1UP: What does the Might and Magic license bring to Dark Messiah that you might not otherwise have if you were using an original IP or going ahead with Arx Fatalis II?

RC: Well, Might and Magic is a well-known symbol of the RPG, and it's a very compelling challenge to do the next version of a M&M game. The cool thing is that we got to really rework the entire universe, so we're part of recreating the gaming world with Ubisoft. Both of us worked on that together. And it's an exciting thing to work on a well-known and rich franchise, but adding our vision of it. It's a very strong challenge in the way that we don't want to disappoint traditional fans of M&M. At the same time, we want to revive it and raise the bar and bring a new identity to this brand, so it's a cool and hard thing to work on.
