New Planet site on the block Planet Dungeon Siege has done a interview with Gas Powered Games on the upcoming RPG game, best described as something like Diablo II but with a more flowing, and involving story:

PDS: The game world is large and we will be following our character through quite a few lands and will be meeting up with various types of creatures, will there be any back story for them?

Neal Hallford: Let me put it this way: When I first came on to the project, the first thing I did for Gas Powered was to create a 70 page encyclopedia on the lands, peoples, and backhistory of Dungeon Siege. That doesn't include the separate spell, monster, or object lists that the team already had on hand, or the story outline or the game script that I hammered out later. In the course of playing this first game, players will only be directly exposed to about 20% of that material, and I can assure you that the encyclopedia will continue to grow as the need arises to explain new lands, new cultures, and so forth.

This game is going to totaly rock, nuff said.... Check out the full interview here while your there, check out some of the screenshots etc.
