Chris Avellone Interview

The guys at Duck And Cover have casted an interview with Chris Avellone of Black Isle Studios, talking about everything from Fallout III and Icewind Dale II to what kind of science fiction game BIS would make:

Q: Has BIS ever considered making a straight up Science Fiction RPG? Which way would you tend to lean: a sci fi universe where it’s basically fantasy with some x factor making up for magic (i.e. Star Wars and THE FORCE) or would it be something more Shadow Run?

A: I’m sure it’s been talked about, but I’ve never heard much about it. Not like either is really an option, but I’d lean more toward something like Shadowrun than Star Wars, just because it’s got more of an edge to it, and it’s got some ties to places and cultures in the real world that makes it a little more fun to play around with.
