Though he should probably consider keeping this sort of thing to himself, Chris Taylor, designer and project lead on Dungeon Siege (and old RTS hit Total Annihilation), is fond of telling the tale of how Bill Gates (that's
Mr. Microsoft to you, pal) came to give Dungeon Siege the initial go-ahead. You see, Mr. Bill always examines prospective titles before giving them the green light for funding. In this case, Chris and his team had a terrific "idea" for a game, but nary a line of code to back it up.
