Under their power, the people of Britannia have twisted the Virtues into mockeries of their true meaning. The Avatar is transported to Stonegate by Hawkwind the Seer (from Ultima IV), who informs him that great columns have appeared throughout the land, and their malignant influence has caused plagues, famine, and other natural disasters. ![]() He arrives in Britannia on a mountain overlooking the Guardian's keep in Terfin. ![]() The game starts just after the end of Ultima VIII, in which the Avatar is transported to a Guardian-controlled Britannia. In the beginning of Ultima IX, the Avatar had somehow returned to Earth for an unspecified amount of time before getting back to Britannia. For example, Britain, the largest city of Britannia, consists of only a few buildings. The game world is rendered in a detailed and seamless manner, but Britannia is much smaller in overall area than previous games. ![]() Most areas of Britannia are blocked off until specific tasks are completed, reducing the amount of initial exploration available to the player. This was the first Ultima game to feature 3D polygon rendering.Ī difference from previous Ultima games is that in Ultima IX the player has less control of what path to take in the game.
