[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 2250557, member: 1015"] Looks like Gamespot also has an [url=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/ageofconanhyborianadventures/preview_6123996.html]interview[/url] with one of the developers of the game up. Here are some interesting tidbits:[list] [*]The game is set after [i]The Hour of the Dragon[/i], REH's only novel-length Conan story. [*]There will be three different races: Aqualonian, Cimmerian, and Stygian. More races will be added in the future. [*]There are four different archaetype classes: warrior, mage (accessable only to Stygians), priest, and rogue. Each class has different specializations and branching subclasses. [*]Aqualonian priests get their powers from Mitra, Stygian priests get their power from Set, and Cimmerian priests get their powers from Crom (I wonder how long it will be until the Howard purists start screaming about how Mitra and Crom don't grant spells to their followers in the stories). ;) [*]The single player portion of the game begins with your character awakening on a slave galley with no recollection of their past. After escaping from the ship, you begin a quest to unravel the mystery of your identity that begins in the Barachan isles and will take you to other locations as well. [*]The multiplayer aspect will allow players to participate in large-scale battles complete with infantry formations, cavalry charges, and even siege engines. [*]In keeping with REH's stories, magic in the game revolves around demon-summoning and touch-based shamanistic powers.[/list] This game is beginning to sound really cool. I hope it lives up to the hype. :cool: [/QUOTE]
