Steve Moret, Lead Programmer

Alignments:

Quote: Can a character's alignment change during the course of the game? And if so, at the player's command or will the game keep track of this somehow?

I'm certainly not the final say on this, but as far as I know I do not think we will be supporting any alignment shifting. Instead we try to tailor the game to the alignments you have chosen.

Huy Nguyen, Interface and Magic System

Composer?:

Quote: Has troika picked a composer for the game score?

I made a personal suggestion for kevin mathei of ja2 and wiz8 fame, but the music and sound (who or what studio does them) is under the direction of infogrames. I don't recall if a composer has been selected yet.

Tim Cain, Lead Designer

Will there be a pickpocket skill?: We support pick pocket. It lets you steal money or any small, unwielded item from the target, but no, you do NOT get to pick which one or even see the victim's inventory. That leads to too much abuse of the skill.

Pick pocket is opposed by the victim's Spot skill. And yes, you get a +2 synergy bonus with Bluff.

You sure can. You can kill anybody. Have fun!
