Agreed that Original Sin shows exceptional promise.

I remember this topic coming up in a team meeting or two, and though I had nothing to do with the original concept of the time limit, I was always in favor of it. It made sense to me and instilled a…

Boom. Good call.

Wonderfully deep, often-overlooked and under-appreciated series.

I suppose the author knows nothing about the original King's Bounty by New World Computing, which certainly inspired the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise. Not the other way around, as he…

I really miss the single player Ultima games as well; they are what really inspired me to get into the industry. I fear those days are long gone, not only because of developers' lack of interest in…

I met Richard some time ago when I was supposedly hot-shizzle in the game industry myself. He's always been his own guy, which is how I'd best describe him. He's not ever going to throw down ideas…

Some of the most fun I've ever had with fantasy RPGs has been in low-magic worlds. This goes back ages to several of the gold box games, and exists somewhat more recently with games like the first…

Tim is a top-notch and dedicated programmer/designer. His integrity is second to none. He is one of the best I've ever worked with, and I wish him the best over at Obsidian.

Leonard is on point with everything he does. When I worked with him I never doubted a decision he handed down to me. Since he's so involved with D3, I'm excited to see the finished product.
