Q: The Temple of Elemental Evil features what amounts to a non-linear progression through the game. What determines the path players take throughout the game and, in general terms, what are some of the endings they may reach - such as will they end up unwittingly aiding the return of the evil force?

Tim: The player’s path is partially determined by choices made early in the game (like choice of party alignment) and partially by choices made while playing (like whether to keep a certain item or to kill a certain creature). The endgame slideshow shows the results of all of your player’s actions (or lack of action), so many people should be encouraged to a play again and see if they can change the ending.
