One of the most high-profile remakes during its development, Ultima V: Lazarus is a Dungeon Siege-based remake of Ultima 5 led by Ian “Tiberius” Fraizer. It was completed and released in the early part of 2006.

Tiberius, for his part, went on to serve as the lead designer on Big Huge GamesKingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, a semi-open world fantasy RPG. He was subsequently hired by BioWare Montreal (after the collapse of 38 Studios and the attendant closure of Big Huge Games), and worked as lead designer for Mass Effect: Andromeda game. He is currently at EA Motive, working on an unannounced project.

Lazarus features an enhanced and expanded musical score, additional plot elements, many new and exciting characters and side quests, as well as fully rendered cut scenes.

The project is available for download in its entirety here. In addition, there are available for download several mods, patches, and bug-fixes for it; Lazarus has spawned a modding community of its own.

    You may want to add Comfortability mods (1st adds bedroll at start, 2nd bedroll & Sextant, 3rd fixes food consuption bug and 4th changes journal hotkey to bring up pocket watch instead) by UVL_Ozzy and Rogue regeneration ring causing health loss bug fix by Frilly Wumpus.

    Regeneration ring bug fix : http://www.u5lazarus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5201

    Not sure whether this page is checked anymore, but none of these download links are working. Any idea where i can get the mod and bugfix collection from anymore?

  7. owen says:

    Hello. Is there a mod to allow for a party of eight? Thanks.

    • WtF Dragon says:

      Hi Owen…I haven’t found one as yet, so the answer may well be “no”.

    • Luke Friesen says:

      The More Members Beta mod allows 8 party members and is available on this Dungeon Siege site:
      https://www.siegetheday.org/?q=taxonomy/term/102&page=1

      I added the mod partway through my game and haven’t had any issues.

      Also be sure to check out the camera mod. Greater vision distance can sped my gameplay at the cost of occasional ugliness as the fog no longer hides the partially rendered stuff or whatever. The game still chugs a bit in complex locations like Castle Brit., but no more or less than it did before.

    Hello. Several of the patch and mod links are not working. I found that all of the .ZIP downloads were failing because of a mixed http/https content error. I was able to download the files by copying the link and changing http to https.

    If you’d do that to this page, they should work.

    I was unable to download the Modding Pack. It gave me a 403 forbidden link.

    Thank you for supporting this project after all of these years!

    […] As the reader may know, Ultima V: Lazarus — the Dungeon Siege-based remake of Ultima V — was released some time ago.

Many of these mods are available for download through Lazarus’ entry at Aiera. […]
