Greyhawk Interview at RPG Player

RPG Player have posted a very short interview with Tim Cain from Troika Games. Here's a couple of the questions:

There were many side-quests in Arcanum that were brilliant and original like, for example, the one about the Siamese Skulls, and these quests had a lot of mistery and suspance like certain tv-show (X-Files for example). Will there be side quests, or even part of the main quest, of these kind or will we just have the "classical" quests related to fantasy world?

While our main quest is a classical fantasy quest, involving demons, evil high priests, dungeons, and so on, we have added many side quests that are not the typical fantasy quests. The module hints at all sorts of intrigue occurring in the area, and we have supported that feel with numerous quests that reveal secret events taking place in the villages. Plus, we have added some nice Troika- style "quirky" side quests that involve topics I haven't seen in other RPG's.

Apart from Planescape Torment, the only RPG that wisely used dialogues of great quality and quantity was Arcanum. Will TTotE have the same quantity and, more important, the same quality of dialogues or will it just be a hack n' slash type of game due also to the nature of the Paper n' pen original module?

We have spent months adding dialogs and quests to make our game as rich and as detailed as possible. For people who make characters that emphasize diplomacy or trickery, you should find many things to do and many alternate paths through the main story arc and side quests.

Finaly! Some game who just not rely on Hack n' Slashery! Brillant dialogue is one more reason why I will by Greyhawk!
