Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues

About

Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues is a role-playing game designed by the minds behind Ultima and Ultima Online. It presents a world where player decisions influence outcomes and moral dilemmas shape the narrative. The game supports solo play, co-operative sessions with friends, or open multiplayer interactions. Characters develop through a classless system, letting players pick from numerous combat and non-combat abilities. The story adapts to player actions with branching consequences while offering mechanics for crafting gear and building custom homes. The game's flexibility stands out, offering a system that lets players choose between isolated adventures or shared experiences. While some praise the depth of its skill trees and player-driven storytelling, others note its uneven pacing and ambitious scope. Created by veterans of the RPG genre, it attempts to merge single-player depth with multiplayer freedom. Community feedback highlights its potential but also points to polish needed in later expansions.
