Jade Empire Interview

CVG has tossed up a retrospective interview with BioWare's Diarmid Clarke, in which the senior producer talks about the development efforts that went into Jade Empire and Jade Empire: Special Edition.
The Outlander is a composite of different European explorers. His helmet is Spanish, his breastplate is German and he's obviously very English - he's an amalgamation of the European explorers who wandered over to China. Getting John Cleese was just one of those fortuitous moments. We were recording in Los Angeles, John Cleese was there, his agent was there and he was really open to the idea. We asked him if he had time, he said yes and it was all done in an afternoon. You'd expect something like that to take months, but it couldn't have been more simple.
