Obsidian Entertainment Q&As

NWN2 Chronicles has posted a massive Q&A feature that profiles several members of the Neverwinter Nights 2 development team. Participating members include CEO Feargus Urquhart, creative director Chris Avellone, lead designer Josh Sawyer, producer Kevin Saunders, assistant producer Nathaniel Chapman, lead programmer Rich Taylor, programmer Adam Brennecke, junior designer Annie Carlson, and community coordinator Rob McGinnis. A snip from Mr. Sawyer:
Q: Who's your favorite character in NWN2?

A: My favorite "joke" character is Ribsmasher. He started out as a tribute to Skullcrusher in Pool of Radiance, but Jeff Husges made his behavior really funny. My favorite "real" character is Ammon Jerro, mostly because he's so driven and obsessive, and I think he's well written while still having a lot of flavor. You can take him seriously even though he's kind of "over the top".
