From what I've heard of the new game, it's going to be a battle between good and evil, civilization vs. barbarism. What's interesting to me is the Bluebeard influence.

Bluebeard's a very creepy story, but it's got a very ornate and rich feel, as well. What I'm hoping is that we have an opportunity to play in a world where civilization is wealthy but decadent, and politics might be a factor.
I'd love to hear more updates on the new game's progression, but it's probably too soon. Can't wait forever though Jeff!
