GB Feature: Jade Empire PC E3 Preview

The first installment to our E3 2006: The RPGs editorial is now online, which features a preview of BioWare’s upcoming PC port of Jade Empire. A snippet:

We won’t be seeing any new areas added to the game for the ported version. Instead, BioWare has decided to add new styles and weapons, and allow all players to choose Monk Zeng as their starting character (the character previously only available on the Limited Edition Xbox version). Two styles we were told will be included were Iron Palm and Viper, the latter of which strikes an opponent at five critical points on their body and unleashes poison with each successful hit.
