Consider it a Christmas present.

A team of hardworking volunteers have put together an amazing rework of Origin Systems Ultima V from 1987. The new version is in fact a mod built on the Dungeon Siege engine and features an enhanced storyline, characters and settings all based on the original game. It also includes new side quests, a deeper richer plot and enhanced dialogue, according to the site. Most importantly, the game looks freakin awesome.

The mod is a whopping 500 megabytes with 300 unique NPCs and hundreds of hours of play and it s free.

You can get it for your PC or Mac in English with French and German versions coming soon.

It took the team of 30 five years to put this free masterpiece together, so run out and buy a copy of the original Dungeon Siege or Legends of Aranna and then hop on over to the link to download the mammoth mod.

Congrats Team Lazarus and thanks for the pressie.
