Tags: Eschalon: Book IAn Eschalon: Book I interview with Thomas Riegsecker of Basilisk Games is available for your reading pleasure. Here's a question:
1. Summarize the game for us, please, avoiding generalization and unnecessary words like epic.
Eschalon: Book I is a game that's been in development, in one form or another, for a couple years now. It's being designed specifically to feel like a classic, old-school RPG from the golden age of CRPGs. Notice I said Computer RPGs...console gamers who think they are getting another Zelda are going to be very disappointed.
The gameplay focuses heavily on character development and open exploration. The storyline deals with you tying to uncover your lost identity amidst events going on in the world around you. There are questions about honor, trust and revenge that you will be confronted with. While the game is very character focused, I can assure everyone that the fate of the world does not balance on your character's success or failure (i.e. you are NOT the chosen one).
Don't forget to share your impressions.
