Cody Has "Soul Power!"

Over the past weekend, NCsoft Studios in Austin, Texas, held an information-filled press junket for the upcoming Lineage II expansion, The Kamael. On hand for the event was Ten Ton Hammer's managing editor, Cody "Micajah" Bye, who observed and collected all the pertinent details about the upcoming free update for the fantasy MMORPG. In his article, Cody goes over all the main features that are being implemented into The Kamael and includes the details discussed by Lineage II's producer, Tim Tan, for each of these sections. Make sure you check back in with us tomorrow as Cody gives a run-down of his actual play-test session with Lineage II: The Kamael!

Aside from just a generally solid combat ability, the Kamael are also able to harvest the souls of NPCs that have died in combat to power their special attacks.  In fact, many of their combat abilities require souls to work, leading me to ask the obvious question of whether the new Kamael will have a "Soul Power" meter. This resulted in a multitude of chuckles from the crowd, and a comment of making a Kamael named "Undercover Brother." After the laughing died down, Tan said that there won't necessarily be a soul meter, but that their will be a ticker located in the chat box and in the general user interface.
