Lhynn, I rate you as / Give me your, say, top 3 modules. Not that there's much chance of ever installing NWN again, but just in case.
Are you planning to include some sort of a freeplay option? Maybe even make the game open ended?
We are making a specific experience with Wasteland 2 that you make one purchase and then dive into the dark post-apocalyptic world. It’s what the gamers wanted and what our backers supported. Based on success we’d like to continue adding more areas to explore and we’ll eventually add mod tools for our audience to flex their design muscles.
Obviously, the storyline is going to include the events of the first Wasteland, but what about the novellas? Are Chris Avellone’s stories going to be referenced in one way or another?
We’ve made an effort to have a synergy with the novellas which give backstory to events in the world and provide clues and even passwords that are useable in game. You can even question Vargas about some story characters than can only be found in the written stories. And Chris got so excited he ended up writing an entire novel so expect quite a read there.
Lastly, what after the game is done? Are you already planning a follow-up title, as the Wasteland was originally supposed to be a trilogy?
Here is the beauty of being a smaller company without investors. We don’t need to have hurry up and get a sequel out to show growth our make our fiscal year. I certainly don’t want to stop making Wasteland games but we have a few other interesting ideas and I’d like time to hone any sequel ideas.

I wonder what ancient franchise they'll resurrect now if they aren't aiming for a sequel right away.

Clearly they recognized the value of that world and the soul that was breathed into it.

Why would they care about a sequel now? It's like everyone forgot that Torment ToN is not even close to being finished. The last update was in April, and this is how it looks right now.
Wut?Their pitch for T:ToN was 'we will be done with WL2 in 6 months, so we'll need a project by then' which was just baffling. Ended up being what, a year and a half?
Found the quote after some digging, it was 8 months. It was also mentioned in the video pitch I think.Wut?Their pitch for T:ToN was 'we will be done with WL2 in 6 months, so we'll need a project by then' which was just baffling. Ended up being what, a year and a half?
The reason they launched early was that some of the people who worked on W2 were done with it and needed another job.
Our “half team” is ready to start the pre-production for Torment now. They need about 8 months to get this pre-production work done. In an amazing coincidence, in about 8 months I will have a full team that is ready to take that pre-production plan and create a game.
From what I understand, Nathan Long stayed with W2 longer and did any additional writing that was needed during production.Although the idea that writers/designers are done after pre-production seems pretty weird to me. Shouldn't those writers be busy writing and designing during the actual production?
Torment kickstarter went up a year after Wasteland 2's, it's been more than a year since Torment's now, thinking three months ahead I would imagine they'd be at the same point as they were, with their "half team" ready to move on to pre-production of another game.Why would they care about a sequel now?

Yes, you've said that in the previous sentence already.that Gale fag said:My favourite franchises are Lords of Shadow, Mass Effect and The Witcher. But I do love me some mind-numbing FPS from time to time.
