Overlord Interview

Game Chronicles has dished up a Q&A with Triumph Studios co-founder Lennart Sas about their recently released RPG/strategy hybrid, Overlord.
Q: Is it possible to play this game and not be totally evil? How many levels of evilness are there in Overlord and how many endings are possible based on your deeds (good or bad)?

A: While playing the game tracks your actions and measures your evilness in the Corruption Meter. You start with 0%, but acts such as raiding villages; killing peasants for their souls, kidnapping virgins and whatnot will increase the tally.

Corruption influences what sort of high-level magic you get to use, what mistress you will acquire, the look of the tower, the look of the Overlord and it will determine the ending sequence. I won't go into details because that would spoil some of the fun!
