Ethical Hedonism is the marriage of ethics checked by healthy desire for fulfillment and pleasure, and pleasure which in turn is checked by a healthy regard for the health of others and society. Thereby, the severed forces are reunited. To ascend is to rise upward, to succeed, and to achieve a position of domination. The word is usually used when referring to the triumphant climb to the throne or the rising to a better place after a long and arduous struggle. In Ultima Ascension, characters and player are challenged to ascend, to transcend, to live out potential, to quench a destructive force and allow those that are constructive to flourish.
Installation is pretty easy to get through.
First the game checks to see if you have DirectX 7 installed then moves on to a system performance window displaying information on you CPU etc, next we get to the important part where you select the 3D card which you will use, you have the choice of either a 3Dfx Glide version of the more widely used Direct3D. I went with Direct3D as I have now done away with my 3Dfx card. Once everything has been decided on, the game finally starts to install. The Gameplay Ultima 9 is built around completing various quests around the world of Britannia, the main aim of the game is to stop the columns from bringing down the virtues that remain one of the key parts of daily life in Britannia. Quests can vary from bringing a certain object to a person to completing a complex group of puzzles in a certain world. Ultima 9 uses a new 3D interface to walk around the world of Britannia, you view the game from behind the main character called the Avatar, from here you can move him around via a combination of the mouse and keyboard.
