Pillars of Eternity - Short Q&A @RPGCodex

Our friends at RPGCodex asked Chris Avellone about his current work on Pillars of Eternity. Here's a brief excerpt. Visit the Codex to read the whole thing.

Sitting down to write two characters for Eternity, Avellone felt as if the chains were off.

“I’m not writing for a publisher right now,” he thought. “So I can write about subjects we’re normally not allowed to. What’s interesting about the world of Eternity that I think these two companions could have something to say about?”

In the end, Avellone went too far even for his colleagues at Obsidian - those characters won’t appear in the game as he originally intended.
