Arcania - Interview @ Gothic 4 Center

Spellbound's EDL (creative writer and community manager) has been interviewed at Polish fan site Gothic 4 Center.  The article is a translated and a little difficult to read but offers some background on EDL and asks questions about bizarre minutiae:

Gothic4.com.pl : Will scabbards of swords come in and the like? Farther to us will the weapon be sticking ?

EDL : If you find a sword, most likely there will be a scabbard around. But the relevance of scabbards to the gameplay will not be a major one. As for the sticking aspect, we plan to have some items getting stuck withon others is but we don't know yet is how far we will go.


Gothic4.com.pl : Will the dress have the influence on our locomotions? e.g. we will not be able to swim in the full plate armour or quickly to run.

EDL : Actually we are playing around with some ideas related to running speed in full armour or if the weather has any effect on your movements. It is too early to come up with a final answer.


Gothic4.com.pl : Whether if the sword long is in water, he/she will rust up ?

EDL : Yes, we have some ideas how swords and armor could be affected by different things. Must not only be water. There might be other ways to turn a great weapon into a useless piece of metal.
