Richard Garriott Q&A

The folks at Kotaku have published a brief Q&A with Richard "Lord British" Garriott, in which the Ultima creator answers a few questions about his personal life. Sounds like the guy has an interesting house...
Q: What is your favorite room in your house?

A: Wow, that's a tough one! I am very fond of many: Observatory, Dungeon, Secret Staircase, Study (two floors of display area), Dining Room (with lots of glass for viewing thunderstorms), my Office (full of automata and exploration artifacts). If I had to pick one, I would have to pick the Study. Guests come in on the upper floor on a balcony over the lower floor. The upper floor has numerous items to explore such as travel artifacts and personal childhood memorabilia. To get to the lower floor you must open a secret passageway via a clever magnetic puzzle. A secret stair case takes you up to the kitchen or down to the lower study (or the dungeon or the wine cellar). The lower study has numerous antique science and technology items including a bunch of quack medical devices.
