Spiderweb Software Interview

The fifteenth issue of the online-exclusive Thirteen1 magazine features an interview with Spiderweb Software's Jeff Vogel about the Avernum and Geneforge series, the company's future plans, and more. A snip:
What about Avernum 6? Are there any changes planned for the finale?

Oh, yes. I'm blowin' all sorts of stuff up!

There are also a lot of interface and system improvements, and the previously mentioned graphics revamp. The game looks really nice. And the plot is more intricate than any Avernum game so far. It's got a lot of fan service and general coolness. There are a lot of beloved characters who deserve a final end to their stories. Good, or bad.
There's also a review of Fallout 3: Broken Steel within, in case you're interested.
