Tags: Jan Beuck; Restricted AreaFollowing hot on the heels of their Restricted Area preview, RPGDot today posted an interview with Master Creating's Creative Director - Jan Beuck. Here's a snippet:
RPGDot: Could you explain how Cyberware, Bioware and skill software work?
Jan Beuck: Cyberware and Bioware simply replace the external equipment. Want to run faster? Don´t buy new boots, buy a new leg. You are stupid? Don´t try to wear a ring - it won´t help much. Buy yourself a better brain! I guess you got the idea...
Softskills are a bit more complicated to explain: If you have a cyberbrain with a dataport, you can put skillchips into it. This softskills override your real skills, so if you have a pistol skill of 3 and put a pistol softskill of 5 into your brain, you have it on 5 until you remove the chip or exchange it by a different one. Good Cyberbrains have up to 4 slots.
Finally! I bid a long awaited goodbye to adventurerers laden with bling-bling and christmas ornaments up the wazoo.
