Author: MeddlingMonk  Date:   04-18-12 01:49 Best damned game box ever. Ditto for the game manual. I'm pretty sure that it was the first and only time I ever started up a game without a freaking clue what it was the objective was supposed to be. You're just dropped in, and there's the dismembered body. Cope with it, Jimmy.

Author: internet person (---.access.telenet.be) Date:   04-19-12 22:40 Conversation Style Guide was very interesting. They took conversations very seriously. Looking at the map sketches made me realize the C in Cove can look like L when written by hand, which then spells Love. Love/Cove the city of Compassion. I wonder if that's why they called it that. Nice find!

Author: Crowley  Date:   04-25-12 17:14 Things that caught my eye about the design documents: The emps are stated to be nocturnal, but there is nothing about that in the game. Nothing mentions it, and the emps themselves have the same schedule throughout the day. The original layout for Empath Abbey looks like it deliberately followed Ultima 6. The abbey being on the east side of the main road and the graveyard on its north side match that. Castle British looks to have had bigger and more elaborate design in the beginning, with things like guard quarters. They never change the guards or have them sleep currently, do they? In fact, I think the guards everywhere in the game keep going 24 hours a day...

Author: agentorangeguy (---.54.23.98.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) Date:   10-06-12 12:37 Did anyone look at the npc lists and descriptions? It is neat, it shows who (if any) the npc's were based on, and it even mentions some npcs that never made it to the game (Zadmir in Britain, a drunk/bum in the pub).
