    TFH Gaming has posted an interview with Throne of Bhaal Producer Alan Miranda. Some of the topics covered include 3e rules, the resloution of NPC storylines, and dragons. Here's a bit about one of the concerns of some gamers:

    TFH Gaming: How do you respond to some players that feel that the extremely high level experience cap of ToB may detract from the roleplaying experience - e.g. the game will devolve into a hack n' slash with absurdly powerful monsters. What will be the balance between roleplay/story development and combat in ToB?

    Alan Miranda: ToB's story is intertwined with combat elements. You are the child of a god, facing the threat of your more aggressive siblings. There is plenty of story involved in this and as a high level character, players will have a unique experience to discover abilities associated with being a champion of the realms. True, there are some powerful adversaries to fight, but I don't think devolves the gameplay. As far as roleplaying is concerned, your actions do have a bearing on how the story concludes, which is probably the biggest roleplaying decision a character can make.
