Might & Magic IX Goodies

The guys at ToTheGame let us know that they’ve posted both an interview with the developers of Might & Magic IX and twelve brand new screenshots from the game. Here’s a snippet from the preview:

Q: You’ve stated that the NPC’s of the game are going to feel more like the people of a real world because they have things to do rather than walking back and forth in the same area. How about your monsters do they have an agenda too, or are they just waiting for the player party to come crashing through the bushes?

A: Monsters will most definitely have their own agenda this time around. In fact, we’ve spent more of our time giving monsters things to do than we have NPCs. Sometimes you may stumble onto a group of liches making skeletons, or guards beating a prisoner. Due to the limitations of completely 3D engines, we’ve had to include fewer monsters than in previous instalments of Might and Magic, but what we’ve lost in quantity we’ve made up for with IQ points. Every monster this time will be smarter, and if you’re not careful, might outwit you.
