"As the ruler of the kingdom, you'll need to try to convince the hero that he needs to follow your bidding, not his own instincts (or raging hormones). You'll have some tools on your side to help make that happen--one of the most obvious will be cold hard cash."

I wonder what the other tools could be? princesses? titles? spells? threats? It sounds promising.

Is this an interview or an article? I for myself found just the article, no interview

And actually no new informations.

Sorry, my mistake, it's just a preview... I read something else in between... Still there's some new info even if it's pretty vague. I hope will see more of the game from the conference later on.

 

[Nerdfish]

Ha ! armies ! I win.

 

[Hassat Hunter]

They sound an aweful lot like Palace/City Guards to me.

a high-level hero has no interest in fighting puny little rats--after all, there's no sweet loot and experience in it for himp

HA! Improved AI.

 

[Flammifleure]

This actually sounds interesting.

 

[Nerdfish]

the hope is the hero could take command of armies and lead them to glory ... or early grave, whichever comes first.

This preview was hardly worth the read and doesn't deserve its own thread. Most things brought up could just as likely come from the original game.

"You'll also have some god-powers like fireballs, healing spells and lighting bolts that can be activated for a gold fee."

It seems sovereign spells are back, hopefully not copied directly from the original game. Those healing spells should be changed or removed...


And about the armies, I'm not sure what to think about them... I didn't take notice of it at first. Could be fun if it's implemented, but I'm skeptical that it will be a major feature, if a feature at all, of the game. I'm interested in hearing more about it though.

 

[Draxynnic]

I do find interesting the line about high-level heroes not being interested in chasing rats... while that might make things a little more inconvenient if you end up with everyone ignoring the rats (they're still a threat! Well, an annoyance, anyway), that does seem to imply that the higher-level heroes might be more likely to judge the best targets to go after.

 

[Spiderman]

Ha ! armies ! I win.

I thought you'd like that

Well, I'm also not sure how to take the "armies" line, so more waiting to see...

IMO it was spam.
