IronHammers.org had the chance to ask producer Rachel Bernstein a number of questions on EA’s latest game, The Sims Medieval. The information is pretty much a recap of what we’ve already know, but I think they were given 3 new images. Well, I’m not too entirely sure…there’s been so many lately that I may of already posted them and forgot.
IH: Can you finish the game? Do these elements mean that The Sims Medieval will have an ending akin to that of other story-based games?
RB: The quests are episodic stories, there is no story of the overall game that has a beginning, middle and end.
Here’s how the flow works. You start a new game with a new Ambition and a certain number of quest points. Every time you start a quest, you spend down some of your quest points. When you have no quest points left, you get a medal based on how well you did against that Ambition. You will have only played some a small fraction of the quests at that point.
At that point, you have a few choices. You could take on a special quest that will allow you to bring one character forward into your next new game. Or you could play in the Free Time quest, which allows you to jump from Hero to Hero, and you have no quest objectives or responsibilities. And you can start a new game, with a new Ambition and new quest point budget, and build up the kingdom in a different way with different characters and play different quests.
Hey guys, Bobby here, the guy that did the interview.
Thanks for linking back to us! 🙂
I can confirm, they were three new images that we were given to accompany the interview — guess I should have mentioned that in the article somewhere.
Take it easy! 🙂
