Legend: Hand of God - Interview @ RPG Vault

RPG Vault has the first English interview we've seen on Master Creating's 'Legend: Hand of God'. According to the first answer, the budget this time is 10x larger than for Restricted Area and this is what they are aiming at:

Jonric: What are you emphasizing within the overall gameplay experience? Do you have an idea as to how much playing time the average player can anticipate?

Jan Beuck: Legend is an action RPG, but it has a stronger RPG bent than comparable titles. State of the art 3D graphics - with high dynamic range lightning, shader model 3, normal mapping and dynamic soft shadows - a fantastic physics engine (AGEIA PhysX, also used by Unreal Engine 3) and a great storyline written by Susan O'Connor are some of its strong points. We especially wanted to bring the genre forward in terms of the story. As far as storytelling goes, Legend will be much more like a real RPG - non-linear, with multiple choice dialogues and a deep, thought-provoking storyline.

Your average player will probably take about 25 to 30 hours to complete the main quest line. All the side quests are on top of that.
