RPG Codex member Jedi_Learner has posted an Age of Decadence Unofficial FAQ on the RPG Codex forums. He has collected the statements of Vince D. Weller, head of Iron Tower Studios, on various aspects of the game. A brief selection of questions and answers:<blockquote>Q: What is Age of Decadence?
A: "...Age of Decadence is an isometric, turn-based, single-player 3D role-playing game set in a low magic, post-apocalyptic fantasy world, inspired by the fall of the Roman Empire. The game features a detailed skill-based character system, non-linear gameplay, multiple skill-based ways to handle quests, choices & consequences, and extensive dialogue trees." (Ref)

Q: How much will Age of Decadence cost? Will there be a collector's edition?

Q: How long will Age of Decadence take to complete?
A: "I'd say it's similar to the length of Fallout 1. The rest depends on how you'd play the game." - ( June 1, 2006) (Ref)
Q: What classes/professions are available?
A: There are seven different characters to choose from when you begin. You can find a detailed description of each class here.
Q: How many quests are there? How many locations are there and what will they be?
A: "Over 100 quests, taking you to 22 locations: towns, outposts, archeological digs, sealed places of Power, underground facilities, and temples." (Ref)
Q: At the end of the game, will there be a summary of my actions?
