Gas Powered Interview

GameSpy has conducted an interview with the guys over at Gas Powered Games about combat tactics in the upcoming Dungeon Siege. Here’s a taste:

GameSpy: What kinds of areas of expertise can a party member develop and how flexible are their roles? Could there be a character that develops all skills simultaneously?

Gas Powered Games: There are four skills in which you can develop varying levels of expertise; melee, ranged, nature magic, and combat magic. The player is free to develop the skills for each party member in any manner that they want. They can even change the way a particular character is developing at any point in the game. It is even possible to develop the characters to be equally skilled at all things, but naturally this means they are not particularly good at any one thing… it’s all part of the trade-offs of character development.
