Ultima Forever Postmortem at GDC

Gamasutra is reporting that Ultima Forever will be featured at GDC alongside Ultima Online:

In the Ultima Forever Postmortem, BioWare Mythic senior creative director Paul Barnett will discuss how the studio drew inspiration from the classic Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, and reimagined it as an all-new free-to-play online game. This lecture will join the previously announced Ultima Online classic game postmortem, and will showcase how the renowned Ultima franchise has been updated by modern game designers to put a distinctly different spin on the IP.

It could be rather interesting, seeing the two Ultima games contrasted with each other, the better to showcase how Ultima (and RPG gaming, in general) has evolved in the last fifteen years.
