GameBanshee Feature: Ultima X: Odyssey Preview

Our new editor Mark Brayfield has put together a preview of EA and Origin's Ultima X: Odyssey, sharing some of the finer details about the upcoming MMORPG. An excerpt to follow:
Of course, reaching the level of the Avatar will mean maxing out both Virtue and path-based levels and the developers want you to take on quests with that goal in mind. Although they encourage social interaction and the formation of guilds, people who just want to hang out in Alucinor and PK may be disappointed to find that attacking a friendly character without his or her consent is not allowed. If you want to fight another player, you'll have to challenge him to a duel, which he'll have to accept for the fight to take place.
