Ultima V: Lazarus Released

Posted by Zonk on from the break-out-those-dungeon-siege-cds dept.

Vistaer writes "After over five years in development, Team Lazarus has finally released their full remake of the classic 80's RPG "Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny". This remake is built as a total conversion for Dungeon Siege, and not only does it retain the original story, characters, and setting of Ultima V, but also adds many new systems and improvements to the Dungeon Siege engine including branching dialogues, day/night cycles, portraits for every character in the game and much much more. Weighing in at just over 500MB, this game could prove to be a delight to many CRPG fans."

    You need Dungeon Siege 1 or Legends of Aranna to play this. Just FYI. I like the Thief add on stuff for Unreal Tournament. I don't remember where I got it but this site has a lot of Thief info

    Dungeon Siege 1 already had day/night cycles - this is not a new feature.

      Actually, what they meant was that all the *NPCs* have full day/night cycles. A baker will get up in the morning, go work in his shop, grab lunch and dinner at the tavern, and go home to bed at night, for instance. While the original U5 had this feature, Dungeon Siege (and modern RPGs in general) most certainly did not. :)

    ... wow!

    When I first heard about this project, I wouldn't have given them a chance. This news really suprised me: a MOD team that actually keeps their focus through 5 long years and finishes the project successfully.

    Congrats to the entire team!
