Rosie from SimsNetwork (as her as her other half, ChEeTaH from The Sims Zone) were some of the lucky few who were able to attend GamesCom 2010 and to preview the latest games from EA.  The following preview is from their time with The Sims Medieval.

As it’s the middle ages, Sims can become sick. There is some sort of plague, and in the quests I mentioned sometimes it’s your Sims job to cure people. Other times you get quests where you have to spy on Sims. You’ll get to add new sections to buildings. These sections then unlock actions. When a Sim is sick, in this case it was the monarch, you will have to contact other Sims to fix the problem. You have a choice between the wizard (who will use magic to cure the person), priest (who will try to bless the person which will then hopefully cure the person) or you can try the physician (who might find a medical solution to the problem). It’s like this with many quests. You are presented a problem and you need to find a way to solve it. There are often more choices to choose from. You can guide the story. When completing quests, you earn these special Kingdom Points. You can then use these points to expand the kingdom, to unlock new things, like additions to buildings and quests.
