AG: With JC Denton, he was special. He wasn't the first one to be nano-augmented, but he and his brother were the first big public ones to go on missions. Jensen's not like that. What challenges did that bring in that he's not the Jesus figure.
MD: That's a very good question. Never had that one before, so I don't have an answer ready. The challenge, I think, in creating Jensen was exactly that - a lot of video games, it seems that you are the "special" one. You are the chosen one. When we struggled with the storyline in initial development, we did have to find what it is that makes Jensen special like that. Hopefully we found it, hopefully you'll discover it, but it isn't the same as it is with JC. It's not like everybody knows this person is special. The challenge was, really, just creating the storyline and an interesting character that will come out of it. Hopefully we've succeeded.
