    A quite lengthy interview with the producer of SSI's upcoming CRPG Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor has been posted at Mindless Games.
    Pool of Radiance is a continuation of SSI's original legendary series of CRPGs: Pool of Radiance(1988), Curse of the Azure Bonds(1989), Secret of the Silver Blades (1990), and Pool of Darkness(1991). Those titles were the first games to start the legendary Gold Box Series.

    A snippet from the interview:

    Q: Will this new version stay true to the original AD&D rules, in that will we have to build a character from the ground up, choosing the race, gender etc? Will we be able to modify our attributes as the original did, allowing us to max out all of the attributes or just leave it from the die roll we do?

    Garrett: You will be able to create up to 4 characters from any combination of the following races (human, elf, dwarf, half-elf, halfling, half-orc) and classes (fighter, barbarian, ranger, paladin, monk, rogue, sorcerer, cleric). You can multi-class as well in the game, which can lead to some interesting combinations of skills and powers. Character generation is a little different than in the past, though, as we opted to use the new, alternative method for creating a character. You get to start with 25 points to spend on your 6 main attributes, which all begin at a score of 8. Therefore, you have complete control over how strong, dexterous, intelligent, or charismatic you character eventually becomes. Add onto that the new 3rd Edition rule of being able to increase an ability score by 1 point every 4 levels, and you have a very flexible system for players to explore.
