We've been talking a lot about BioWare's upcoming action RPG, Jade Empire, quite a bit as of late and for good reason. While still a few months away from completion it is already shaping up to be a truly special game. If you missed our hands-on preview, be sure to check it out here.

After our visit to the BioWare last week, we had a chance to sit down with several members of the development team and the Joint CEOs of the company, Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk. Over the next week we'll be bringing you little snippets of our discussions with the talented folks bringing Jade Empire to life.

In this installment we speak with Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk on aspects like the branching story arcs, the inventory/economy system, and more.
