Pagan: Ultima VIII

Ultima VIII: Pagan (1994) is the eighth part of the computer role-playing game series Ultima. It was not as well received as Ultima VII leading many, including Richard Garriott, to blame its faults on hasty development used meet the release date and appease Origin Systems owner Electronic Arts.

Following the defeat of Batlin on Serpent Isle, the Guardian drops the Avatar onto a world that he had already destroyed, Pagan. The world of Pagan is in eternal twilight as the result of an ancient battle between the Elemental Titans and the evil "Destroyer", which resulted in the victory of the Titans. However the people of Pagan had to pay a high price for that — the world's sun was eternally dimmed, and they must now worship the Titans as gods. The Titans bestow powers on their most ardent followers, but they are otherwise cruel and unloving rulers, and their followers terrorize the general population.
