Jonric: Within the context of the gameplay as a whole, to what degree will it be important not just to kill everything you encounter, especially NPCs?

Ryslaw Chojnowski: As we are trying to put equal emphasis on the game's action and story elements, I'd say that interaction with the numerous NPCs you encounter along the way is also very important. In most situations, you can either be a bully or try to use some subtlety and diplomacy. The majority of quests can be accomplished either by your brains or brawns, but the choice is always yours.
