Even recording the interview was a bit of a challenge; I wound up having to record audio off of my phone on the built-in microphone on my laptop. As such, the audio quality is...not all that great.<br> <br> But the interview itself is fantastic. In addition to talking about <em>Ultima 9</em> and its development history, the iterations of its story, and the internal politics at <strong>Origin Systems</strong> and <strong>Electronic Arts</strong>, we get into a discussion about the cancelled <em>Ultima X</em>, and (of course) about <em>Shroud of the Avatar</em>. <strong>Richard Garriott</strong> even explains, quite pointedly, just how the lore of <em>Shroud of the Avatar</em> connects to that of <em>Ultima</em>, and how we can understand the relationship between <strong>Novia</strong> (the setting of <em>Shroud of the Avatar</em>) and <strong>Britannia</strong>.</p> <br> <h4>Support Spam Spam Spam Humbug</h4> <br> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ultimacodex">Patreon </a>| <a href="http://www.gog.com/games?pp=e1a864f0b77f6c89794827a9035355dc8d052622">Buy Games at GOG</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheUltimaSeries">Like Ultima on Facebook</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/ultimacodex">Follow the Ultima Codex on Twitter</a></p> <br> <h4>Join the Ultima Community</h4> <br> <p><a href="http://UDIC.org">UDIC.org</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/UltimaDragons/">Ultima Dragons on Facebook</a> | <a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/103002993467616562766">Ultima Dragons on Google+</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/ultimadragons">Follow the Ultima Dragons on Twitter</a> | <a href="https://udic.slack.com">Ultima Dragons on Slack</a> | <a href="http://weyrmount.org">The Weyrmount</a> | <a href="https://discord.gg/010CHuLEBKTedbWeH">Ultima Dragons on Discord</a></p> <br> <h4>Send Feedback</h4> <br> <p><a href="http://ultimacodex.com/contact-us/">Send Us an Email</a> | <a href="http://podcast.ultimacodex.com/p/send-us-a-message-1461779498/">Leave a Voice Message</a> | <a href="https://discord.gg/010CHVdLdsN4460B1">Join Us on Discord</a></p> <br> <h4>Where to Find Us Online</h4> <br> <p><strong>WtFD </strong>- <a href="https://twitter.com/wtf_dragon">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ken.and.grace.kully">Facebook </a>| <a href="http://ultimacodex.com">The Ult</a></p>
