An Ultima game with the engine and gameplay of Divinity Original

That would make for a cool combination
I agree.

What's going on with Shroud of the Avatar

Good point, it's surprising no one's started a remake mod yet

Exactly, right?

I've always felt that Larian knows how to make really cool pseudo-traditional CRPG gameplay with an SRPG twist, but their story department is an absolute joke and they can't write anything that's not ultra cringe-core """humor""".

Garriott on the other hand knows how to make stories and plots so deep they leave you questioning yourself and your beliefs and how those beliefs effect the people around you, but the man's studio can't write a combat engine to save their lives.

Combine these two and you might very well start a new golden age.

For such a highly regarded series, I'm surprised EA hasn't brought it back from the dead.

Is Pagan good? It's the only one I own, about to play my first Ultima game with it

AND with a story for adults, without the themes and tone limitations older games suffered from as games at that time were made thinking in children, because it was normal for a 12 years old to play a CRPG or and adventure, unlike now when those genres are almost only for adults and we can have stories like Witcher 3's.

Gariott is pretty out of touch nowadays so he's of no use to Larian. On the other hand Larian could fucking hire a couple of competent writers for a change. Or perhaps just utilize the writers they already have better. Dragon Commander wasn't half-bad as far as writing goes, but Original Sin was terrible.

I just want to finish that Ultima clone that only exists online as freeware!

I need closure!

I liked it when I was a kid, I think, but apparently it was a huge letdown after how great 7 was. Not as bad as 9 though.

>ultra cringe-core """humor"""

Is their new game like this too?

>>389665216
It's less focused on the humor than the original but there's still clear signs of DOS1's "wit" in there. It's a lot more tolerable and there's a bit more seriousness to the plot, but I doubt you can avoid a slight drip of it.

Garriot's out of touch, but there's real potential hidden down there. Which is why he can build on something, like Ultima, which he actually understands.

Even if it's just a side-thing or a spinoff to the Ultima series, combine it with the DOS combat engine and they can turn the result into a nice pile of money.

What the fuck happened to Garriot? I came into Ultima at 5, and to this day no plot even really compares. Hell even some of the follow-ups (6 and 7) were really fucking groundbreaking in terms of story and still hold up for the occasional replay to this day.

Now all he does is shit out dead MMOs no one wants.
