Ian Frazier Recounts the Tale of Reckoning's Development

Gamasutra recently interviewed Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning™ Lead Designer Ian Frazier about the upcoming open-world RPG’s long creative journey and Big Huge Games' transformation along the way.

Here is an excerpt from the interview:

“Role-playing games today are expected to provide a deep, engrossing experience for gamers -- an experience that might convey a tale full of conflict and uncertainty, perhaps taking a player through a few unexpected twists, leading eventually to some kind of satisfying resolution, with a dragon or two thrown in for good measure.

While lacking dragons, the real-world development of Big Huge Games' upcoming fantasy-themed role-playing game Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has a rather epic tale of its own. And the game's team, still hard at work, definitely has been earning its experience points all along the way.”
