This is more like a introduction/adventure post!
My first computer game was Ultima Online. My cousin bought it for me, at the time i reacted "I don't play video games...". I finally installed and setup my subscription. Becoming easily lost, afraid and second-guessing. I quickly made friends. From there i was exploring the world in ways i never imagined. It was a very fun time!
I eventually stopped after losing most of my friends in early 2001. I have not touched the game since. At all! I thought about the game form time to time and i really wasn't missing it because when i left it was bad times in UO, the new expansions and rules split us apart and stole everything from us!
I was once again talked into giving it one more try, but this time in a totally different way. I was told to checkout enigmauo.com and from there i could decide. I said to myself "eh.. lets see" I downloaded the launcher program and i seen "patching" and if you played on Origin you hated patching! Houses of gold patch! I went into the other room, grabbed my drink and came back. It was done! This cannot be!? Surely it was.
To keep this from being too long... I created my character Benja! (many people have a hard time saying my real name so i always went by Benja! So what?!) I set off with a rusty handaxe and headed to the woods. I ran into a disturbed Knight! He chased me into the wheat fields! I was hurting, nearly dead. A mysterious man by the name of Corpse came! What happened there ill let you ask around to find out!
As we became introduced, we ran into another nice fellow Esjas (sorry if i spelt wrong!). He eagerly set off to get some candles. As he returned we all set-off into the woods. We came across a large and odd looking home! Inside was a very spooky character by the name of Prodiglist. He lets us in his home before we froze to death in the rain and wind! Although he was very kind, his fellow roommate was not so much so.
Later we left the mysterious woods that seemed to house the insane, i was escorted through the beautiful town of Britain. What a glorious place. I even made enough money in my early journeys to afford a nice home to rent right by the water! As we continued on through Britain we explored the marvel Castle. Shortly after we all parted ways, each swearing to return together again!
Im totally blown away, I really thought i couldn't enjoy this game again like i used to. I was so wrong. Thank you for this truly unique experience to everyone involved shaping First Dawn into what it is.
