Ultima IV™: Quest of the Avatar is a landmark role-playing game that redefined the genre by focusing on morality rather than simple heroism. Set in the fantasy world of Britannia, the game challenges players not to defeat an ultimate villain, but to become a moral example by living according to eight virtues such as Honesty, Compassion, and Valor. The story unfolds through exploration, conversations, and player behavior, making every action meaningful.
Gameplay blends top-down overworld exploration with first-person dungeon crawling and turn-based combat. Players recruit and manage a party of companions, gather information from townsfolk, solve riddles, and complete quests tied to the virtues. Unlike many RPGs of its time, actions like stealing or lying can negatively affect progress, encouraging thoughtful role-playing.
Despite its simple graphics, Ultima IV offers deep systems and a rich sense of discovery. Its emphasis on ethics and player choice was revolutionary and remains influential today. On Windows PCs, Ultima IV™: Quest of the Avatar stands as a timeless classic, ideal for players who appreciate thoughtful storytelling and old-school RPG design.
