Ultima X: Odyssey Interview, Part One

OGaming has begun a new multi-part interview with Origin’s Jon “Calandryll” Hanna, with the first installment discussing some general aspects of the MMORPG. An excerpt:

Q: Will there be cinematics in game?

A: Yes. During quests you will often see cinematics depicting different events. For example, in one of our quests you happen upon the leader of the gnolls. Before he attacks, he summons a group of two-headed dogs to his side. The cinematic pans around the room as the dogs appear behind a shower of magical particles, resulting in a breathtaking effect. Adding cinematics to the quests will make them feel a lot more immersive and allow us to (show) you the story rather than just tell it.
