Project Eternity - Interview with MCA @ PC Gamer

PC Gamer talked to Chris Avellone at GDC on varius subjects from Fallout: New Vegas, Wasteland 2, to Torment: Tides of Numenera.  In the interview, he also talks about Obsidian's own title, Project Eternity. As always, a quote:

You mentioned the different cultures. We saw some of that in the early concept art, where we had the Inuit-inspired dwarf. Do you have a particular favorite culture that puts a spin on an existing fantasy trope?

Well, my favorite race is the Orlans. They're feline-based, and I don't think there's actually an equivalent of them in standard fantasy fare. Partially because I'm a cat person, and I really like the idea that they're sort of the stealthy, guerrilla class. That kind of appeals to me. And you know, the trap-making. They're very anti-slaver, because the slavers love to pick on them. So that's caused some interesting paranoia and hostility in their culture.
