With the together RPG of Planescape Torment right around the corner and the remake and Project Eternity on the horizon, I have scheduled Chris Avellone of Obsidian for an interview on our next show.

In the spirit of together rpg I am taking some question requests for the interview. So, if you have something you would like us to ask Chris on the show, reply here by Thursday. I will try to pick a few and incorporate them into the interview.

No questions for the lead designer of Planescape Torment?

Wow this is awesome! I didn't see the request for questions till you bumped it.

"Can you discuss some of the challenges you've run into when writing games with expansive dialogue trees and character-driven stories?"

"What are your fondest memories of working on Planescape: Torment?"

"Maybe a little like picking a favorite child, but what is one of your favorite games you've worked on?"

And last chance for question requests. I will be preparing him a list of questions to review tonight.

The overarching story in Planescape: Torment includes the question "What can change the nature of a man?" The game never actually spells it out. So it'd be fun to see his response to that question (make sure you include the inflection I added).
