Ultima X - Odyssey

History:
After Ultima Online, on-line games have become the cash cow for the guys at Electronic Arts. People pay twice for them, when they buy the games and when they use it. So some bright guy got the idea to create an on-line game which was targeted at the classic Ultima players. But the project was ill-omened. Most developers refused to move away from Texas to California, so the project was transfered to another team which tried to complete the game without the participation of Lord British. But after finishing half of the game, the EA management decided to pull the plug. All that has ever been released are a trailer video and several screenshots.

The cathedral of Love.
Ambushed by two Yeti.


Background:
Since the Avatar has self-destructed together with the Guardian, this game is not set in Britannia but in a new world called Alucinor. Alucinor is a magical world comprised of places the Avatar visited as mortal as well as new and exotic locales. Each adventurer that embarks upon the path of virtue strengthens the Avatar... But the Guardian's influence is strong, and he seeks to corrupt the world, twisting it to his own evil will.

Fighting several werewolves.
The shrine of sacrifice.


Recommended Version:
Not much is known about the hardware requirements for Odyssey. Judging by the graphics, they exceeded these of Ascension. Furthermore, internet access would be required for the multiplayer feature. Don't confuse this game with another planned Ultima 10: The New King. This is a planned sequel for the alternative storyline which was started with Ultima 9 Redemption.

Attacking an ettin with bow and arrows.
The inventory system.


Statistics:

Morale:
