GB Feature: Dungeon Siege Chat Log

The chat tonight at the Microsoft Gaming Zone with the Designer of Dungeon Siege, Chris Taylor, was incredibly insightful. I did a little editing afterward and present the Complete Edited Chat Log of the event, question delineated for your eye-relaxing enjoyment. Here’s a couple plus one:

gtengland: Can spell scrolls be re-used on different characters? Like, if I find a Firebolt spell, can I teach it to two characters, or do I have to find another scroll? And are there throwable weapons?

GPG_ChrisTaylor: Spell scrolls are dropped into the spell casters spell book. When that character is tired/finished with that spell, they can pass it along to another character in the party.

gtengland: THx Are there throwable weapons like knives?

GPG_ChrisTaylor: Currently we don’t have any throwing weapons, but you never know, we might squeeze it in, our engine can handle it if we make a few tweaks.

x_XaErO_SKaTe_x: TA TA TA TA TA!!!!!!!!dude TA 0wns and i have had them game for nearly 2 yrs and i’m still a newbie…..why cant u make a TA2 look @ the profit side…..also where can i find your picture?…..i wanna see the guy that didnt make TA2 so i can throw darts
x_XaErO_SKaTe_x: @ his head…..also could u sign my nipple ( . ) <(-----right there thanks man =)
x_XaErO_SKaTe_x: not making a TA2 will result in a servere beating to the eye
x_XaErO_SKaTe_x: =D

GPG_ChrisTaylor: Ha! You’re hilarious. We all wanted to make an RPG first and then use this super-powerful engine to make another RTS. It’s taking a long time, but I think it will be worth it because we are learning a lot from making an RPG with such extreme technology

I had to throw in that last question, it really was funny.
