Temple of Elemental Evil Interview

GameSpot has conducted an interview with several members of the Temple of Elemental Evil development team, asking them a small batch of questions about the game now that the demo has been released. An excerpt, as usual:
Q: Do you have any specific tips or hints for our readers as they play the demo?

Tim Cain: If a creature can go into dialog with you, then there is a way to avoid combat with that creature. You may need a dialog skill (like diplomacy or bluff) or some particular item or some money, but there is a way. Also, while it should go without saying, save your game often. Death is always waiting around the corner.
