Neverwinter Lead Producer Interview – The Foundry, New Classes, End-Game Content and More

MMORPGs are a dime a dozen these days, especially of the free-to-play variety. However, there is really only one (current) MMO on the market that is directly based on Dungeons & Dragons and that would be Dungeons & Dragons Online. However, Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment are joining forces to bring us a new action-oriented MMORPG based in Neverwinter, the popular area of the Forgotten Realms universe. If you’re not too aware of the game, you can check out my list of top free MMORPGs to play in 2013 where it tops the list as well as my impressions/video coverage of the press beta right here. Below, you can listen to my full interview with the Lead Producer of the game, Andy Velasquez.

I talk with Andy about his career and experiences, my experiences with the beta and get some burning questions answered about the user-created content feature called ‘The Foundry,’ different classes, what type of content requires money to unlock, end-game content and lots more in our 20-minute discussion. Listen to the full interview above.
