    So in Ultima Lore, Exodus was a computer that had a Daemon like life-force or personality and that had a some kind of a disk or power supply called the Dark Core, which was the only thing that survived. It's machine body was destroyed by feeding it the 4 cards way back in Ultima III.

    Pretty weird stuff.

    But the Oracle seems kind of similar idea from the concept art:

    I just found the similarities in part machine, part mythic figure kind of interesting.

    Do you think the Oracle will turn out to be evil ?

    She has red eyes. Everything with red eyes is evil. Besides, she has a scolding frown. Must be evil.

    What? Come on.. those are clearly orange! ;)

    I have always been suspicious of big sister here. Though we know now she was created by the Titans within the past few hundred years so I doubt she'll turn evil in the purer sense. They seem to be playing her up as a purely neutral figure.

    Maybe "she" is following the logic, and the logic sometimes is bad for the humans existence... :p

    I'll light a candle near her statue head in my lot and make some offerings. I don't want her to get mad and turn me into a sewer rat or a slime!. :oops:

    Of course, the Oracle is the long lost daughter of Exodus :eek: A portion of Exodus escaped destruction in Ultima III and was shot off into space, traveling through a wormhole to another universe. It crash landed on a planet of living machines which constructed a body for it and sent her back home in a spaceship...

    The Oracle wants to enslave the human population of New Britannia (i.e., turn us into mindless drones) :rolleyes: Too bad those darn Obsidians got in the way and ruined everything...

    Nah, that couldn't be it o_O That was Star Trek:The Motion Picture and Star Trek:The Next Generation :p

    I'm pretty sure the Open PvPers already consider her evil.

    Anyway, the point being, she acts as a neutral arbiter, but in order to do so, takes away people's freedom -- which some would consider evil.

    I guess it will depend on what type of heart she has,

    What heart? She relies on logic, like a Vulcan ;)

    No, because I haven't played it. :)

    But 'Metropolis', definitely...

    She reminds me of SHODAN from System Shock. Hopefully she hasn't lost a few screws in the cataclysm :p

    The Oracle is a bio-computer and her "blessing" is a message transmitted at subspace frequencies only perceived by avatars who become homicidal maniacs at the sound.
    heard it here first
