<b>Bryce Baker</b> of <a href="http://www.reflexive.net">Reflexive</a> has taken the time to do an <A href="http://www.3davenue.com/lionheartqna.shtml">interview</a> with the guys over at <A href="http://www.3davenue.com/">3DAvenue</a> about <A href="http://lionheart.blackisle.com">Lionheart</a>. Topics include multiplayer, AI, item generation, and various other neat things about the game, like this:

<blockquote><b>3DA: What sort of enemies will the player go up against?</b>
<br>
<br>
There's a pretty wide range.  We have some of the classics from the genre - wolves, goblins, some very good-looking larger winged beasties.  No rats, though.  The artists also came up with some very nice desert monsters that should look familiar to fans of Fallout.  Umm, what else?  Titans, a whole slew of undead, various thugs and villains, spirits, twisted animals... it's a long list.</blockquote>

Oooooo.. <a href="http://www.interplay.com/fallout">Fallout</a>-like monsters. Bring on the <i>molerats</i>!

After an evening of rat-slaying in FO2, I think Ive worked out where they got the sound for the molerat (? - lesser molerats ? - I'm talking about the smaller pink rats) dying - its an aluminium baseball bat hitting a stack of eggs. I gets pretty sickening after a while.

I have a question about enemies and LH, that still makes me skeptical. Frankly every screenshot I have seen with combat seems to have the protaganist hugely outnumbered by hostile creatures. And frankly make me a little nervous, since I don't want Harbinger like experience. Not saying LH will be anything like Harbinger, or its predecessor of Diablo clones, but I don't want that sort of combat recipe. Is it just marketing, or will you really be riddled with a plethora of enemies on every screen?

Vivendi seems to be wanting to market this title as a Diablo-like game. Originally BIS's feature page for Lionheart seemed to be ripped straight from Blizzard's Diablo 2 feature page.
