Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
Which cards should I choose in the card reading?
1 of 4: The outcome of the card reading will determine the basic character type you will portray in Britannia, your starting statistics, and some of your starting inventory items.
2 of 4: Soon after the game begins, each character will have access to the same skills and items, so there is little benefit in choosing one character type over another. The game is winnable however you answer the questions.
3 of 4: So, ideally, you should choose the cards that best match the way you would react in the situations presented to you.
4 of 4: You can, however, stack the deck. If you choose the virtues most closely related to the Character Class you wish to play, that is the class you will be assigned.
