Judith Hoffman Interview

RPGDot has conducted a lengthy interview with Turbine’s Judith Hoffman, executive producer of Asheron’s Call 2. An excerpt to follow:

Q: Are there NPCs to interact with? If so, how varied are they?

A: AC2 is revolutionary in that there are no true NPCs in the game. Since the game world has recently been devastated and has only recently recovered enough to support adventurers again, there is no place for NPCs to come from! Players will explore, fight, build, and quest by working together and gathering clues from rediscovered relics, talkative monsters, and many other sources that you’ll have to see to believe.
