    Here are today's "Jefferson" project forum highlights. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context.

    J.E. Sawyer, Lead Designer

    "Jefferson" Artists: Four IPLY or ex-IPLY people have art on there: Jason Manley, Kevin "Puddnhead" Llewellyn, Andrew Jones, and John Dickenson.

    You can see some of Vance's work on the cover of The Silver Marches and in the IWD2 male monk and ghostwise halfling portraits. Chris Appelhans did the female monk portrait for IWD2.

    Quote: I think RPG's should be about exploration of a particular role. Not following a story of people in your party. Definately not, for a BIS games. And since Josh is the man in control, I doubt something this silly will happen.

    Almost all of the CNPCs in Jefferson are drawn into the Protagonist's company because the Protagonist is dealing with a particularly important situation that affects a lot of people. While the CNPCs certainly wish (and might attempt) to address this situation on their own, the Protagonist is the only person who's "got the goods".

    Quote: Does this mean the PC is somehow special (like in BG) or is it just a case of the PC being the glue that unites disperate factions ?

    The Protagonist is special, but not inherently special, as he/she was in BG. A strange coincidence puts the Protagonist in the "game-important" position, but it's up to the player to choose how to deal with it.

    Quote: I would like to see characters getting their due XP. In IWD2 and the original BG I have often had to split my party and fight one set of monsters with one half and another set of monsters with the other half. What really gripes me about the current system is that the XP is just divided equally amongst the members of the party, rather than basing it on who did what in the battle.

    The importance of who does what, and when, is extremely subjective. Sorry, but I think it would take a silly amount of effort just to come close to getting appropriate merit-based awards.
