King's Bounty - Interview #2 @ RPG Vault

RPG Vault continues their discussion of King's Bounty with Part 2 of their interview with Katauri:

Jonric: Will items represent a significant aspect of the game? How much gear will the player character be able to equip?

Ivan Magazinnikov: Items can be found, bought, gained as rewards or taken from monsters. There will be about 150 in the game. The player has eight slots for items, and can receive four bonus slots in the case of getting married. You can wear helmets, weapons, armors, shields, belts, boots, artifacts and king's regalia. The amount of items you can wear depends on the class of the character and his wife - only a warrior or general's daughter has two weapon slots. It is clear that you won't be able to wear two helmets at once though... do you think players will enjoy a two-headed wife?

Let me tell you a little about weddings. First, you need to find a prospective bride and to conquer her heart by completing several quests. One girl asks you to extract revenge on some elves for the death of her family, another wants a ring from a dragon's lair, and the third says she will only marry a duke. Another interesting fact is that you can have children or get divorced. So, you can replace the annoying daughter of an orc shaman with a pretty widowed vampire countess. It's up to you!
