Ultima IX Transcript

This Ultima IX transcript was produced by the Forgotten World team.

This transcript attempts to provide a complete description of the dialogue in the game including who is talking, what variables are checked, what triggers are called, and what the type of conversation is taking place.

Background
Terms to know


 * Enter Conversation - This topic occurs when the player talks to (uses) an NPC. This is usually cinematic unless indicated otherwise.


 * Triggered - This topic indicates that dialog is being triggered, almost always by the Avatar's approach.


 * Proximity Enter - This topic is initiated whenever the Avatar approaches an NPC and doesn't require an outside trigger for activation.


 * Noncinematic - This descriptor means that the dialog is being spoken while the player retains full control.


 * Cinematic - This descriptor means that the dialog is taking place within the conversation mode.


 * Cinematic Event - This descriptor means that the dialog is a fully scripted event with no player control.

What is different about Ultima IX's dialogue


 * Ultima IX's dialogue varies significantly from prior installments. First, the Avatar has full lines of dialogue rather than keywords that are selected from a list or typed.  Second, like Ultima VII, U9's dialogue has a dependence on story variables; however, there are more variables for a wider range of possibilities. As a result, most NPCs will recognize when they have talked to the Avatar previously.  Third, the list of possible dialogue options depends upon the NPC's lines.  In other words, each topic of conversation can open or close other topics and the Avatar's lines are not tied to a dialog topic.  This ability to vary the conversation based on topic choice, however, was not used to any significant degree in Ultima IX.  Fourth, all dialogue is spoken in Ultima IX, which probably limited the size and variance in the dialog lines due to the need for sufficient time to record and localize the voiceovers. Fifth, dialog is significantly more cinematic and scripted.  All conversations that involve the player use a camera that tracks who is talking. In addition, conversations can actually be started by the NPC if the Avatar gets close enough. Also, NPCs can talk outside of this cinematic conversation structure and even talk to one another. Sixth, one NPC controls the dialog for all characters involved in the dialog event: cinematic, player-driven conversations, noncinematic talking, and full scripted events.  Finally, Ultima IX has a journal that records important information learned in the game from various NPCs.  As a result, the text for those entries is found within the dialog for the NPC relying the information.

Wyrmguard


 * Iolo: "When the columns erupted from the soil, I went to investigate. I knew that something was wrong, I mean this is just something that doesn't normally happen!"
 * Iolo: "I went into Despise and kept following the column, trying to find its origin."
 * Iolo: "The deeper I got, the more I began to feel something. It's hard to explain, but it felt like something was pulling at my soul."
 * Iolo: "I felt like my consciousness was becoming someone else's. By the time I got to the bottom, the force had become irresistible."

 * Mariah: "If you need the shield, it's yours, but be careful; it's a powerful shield that absorbs magic."
 * Mariah: "Speaking of magic, you still do a bit of magic, don't you?"
 * Diary: "My old friend Mariah told me that Batista lied to me about her reasons for needing the shield, and warned me that it's a very powerful shield that absorbs magic. She also mentioned that Tydus gave Batista the Writ of Honesty back when they were lovers, so at least I know that Batista really does have the sigil."

RestoreNo


 * Mariah: "Well, this is one that you should learn. It's a ritual that restores your health and mana. Believe me, it can be quite useful."

 * Mariah: "The shrine will then ask you for the incantation. Remember this because if you don't know the incantation, you can't perform the ritual. The incantation is 'vas mani corp'."

Moon2

 * Cause Avatar: "What's causing the problem with the moons?"
 * Bye2 Avatar: "I need to go now, Mariah. Goodbye."

Cause
