Hellgate: London E3 Preview

RPG Vault has dished up a preview of Hellgate: London, after receiving a demo of the RPG from Flagship Studios chief creative officer Erich Schaefer during this year’s E3. One paragraph to follow:

Although the demo showcased combat, Schaefer noted that the team is very cognizant of the need to incorporate a strong RPG layer with a solid story, character development and quest systems et al. Players who enjoy collecting items will be pleased to know that there’s a random loot generation scheme designed to provide vast scope for character customization. An interesting aspect is the ability to modify weapons so they do additional damage, which can be of different types. The pistol I saw had one such slot, but I thought I heard other arms can have more. As for your avatar, you’ll be able to choose among “several” classes, although no specific number was stated.
