    Is that even a contested statement? I thought it's pretty obvious.

    Nonviolent doesn't mean "no combat". Maybe you can fight your enemies with a pillow.

    Pillows of eternity.

    You probably have it backwards. What he likely means is that there's no combat system but there might still be violence.

    Sawyer doesn't like romance, so no. There could be rape though.

    Not going to watch the video to see the wording, but does the way Sawyer mentions the 5 person team leave room for the possibility the 5 person team is only for the prototyping stage?

    Wiki says that it took $3M to make Darklands in early 90s, an inflation calculator doubles it for today, also games became more complex to make so maybe around $10M today which was Deadfire's budget(?) which had 40 to 50+ devs throughout its development and flopped so Obs/MS doesn't trust Sawya with that amount again maybe? :P

    deadfire looks way more expensive than $10M, especially with full voice acting.

    Yeah Upper Management decided on full VO very late in development. But Darklands seems to consist of mostly procedural content which wouldn't be suited for full VO but at the same time Obs haven't dabbled with procedural content much... What does Sawya think about procedural content Roguey? I think its shit btw :P

    According to the interview, rare academic German only history books that are archaically written ( cuz it's in fucking German ), that he can barely read ( cuz it's in fucking German ), for a single chapter that might add to his understanding of the daily lives of 15th century Benedictine monks.

    I can see your enthusiasm and it clearly was reflected in Pillows of Eternity. Kekekekekek.

    Not really, but it's likely that the team will have to expand at least a bit.

    He also says that the Grounded team is just 12-15 people btw.

    He doesn't like it when the randomization results in something requiring a reload.
