Eschalon: Book 1 - Post-Release Interview @ GameBanshee

GameBanshee has a post-release interview with Thomas Riegsecker from Basilisk about Eschalon:

GB: Would you say that the game's main plot is a little cliché?

Thomas: I think you are referring to the “amnesia hook” that we use to start the game off with. While that bit is not too original, we definitely take the story in a fresh direction after that. What surprises me is that we managed to stay away from the “savior of the world” plot unlike what every single commercial RPG still uses, and people still comment that our amnesia hook is overused. All I can say to the critics is: play the game and then comment on it. Saying a story is weak when you’ve only read the first page isn’t very fair.
