Richard Garriott, Felicia Day, and Greg Kasavin Talk Ultima
Above the South Hall of E3 2014, where legendary game designer Richard Garriott was showing off his new game Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues, we arranged for a conversation between Garriott and the creative director of Supergiant Games Greg Kasavin. Kasavin credits Ultima as the reason he entered the gaming industry, which ultimately lead him to release the fantastic Bastion and Transistor. A late but welcome addition to the conversation was actress and Geek and Sundry founder Felicia Day, who has been friends with Kasavin since their interactions on early Ultima fan sites. They cover a lot of topics, including the instincts of game designers and the roots of morality in games.
Watch the video discussion below to learn more from two giant Ultima fans and one of the most influential RPG designers of all time.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
