Way back in April, 1UP gave some of their readers the chance to throw a few questions at Irrational's Ken Levine. Ken's just got back to them, which was awful nice of him, what with them being so busy and all. Highlights include:

• There's no third-person mode, because it just wouldn't work.
  
• They originally overshot on making the game accessible to shooter fans, and decided they didn't need to dumb down things like training you in the use of new gear.
  
• If/when BioShock 2 comes around, they now know how to get multiplayer right, which they weren't confident in during development of this game.

• Best part, though? Seeing people pose detailed, sometimes critical questions about a game that's not out and that they're yet to play. Luke Plunkett
