RPG Italia: What are the RPG’s elements? How players can develop a PG ( Oblivion style, Xp-leveling…)? How much you stressed choices and morality?
A. Team: Skill training system remained unchanged as compared to the original game. Nevertheless we introduced a lot of new elements that will give you additional freedom for roleplaying, i.e. extended dialogue system.
Gameplay outside the dialogues is also built on somewhat different principles. For example, in Andoran you’ll have an opportunity to clobber or bind any NPC (as a variant: to bind sleeping NPC, provided you have enough agility and sneaking skill), then put him into a sack and carry somewhere. This trick can be actively used when passing quests, though you can invent some more creative approach in other cases. Moreover, now citizens adequately react when they see a bound NPC lying on the ground: the passerby can free him if they are on good terms. Imagine a situation: you have imperceptibly kidnapped some citizen while he was asleep, bound and blindfolded him. The relatives may grow bothering about his absence. And here comes our hero, you know riding a white horse and so on, and suggests to retrieve “the missing one” for reward. If your speechcraft is properly high, you’ll be able to persuade the captive (provided you didn’t use violence to him) that it was someone else who kidnapped him while you are a noble savior. The profit is yours.
Moral dilemmas will surely take place, as there will plenty of ways to solve the certain problem. You need to get some item? You can kill the owner, you can steal the desired thing, you can dress like a guard and penetrate the house. A representative of the fair sex, as long as she has proper skill, will appease the owner with women’s charm and still the wanted item while he’s asleep after the stormy night. What other options? Be ingenious and find them for sure.
