BioFiles Update

eUniverseGames has posted up a column entitled the BioFiles today (you may remember it from GA-RPG) where James Ohlen, BioWare’s writing and design department director, talks about the first three chapters of Baldur’s Gate II. Here’s a quote:

Chapter 1 had some really interesting puzzles, fun easy battles to ease players into the strategies of higher level combat and a great sense of ambience. However, the best part of chapter 1 was the character interaction. There were some great scenes between the player and his old friends Jaheira, Minsc and Imoen. Jaheira discovering her dead husband Khalid was one of the sadder moments in BG2. Jon Irenicus torturing the player was creepy, and the fight the player witnesses between Irenicus and the Cowled wizards was awe inspiring.
