GamersGlobal.com, a website whose content is provided by its users, published an interview of Tyler Thompson, Technical Director of Flagship Studios. This interview focuses on several subjects, from the AI to the storyline. We also learn about Tyler’s ingame item !

GG: So it’s a tactical or a behavioral AI, not a strategic one.

Yes. The behavior of the AI is more about making you want to use the different skills and different tactics available. So a lot of time went into balancing that behavior. How they move around, how they throw missiles at you, and things like that. So do you dodge, do you charge, do you hold back? All these things change depending on what character you play and whom you fight.

GG: I am sure you’ve planted a little reference to yourself in the game. What is it?

Tyler Thompson: [laughs] You’ll find a gun. It’s called Tyler’s Pistol. It’s a very large cannon. Very effective against big monsters. Have fun with it!

So. Many. News.
