Questions for Meg

@Thain1982:

80 Days feels simultaneously challenging and forgiving. Was that intentional? (if so) how did you do that?

Are there any other classic stories you would like to revisit in a similar manner to 80 Days?

I loved being able to share my 80 Days journey at the end of the game. Was that feature always planned?

What we’re playing:

Meg: Stellaris, Pillars of Eternity

Tanya: Uncharted 4, Stellaris
