Eschalon: Book I	My Game Company;Basilisk Games (Basilisk Games)	2007	This is a proprietary game. The creator advertises that gameplay is, "the result of absolutely every action is rolled, calculated or statistically determined ", and it has a "combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden goodies". The difficulty of the game is determined by the development of a character's skills and the adeptness of the player's using them. The story is not linear. Originally only available as a download. Since 2008-01-14, all Eschalon CD packages have the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X versions. Released as Free-to-Play on its 10th year anniversary. Requires a 1.8 GHz CPU, 256 MB RAM, and a 3D card. (Note, the game runs fine on a 1.0GHz CPU. I suspect this is the Windows requirements) [Zerothis]

Arx Libertatis	? (Arkane Studios;Zenimax;Arx Libertatis)	2011	The name is Latin and loosely means "Fatal Castle" and very literally means "The Castle of Fatal" Likewise, Arx Libertatis means "The Castle of Liberty"*Arx Libertatis is a cross-platform port of the GPLed Arx Fatalis first-person role-playing game. This package only includes the game executable - you will also need the data files from the original game. Besides the data files, this is all that is needed to run the game, but installing the main arx-libertatis package to get the arxcrashreporter is recommended.*[spoiler=Show install;close][media=youtube]RHN01tlPpjo[/media][/spoiler]

Icebound	Fastermind Games	2013	[b]Icebound[/b] is a dark fantasy visual novel that takes place in a world locked in the depths of an ice age. It features quality illustrations, a non-linear plot with multiple endings and puzzle game elements in the form of a portable alchemy kit. On the world of Permia, two races - human and feran - have forged a way of life revolving around alchemy, the ability to manipulate the forces of natures. In the north resides the Holy Empire, whose machinery and society both run like clockwork, and in the south, the Council, a powerful alliance of tribes who have mastered the spiritual arts. A wandering alchemist named Dougal winds up in the isolated town of Isenbarr with his Familiar, Isaac, hoping to find a job and earn some spending money. What he doesn't expect to encounter is a web of intigue involving a clockwork beast, a seductive secret agent, a priestess with mysterious powers, a mad genius, and a group of eccentric alchemists competing to vanquish a deadly monster. Nothing is certain... except that chaos will ensue.

Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues	Portalarium	2018	The game includes an offline mode. A classic Ultima style story by Tracy Hickman (no involvement by EA). 5 guaranteed episodes (there probably be more eventually) Online modes are "open", "friends", and interestingly, "solo". It seems one can experience the online world version populated only by AI players and opponents or with only a select group of friends (together or verses, it would seem). It seems to be shaping up to be a [s]direct competitor[/s] superior replacement to Ultima Online, period[s]by offering all the UO features plus many more[/s]. Also, I've been playing beta content and seeing some content that seems vaguely familiar. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that among the vast amount of worlds and content a small subset of it is [game=#38049]Ultima IX[/game] done right. "Vendors sell vendors.. Its obscene" -redfish***[media=youtube]gSZLrF657yo[/media]
