Podcast Topic

Normally, Byte-Sized Virtue would straddle the Easter weekend, with episodes beginning during the liturgical season of Lent and ending some time before Pentecost. This year, things are off to a late start, unfortunately.

For this season, WtF Dragon is joined again by Chlorthos Dragon, and they are discussing not any one of the Eight Virtues in particular, but the various questions posed by the Gypsy during the character creation sequences in some of the Ultima games. Building off of a previously-covered concept called Unity of Virtue, they’ll analyze roughly one question per episode, picking it apart and — more often than not — noting that what is presented as a conflict between two of the Virtues is, in fact, not a conflict at all.

This week, the question being covered is:

Thee and thy friend are valiant but penniless warriors. Thou both go out to slay a mighty dragon. Thy friend thinks he slew it, thee did. When asked, dost thou:
– Claim the gold
– Allow thy friend the large reward

Virtue questions are being read from TK421.net’s Ultima page.
