Out Now About the Game WHAT IS SHROUD OF THE AVATAR? Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues is a multiplayer fantasy RPG and the spiritual successor to Richard Garriott’s wildly successful Ultima and Ultima Online games. Shroud of the Avatar is about testing one’s character on a path filled with peril and tough decisions. Player actions carry meaningful consequences within the deep and persistent world of New Britannia by either upholding or breaking the Principles of Truth, Love, and Courage. Shroud of the Avatar is developed by the Catnip Games team that includes Veteran Developers and Richard 'Lord British' Garriott, the creator of the Ultima series, and Starr Long, the original Director of Ultima Online. KEY FEATURES As a revival of the classical in-depth RPG, Shroud of the Avatar binds together many of the key features that made the Ultima series so popular: A far reaching story written in collaboration with celebrated fantasy author Tracy Hickman, where players are confronted with ethical choices based on Virtues and Principles. Multiple MMO gameplay features combined to offer a unique, shared online experience set within a persistent sandbox world. The ability to create a classless avatar allows for distinct play styles and uniquely specialized builds. Wide-reaching freedom to explore a living, breathing fantasy world enriched by a player-driven crafting and economic system. Players can opt to play solo or with friends , owning their own houses or even entire towns, and sign up and cooperate within various in-game guilds. Pay Once to Play with no subscription fees. AVAILABLE PLAY MODES Single Player Offline: Enjoy the full game experience without the need for an internet connection. Recruit NPC companions to accompany you on your travels and aid you in times of need. Your online Avatar will not share the progress of your offline Avatar; you advance on different tracks through the story due to interacting differently with the world. Single Player Online: Play the game at your own pace while still being able to interact with the persistent works of other players, such as vendors, houses and player-owned towns. Party Mode Online: Explore New Britannia with your friends and tell new stories together. Interact with the persistent works of other players, such as vendors, houses, and player-owned towns. Multiplayer Online: Experience the vibrant world of Shroud of the Avatar and trade, fight, and converse with thousands of other players, all playing on the same server. THE FUTURE Catnip Games is committed to roll out regular monthly content releases and will continue to collaborate with the players to further improve gameplay.

Storyline IGDB
Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues features a dual-scale overview world map, player housing, crafting, an active virtue system, and "selective multiplayer", which allows players to choose whether to play online or offline. The entire game can be played offline. Additional funding allowed for stretch goals to be met, such as pets, seasonal weather, interactive music instruments, new locations, and guild-based combat. Besides offline single player, Shroud of the Avatar shipped with three network play styles: Single Player Online, Friend Party Online, and Open Play Online, however Friend Party Online mode was discontinued. This allows players to choose their desired level of online interaction. Offline play is DRM-free. Players may play from any computer if they elect the online mode of play. Offline single player modes, however, do not have this feature. Additionally, offline characters are not allowed to switch to the online mode of play. Players have the ability to purchase persistent housing, but availability is limited and diminishes as the size of the settlement increases. Homes also have upkeep costs in the form of in-game gold tax which is also payable with the premium currency (Crowns of the Obsidians). However, Kickstarter-purchased homes do not have a maintenance requirement of this type. Additionally, each house has the potential to host player managed vendors that can sell goods for players. In-game player titles based on achievements will be available, as well as special titles for high-level backers. Characters within Shroud of the Avatar do not have specific classes; players will be able to try out various skills and decide which ones they wish to pursue. Characters have a limited ability to change their skills. In combat, a card based system is used whereby skills are randomly presented, and the number of skills that a character learns will decrease the chance that a specific skill will be presented, however this system is optional and a traditional combat bar may be used. Shroud of the Avatar presents several crafting trades divided into two major components: recipes and processes. Crafting skills are split between gathering and refining, and there are five crafting categories: mining, hunting, foraging, forestry, and cooking. Players gather resources, which are then converted into items. Items are then usable and characters are able to fully interact with them, such as sitting in chairs that the character creates, placing down rugs created from spinning cotton and refining cloth or decorating the player home with lamps constructed from metalwork. Communication with NPCs is handled through typed responses interpreted by the game or through clickable keywords and quests are mentioned in conversations. There is a rudimentary quest log; however players are encouraged to explore storylines that interest them. Players also have a journal that catalogues major events, but quest objectives will not be separately noted. Quests are designed to encourage exploration, and the game does not handhold players to quest locations. Puzzles feature a fully interactive environment, such as hinges on a door that might need to be removed. Moral choices made in the game will affect how the character is perceived by others. While rejecting extremes in implementation, Garriott identified story-based opportunities opening up Player versus player (PvP) combat; for example, characters would become a free-for-all target once a specific quest is accepted.
