TOPIC LIST
1) As a game developer, has your perspective changed about playing games? Do you notice things you didn't before?
2) Many CRPG's employ level scaling, by which the the game's difficulty in terms of opponent power and challenge matches the player's level of power. Are you a proponent of it?
3) CRPG's with a party design offer either the option to create the party from scratch, or introduce potential companions the party in the narrative. Do you favor one or the other? Why?
