Rhomal 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Eh? Wasn't he a Biowarian for a bit? The Developer Shuffle makes me dizzy. Is that were I recall his name from... he didn't have anything to do with nwn2 did he? Damn my old age my memory fails me... and I interviewed most all the core devs too!

fastpunk 1 Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) This is great news indeed. MotB is one of my all time favorites. I can't wait to see what he'll be working on. Sucks that Alex Brandon left though. I guess with every good news there's gotta be a bad one to go with it.
