@ultimadragons Personally, I think it’s the perfect time to introduce a modern-retro single player game. It seems to be doing okay for Dragon Quest.
@FeoUltima@ultimadragons Tax write-offs is how they justify it.
But it wasn’t just back in the day. Several years ago they messed up with Forever and all the in-app purchases. Like they didn’t understand their audience.
