What can change the nature of a man? Just ask Chris Avellone, the writer behind some of the greatest role-playing games ever made, including Planescape: Torment, Fallout II, and Knights of the Old Republic II. He’s here today to take your questions.
Avellone, who was an instrumental part of the classic developer Black Isle Studios and co-founded the RPG powerhouse Obsidian Entertainment back in 2003, has written and contributed to way more games than should be possible for a human of 43. Most recently, he wrote two characters (Durance and Grieving Mother) for the stellar Kickstarted RPG Pillars of Eternity. He’s also currently working on Torment: Tides of Numenera, a spiritual successor to Planescape.
Avellone will be here taking your questions for the next hour or two starting at 1pm ET. Ask whatever you’d like.
UPDATE (3:02pm): Q&A’s over! Thanks to Chris for taking the time to chat with us today.
