I never said that 3D is necessarily a bad thing, only that the implementation of 3D has been detrimental to the Heroes series so far. If done in some other way, it might have turned out better. Who…

Combat is the main activity in most games because combat is tried, tested, simple and easy to implement. Developers and players alike are used to it and know what to expect. It's safe. Of course you…

The real advantage is artistic freedom and control. The artists choose one angle for each scene and can paint by hand upon the 3D render and tinker with the look to get the desired result from that…

Absolutely. Sex is a central theme in life. But I'm afraid that many people equals the theme with pornography. And I doubt most developers could handle it in a mature and tasteful way. Still, if…

I maintain that the problem with Dragon Age II was not story, themes, romances or that your choices made small difference in the scheme of things. It was a bland, generic and repetitive game world….

I think that any attempt to incorporate other types of interaction than combat into an RPG is commendable. Combat makes up the meat of most games partly because it's much easier to implement than…

I'm old and my memory is not what it used to be. Nevertheless, I seem to recall at least some particularly silly insurmountable fences in the first Withcer game. But the way my mind works these days,…

You could also call this "padding" realism. In most games, including previous Witcher games, if you are travelling on a path through the woods, you can't stray from the path. Would it not be nice if…
