<p>RPGWatch took the opportunity to <a href="http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/article?articleid=164&amp;ref=0&amp;id=449" target="_blank">quizz Cryptic Studio's Jack Emmert</a> about the Codex' favorite OMG, <strong>Neverwinter</strong>. Here are some excerpts:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Will people be able to play solo without a network - or even play on a LAN?</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Solo play is possible but all play will be online.&nbsp; The game is meant for multiple players and a solo player could compensate for this by hiring henchmen.<br /><br /><strong>What is the game modelled after?&nbsp; Will it be like Star Trek Online or Champions which didn't receive universal critical praise?</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The game will be most like Borderlands in style of play, Oblivion in size freedom, and Dragon Age in story.&nbsp; They've learned their lessons from problems and reactions the former two.</p>
<h4>What monster types will we meet?&nbsp; Will they be scaled?</h4>
<p><strong>Jack Emmert:</strong> We're trying to get the monsters into the game that are most associated with D&amp;D and Neverwinter. I'm not sure what "scaled" means.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Whether they have scales or not obviously, duh!</p>

So you're modeling the game after three games with full singleplayer modes, two of them being singleplayer only, but you're going to force people to play online and probably charge a fee to do so?

Way to go.

"Our multiplayer online game will be single-player friendly and totally different from the 10 000 other MMO games available."

Of course!

He doesn't know what 'sclaed' means? Has he ever picked up a DnD book? Hell, has he ever played NWN? Fucknut.

- only bigger, better and more RPG-ish. Wahahahah

 

[Severian Silk]

Haven't played Borderlands, but Gothic or M&B style gameplay would be better than the click-and-watch real-time gameplay of most MMOs.
