Chris Taylor Interview

There’s an interview with Chris Taylor over at EBGames, talking about the last twelve months of development on Dungeon Siege. Here’s an excerpt:

Q: We played about 20 percent of the game and found the number of items, spells and monsters quite impressive. What are the full numbers for the game? How many monsters, characters, weapons, etc., are in Dungeon Siege?

A: There are over 250 monsters (this includes player characters and NPC’s you meet throughout the world), over 500 base weapon types (these can all be combined with almost 500 different weapon modifiers making a huge number of final combinations) and more than 700 base armor types (including body armor, boots, helms, gloves and shields). There are almost 150 spells that the player can find and use, and the monsters have their own cache of about 130 spells.
