Can't get the screenshots atm... Conan O'Brien is popular in Norway? And they're making a game out of his show? Or, am I being obtuse, and this is referring to the barbarian? |

![]() They are not that small anymore. I had the good luck to talk to the former AO Community Representative a lot during my time at Blizzard and AO is really, really cool (or rather, has become really cool). I am sure they will do a good job with it. That is, if they are allowed to do it. Edward |

I find this quote from the official FAQ very reassuring: Quote: How true to the original writings of Howard are you intending to be?
The world that Howard created was a dark and gritty place and we certainly aim to very true to that feeling and atmosphere. Obviously Howard wrote the original works in the 1930’s, a long time before world war two, Martin Luther King or the 60’s sexual revolution, and some of his themes and characters are very much creations of their time that do occasionally jar our modern sensibilities, so Age of Conan will not be done in a tasteless, exploitative manner. Rest assured however that the world of Conan will never, ever, be politically correct and we hope that the game will capture all the elements of Howard’s creation that make it what it is! I never read the books myself, and haven't seen the movies in a long time, but the license si a familiar one, and not milked by one exploitation after another - I think it will make a fine online game - but the fact that they are not worrying about being PC is something I like very much. We need more games that jerk us around beyond the usual controversial nudity and violence. |
