More Ultima X - Odyssey Details Revealed

Thanks to UXO Stratics for their continuing coverage of Ultima X: Odyssey, following the PC MMORPG's official unveiling on Friday. As well as UXO Stratics' video interview with the title's lead designer, other coverage includes an in-depth preview from GameSpy.com, summarizing: "Gone are bold notions about 'online social experiments' or 'virtual economies' - they've got Ultima Online for that. In their place is a concept for an action-oriented experience... more like Diablo than Ultima Online, but with more depth, character development, and immersion than you'd ever find in a Diablo game." There's also an extremely detailed write-up of UX:O on the Stratics boards, courtesy Bruce 'Sirbruce' Sterling Woodcock, creator of the very useful MMOG subscription chart.

There's something about the letter X and odyssey that just sounds soooo sexxxy.

Hmm. The GameSpy preview has a bunch of screenshots attached. The UXO Stratics page has a big screenshots archive. Not sure there's a lack of screenshots to complain about?
