He seems very supportive/positive about modders who want to make their own games.

Of course he likes Modders, they are the only reason his games get any better or bearable.

He was really cool and approachable.
He said he'd played a lot of crpg.
We spoke about M&B, Leviathan, the next M&B, and the standard of girls in Newcastle.

Frankly, it is good news. After Blizzard and Diablo III in DRM destorying their moddingcommunity I seriusly start to question the logic of some developers now. Closely half of the entire D2 community was into mods and dedicated to playing em. Then came D3 with some DRM shit to get things noone gave a single fuck about and brutally murdered half of the reason why D2 was so popular in the first place. Not everybody uses common sense always it seems....Just when you think they are smart they walk themselves off a cliff.

Good points tiberius, but I think it has very little to do with the developers and very much to do with the publishers.  And even when it's not directly the publishers saying what they will finance or support, I think there's a lot of pressure on the developers to make "popular" games more so than making "great" games that will appeal to certain genres or niches.  For example, instead of making zombie games that appeal to zombie fans, they try to make a zombie game that appeals to everyone.  Instead of making an MMO that appeals to the hardcore MMO fans, they try to make an MMO that appeals to everyone.  So you end up with shit games like WoW that have to appeal to 12 year old ragers as well as casual gamers, because there's more of them, then there are of hardcore MMO gamers.

Maybe he realised the reason War of the Roses never worked is because of how warband is leagues ahead.

Even the Paradox CEO played a lot of c-RPG.

Donkey team, go on!  :mrgreen:

Or the fact that WoR was completely shit on all levels?
