Weekend Confirmed 95 - Ken Rolston, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
by Garnett Lee, Jan 13, 2012 11:00am PSTTwo game design heavyweights lend their voices to the show this week. Weekend Confirmed welcomes the legendary Ken Rolston, lead designer on Morrowind and Oblivion, who is currently working on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Big Huge Games' lead combat designer Joe Quadara also joins us. Together, they provide new insights from the creator's side in our ongoing discussions around Skyrim and storytelling within large-scale open world role playing games. Of course, the conversation naturally then turns to the approaches they took with Reckoning, and we get into some detail about the upcoming game. There's much more as well with news and your comments from last week's show before we wrap it all up with Finishing Moves.

Comments
If you never played Guild Wars, the only time you would see other people were on town hubs, otherwise you were alone in the rest of the game world. Of course if you formed a party then you would have other people with you. Also you didn't select a server to join, when you went into a town it would place you in one of 10 servers depending on how full each server was. And once in the town you could change which server you were located in. So you could move to the most populated server or the least populated server.
I think this world work perfectly for a Fallout MMO, it might even work for an Elder Scrolls MMO as well.
