Only a fool hates that which he knows nothing about |
Nice interview, I'm happy that someone of his caliber is looking after the lore side of things within the team. I loved Warlock of Firetop Mountain too :P New Tarantia Commons DX10 - DX 10 Goodness - The views expressed on these forums are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of mmorpg.com |

I really don't see how he qualifies as a lore master of Hyboria. If this was Star Wars game, I could understand, he can't shut up talking about Star Wars, even on official forums. One would think that lore master would for such strong IP as Conan would actually be somebody with decent amount of experiance, but it looks like Eliot started reading Conan materials only after he got the job to work on the game - I guess that's why we have freaking fireballs in the game. Eliot, get fired or get your shit together. |

Conan blows fire balls out of his arse and is 7feet tall just like William Wallace. |

i dunno about fireballs but i recall that one of the original stories i read had some magic pyrotech-ery in it. |

Originally posted by Drvanitus Maybe he has decent amount of experience in being methodical, structured and have attention to detail and consistency, instead of being a lore nerd who can't drag his head out of Hyboria even during family dinners. And I kind'a doubt he'd be the one to decide on fireballs. But you of course know all this and more since you read the official forums and know who to fire if needed. :p --- |
