Ultima X: Odyssey Interview

EGCore has conducted an interview with Origin’s Jonathan “Calandryll” Hanna, asking the lead designer quite a few questions about the upcoming Ultima X: Odyssey. Check it out:

Q: Once you are an avatar, what then?

A: Ascending to the status of Avatar isn’t the end; in many ways it’s a new beginning. First, actually achieving this goal won’t be easy and certainly won’t happen overnight! But for those players that do become Avatars, the game still offers plenty to do. There are some monsters that are so powerful that only an entire party of fully ascended characters can defeat them. For those characters that do slay such fiends, the rewards are great. Fighting these monsters will yield some of the most powerful items in the game. After you have a great set of equipment you’ll want to increase your PvP rating by dueling other powerful characters and build up your guild’s rating by fighting in larger-scale guild battles. A guild that has a few ascended characters will be a force to be reckoned with! You can also continue to go on quests, earning Virtue points to imbue magic items to either use or sell to other players. Ascended characters will be valuable assets to the community and will be highly sought after for their knowledge of the world and the power they wield.
