| | Avatar (Ultima) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Avatar is the main (player) character in the Ultima series of games. | | | In all Ultima games (except for Ultima IX), the player is allowed to name the Avatar character how they want. | | | In Ultima IV and V, due to graphical limitations, the player could only choose the gender of the Avatar character, but in most later games (including Ultima VI, Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle and the Ultima Underworld series) several different character portraits with different skin and hair colors are available. |

| | The Ethics of Lord Blackthorn |
| | Ultima IV (U4) was truly a hallmark of computer role-playing games, and was revolutionary for its emphasis on virtue on the part of the player. | | | Ultima V (U5) was more of an evolution from U4 - combat and the actions of non-player characters (NPCs) were improved, but as the basic design of the game hadn’t been overhauled from U4, it gave the developers plenty of room to create another in-depth story for U5. | | | So, quickly, the background story is that the retrieval of the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom (in U4) by the Avatar (the player character, or PC, hero of U4) has, through some means, released three villains called the Shadowlords from the remains of the shards from the gemstone of Mondain. |

| | She told me that she was playing a game called Ultima III and she told me a little bit about the background of the game and what was going on in the game at the time. | | | Those who first started playing Ultima IV struggled at the beginning because the old habits would make it impossible to succeed unless the player truly tried to become the Avatar which is the embodiment of the 8 virtues of the game. | | | Since then I have managed to play parts of Ultima IV and Ultima V and I have completed Ultima VI: the False Prophet which is my favorite of all the current Ultima games that I have played (I am getting a new computer soon to play Ultima IX). |

| | Ultima VII is the epitome of games I would have played and loved when I was younger. | | | In other words: Ultima IV is a smaller game, but it's more of a game. | | | Ultima II, for example, introduced "moongates" as a means of travel, and cemented the game world as involving an odd mixture of medieval and futuristic technology. |

| | Similar to Ultima VII, Lord British has indicated that approximately the first 3-5% of the game will be a linear tutorial in order to acquaint the player with the game and controls, and then the plot will open to become non-linear. | | | Although Lord British's intention was to allow the player to assume the role of more than just the character of the Avatar during the course of Ascension, it was taken out of the game because it served to weaken the emotional link between the player and the Avatar. | | | The game will be keeping track of the good and evil deeds in the from of karma points, and it will affect the way the game treats you. |

| | Virtues of the Avatar |
| | The concept of the Virtues was a very popular one to fans of the Ultima IV-VI trilogy, so it is of no surprise that a number of players strive to role-play their characters as being on the lifelong Quest of the Avatar, or to at least pay homage to the virtues. | | | The Avatar would find no honor in deceiving others, and the player who chooses to role-play as the Avatar should avoid any attempts to scam new players, the bearing false witness against an adversary, nor take advantage of another’s generosity. | | | Throughout the game, the Ankh is the symbol of Avatarhood and represents the quest of the Avatar and peace towards all beings. |

| | As for effects, they are average, though at several points throughout the game, there is digitized speech for the first time in an Ultima game. | | | Cooking with fire, breaking into buildings, hunting, and using the various devices in the game's environment are but a few examples of what you can do and need to do in order to complete the game. | | | The number and depth of puzzles and quests continues to improve with every Ultima game, and there is even a mini-game included called Forge of Virtue, which empowers your character so strongly that it is truly a worthwhile quest to undertake. |

| | Along the way to Britain, the Avatar is knocked unconscious by a teleport area that he must go through. | | | Before the Avatar can go to Skara Brae he gets the lens from LB (and one he got earlier from Vesagralem,the Gargoyle king...another story) and journeys to the Abyss. | | | Once getting there LB is incapable of doing the spell, he is too weak and decides if Britannia must die then he will go with his world. |
