I don't suppose everyone here has DS but this just in from RPGDot...pigs are flying and snowballs have taken over hell!

 

 

 

Just announced by Lazarus team leader Tiberius is the release and availability of Ultima 5 Lazarus. Here's the offocial announcement.

 

At last, my friends, the time has come. After five and a half long years, Lazarus is complete. The first Ultima remake project to ever actually reach the finish line....weighing in at over 500 megabytes, with nearly 300 unique NPCs, and literally hundreds of hours of play value, Lazarus is HERE!

 

 

The game is available for both PC and Mac, though currently only in English--French and German versions will be forthcoming. So make sure you've got your copy of Dungeon Siege patched up to date, download Lazarus, and enjoy!

 

Then head on over to our FORUMS and let us know what you think!

Can it run onDS or does it need DS:LoA?

Good for them. Now they need to get cracking on Ultima 6.

Sounds neat. I

I was actually considering picking up Dungeon Siege a while back, partly for the game itself but also on the off-chance that Lazarus would see the light of day.

 

I went with Morrowind instead... slightly moreso for the game itself, but also because of a project I knew was (and still is, apparently) in the offing, called Ultima Redemption. I figured Lazarus wouldn't quite make it out of the tomb this time around, or that he'd suffocate before they could unwrap him (boy, wouldn't that have been a kick upside the halo), so I went with Morrowind.

 

Dang.

 

MO: 0 - 1.

 

Great to see one of these Ultima mods out there, though. *thumbs up* Congrats to all involved....

 

... now get workin' on a patch!

It could use one indeed

Hardlocks are a common sight when I play the mod...

Good for them.  Now they need to get cracking on Ultima 6.

Wasn't there already a mod in development for that?

There's a mod in development for almost all the Ultimas, so far Lazarus is the only one to make it past the finishing line hence my surprise. Ultima mods are notorious for being abandoned since most of them are so ambitious.

Wrong. Check out NWVault. Ultima 4 remake for Neverwinter Nights was first.

Err I forgot about that one, is it worth playing?

For the most part, yes. It is a very very large mod though the bad side of it it mirrors the Ultima 4 parser system for conversations with NPCs which is awkward in the NWN system. A major plus of it that it can be played MP without a hitch.

My Dungeon Siege cd was stolen.

 

 

Well, it was pirated originally, but who cares...

I traded in Dungeon Siege to contribute to HL2 funds, along with copies of Halo, Bloodrayne, and Contract J.A.C.K.

 

Oops.

Oops, indeed.

Meh. The game sucked so hardcore my only regret is this actually hit the internet.

You talk about DS or U5:L now?

Meh. (I am, like, largely indifferent to this turn of events).  The game (The software product known here after as "Dungeon Siege") sucked so hardcore (was a substandard offering that I didn't particularly enjoy) [so] my only regret is (I feel some slight remorse) this (Ultima 5: Lazarus) actually hit the internet (was completed and made available to the public via the Internet).

Paraphrased.

^ Like that it totally makes no sense...

So I don't think CoF meant that...

 

He hates DS so he feels sorry U5:L is released. Come on...

No, that was pretty much it.

 

It's not like I'm hating on the mod, it's just that I thought it'd never see the light of day, so there wasn't a second thought when I traded Dungeon Siege in for five bucks and put it toward the $50 for Half Life 2.

I also had Dungeon Siege but gave it to a friend. The game was absolutely terrible. It doesn't deserve to have spawned a sequel.

All I have heard about the sequel says it is an okay game, I haven't played it yet though. The graphics engine is the same pretty much, but they focused on a story and huge environments instead. Supposed to be a regular Baldur's Gate in terms of size/length.

I heard it's a long old-skool dungeon crawl with decent themes and and an okay story. I might get it if I ever see it under 40

When it drops below $10 USD then I might get number 2.
