<a href=http://www.rpgradar.com>RPGRadar</a> have post the <a href=http://www.rpgradar.com/exclusives/interviews/ra2.html>second part</a> of their interview with <a href=http://www.master-creating.de>master creating</a>'s <b>Jan Beuck</b> all about <a href=http://www.ra2083.com>Restricted Area</a>.

<blockquote>As you may have guessed Victoria´s skills all have to do with her psionic abilities. She is something like a modern soceress, with spells reaching from picking up items with telekinesis to burining enemies with blue fire.
<br>
<br>
Kenji is the only close-combat fighter of the characters, so his skills cover close combat special attacks and other skills that help him during close combat. However, he´s also the only character able to fight with two pistols simultaneous.
<br>
<br>
Finally Jessica is maybe the most versatile character. The flying robot drone, which guards her can be controlled by the player like a second character. As a tech girl she can increase the abilities of her equipment and repair it herself. She is also the only character who can enter the Cyberspace, which is something like a second world with it´s own rules.</blockquote>

I do love the Yakuza.

She is also the only character who can enter the Cyberspace, which is something like a second world with it´s own rules.

That has to be one of the few things I don't like about this sort of setting, the fact that cyberspace is something that is restricted to a technical few. After all, what is the point of creating such a wide information network if noone gets to use it?

 

[DrattedTin]

You're viewing it too narrowly.

People can access it, but only a "technical few" can jump in, manipulate, and twist it.

 

[Walks with the Snails]

I don't know, being the only one who can "enter" it sounds pretty restricted to me. It would make more sense if any old schmo with a keyboard/datajack could use it, just not at the same level of l33tness.

Cyberspace

Yes, in fact everybody with the right tools can enter "normal" Cyberspace - but not "restricted area´s", and that´s what it´s all about
