Introduction
Ultima-Unreal is a Single-Player only modfication for Unreal Tournament. The latest version of UT will be required. Ultima-Unreal links the gameplay of Baldurs Gate with the looks of UT. At the beginning of the game, the player may choose between two playercharacters. Having made his choice, the player will find himself in a beautifully designed world, which consists of several maps. This is where he gets to know a lot of persons, so-called NPCs, who will ask the player for help (quests) or who will help him. Humans, animals, Orks and lots of other creatures are the natural habitants of Ultima-Unreal's world . Later the player will be faced with the deamons that have come out of the hell's gate. As usual in fantasy games, the player will be able to do some magic. Collecting gold will be importat for him/her in order to survive. Gold will be necessary to buy more powerful weapons and items, as well as better armor. Without those things one will be no match for the coming crowds of deamons.
Story
The story is not related to the ultima world or storyline from the Origin series.
The player is one of two characters selectable, both children of a royal family, looking for their father and a way to reseal the gates of hell, which have been opened by sinister creatures.
The only thing in common with Origin's Ultima series is (next to the name) the fantasy setting with medieval creatures, where the world is inhabited by humans. Of course you'll find animals like wolves or bears, but there'll also be demons and other creatures.
Gameplay
There will be some party possibilities; you can for example hire a mercenary in the village, a computer controlled servant, staying by you unto its death!
Attributes, which can be developed, are:
Strength
Dexterity
Magic
Vitality
Amor
The final RPG-System has yet to be decided, but it will be something like getting points for killing opponents, which will be added to an account and upon reaching a limit you'll reach a new level and can distribute points on attributes again.
Magic
There will be two ways of magic:
Casting by using a wand, where the wand has a special amount of uses (e.g. fireballs). This magic does not require any mana and the wands can be reloaded by magic merchants for gold.
The other way of magic is the use of magic scrolls. You choose them like a weapon and can cast the spell as long as your mana lasts. You can recharge your mana with mana potions, one kind refills half the mana, the other full mana.
