Larian CEO Swen Vincke says there were only two other RPG series he was interested in working on if he couldn't get Baldur's Gate: Fallout and Ultima (www.pcgamer.com)

If Larian got rights to Ultima from EA, I wonder how Garriot would feel. ๐Ÿค”

Also: It's too bad Shroud of the Avatar kinda sucks ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ It had such promise...

I would love a new Ultima game. Early UO was great before EA really mucked it up. I'm guessing when they say Fallout I guess follow one or two? The old school Ultima games had that classic isometric gameplay style that would translate perfectly with how Larian and does things. I also feel like the lore and map works better with Ultima. I think with fallout, since it's still a very active game, I don't think Bethesda would want to compete. Let's be real if they did do Fallout it would be absolutely fire especially compared to what Bethesda has come out with.
