<a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/">Computer & Video Games</a> has posted a brief <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/news/news_story.php{que}id=83466">interview</a> with <a href="http://www.bioware.com">BioWare</a> boy, <b>Ray Muzyka</b> about <a href="http://www.lucasarts.com/products/swkotor/">Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic</a>. There's also a fairly long preamble there as well, so you can catch up on what you've missed so far.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>In terms of actual Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic gameplay, with the combat and the Force powers, did you ever consider making it more arcade-like, or were you always planning to base it on the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars rule-set?</b>
<br>
<br>
<b>Muzyka:</b> Yeah, we always wanted it based on a rule-set. The option was there to use the Wizards of the Coast rule-set or make our own. We explored doing our own stuff, but then we picked up the Wizards RPG and thought, "This is pretty fun."
<br>
<br>
And of course, we've worked on Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate at BioWare, and the Wizards Star Wars RPG rule-set is pretty similar, so we were familiar with that.</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
Yeah, because arcade-like combat belongs in CRPGs. Oh wait, no, it doesn't.
