Tabula Rasa Interview

ComputerAndVideoGames.com has conducted an interview with Destination Games' Richard Garriott, in which the Ultima creator talks a bit about his upcoming sci-fi MMORPG, Tabula Rasa. Here's a bit to start you off:
Q: How do you think of yourself in development terms?

A: I'm a Tolkien-style developer, so I'm happiest when I can map every aspect of my world. It's been both a great joy but a very daunting problem. Ultima grew little by little, but creating something of that depth in one shot is a lot of hard work!
