Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II Interview

HomeLan Fed has conducted an interview with Dave Maldonado, lead designer on Black Isle’s upcoming Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II. Here’s a snip:

Q: What new weapons and items will be featured in the sequel?

A: The new weapons types include crossbows and thrown weapons: axes, daggers, maybe holy water too. There are a lot–A LOT a lot–of new item effects, too, which is an important part of the whole item creation system. Anyhow, that means there are tons of new weapons, armor, rings, amulets, and so on. Many hundreds of thousands, if you want to be goofy and count all the various mixes and matches.
