Tags: Avernum 3We've just posted our interview with Spiderweb Software's guru of gurus, Jeff Vogel. Here's a bit of the interrogation:
6.) You've come up with a few fairly original ideas for CRPG settings. Avernum/Exile were essentially high fantasy games within a giant dungeon world. Geneforge was a quasi-fantasy biotech setting. What inspires your settings? Do you feel that unique settings help or hurt CRPGs?
Don't forget Nethergate, set in Roman-occupation Britain.
My settings tend to be inspired by books I read and movies I see. My plots tend to come all out of my own head (though based in a basic fantasy framework), but the settings tend to infect me from outside.
Thanks for the interview, Jeff!
