GameSpy have posted a short interview with game designer Tim Cain from Troika Games. The questions are however not related to Greyhawk: The Temple of Elemental Evil, but to the Game Developers Conference held in San Jose, California last week. Here's a couple of the questions:

If you could make your fantasy game, regardless of license or technology constraints, what would it be and why?

I'd like to make an RPG that has great physics and language processing already built in so that I can concentrate on making the game fun. I spend a lot of time doing those mundane things that are important, but don't allow me to work on the fun stuff.

Of all the games that have come out in the last year, which one amazed you the most? Which one disappointed you?

Dungeon Siege pulled off the continuous world better than we did in Arcanum and I was jealous. So I really enjoyed Dungeon Siege. As far as disappointments, there weren't that many PC games that really grabbed for my attention enough that I built up any expectation for, so I can't say I was disappointed by anything.
