The Conclusion of the R.A. Salvatore Interview

R.A. Salvatore has created some of the more memorable characters in the entire fantasy genre. He's a legend, yet he has taken the time to chat with TTH so that you - the fans - can gain some insight into his current projects. In the final part of this two-part interview, Salvatore gives us some insight into the challenges in writing for an MMO rather than a novel or a single-player RPG, addresses who is the biggest nerd among the "big three" at 38 Studios, and describes what is on his plate for the next few years. Please enjoy!

All of this leads to an important distinction: we're not out there to "defeat" World of Warcraft or Everquest or anything like that. I can't wait to see Blizzard's next game and hope it knocks my socks off. These other game companies are our friends, our "friendly" competition (and by that, I mean the people who constantly raise the bar and force us to be better), and also our vendors. We're gamers! We want other companies to provide us with good games.
