Will our character be a set avatar like Colonel Blair, or will it be a customizable avatar? Will there be a return of the possible drunk mission? Will there be a colonel called Blair? And finally, will we have as much or more awesome interactive dialogue as in Wing Commander 3 and Wing Commander 4?asked by Isonyx
TL;DRMostly deflects as spoilers: it is a new universe, Blair is probably not returning though homages are possible, and the drunk mission isn't much fun.
Listen, I feel where you're coming from. You just have to let go. This is a new universe. It's going to be even cooler than Wing Commander.
Plus I think some former publishers we worked with might not take too kindly to [that], but I wouldn't be surprised to see some homage stuff pop up here and there now and again. Never can tell, but probably not Blair.
You know what, this would be a spoiler alert too. These are kind of things that the fans would want to play through and discover for themselves. And that's one thing we need to get out there: we'd like to answer everything we can, but we want to be cognizant of the experience that you guys are going to have. We want to make sure that you get to experience it the way we want you to experience it, and not knowing everything going in, right?
Right, and we talked about the drunk mission a lot yesterday, and the honest answer on that one is, it's really not much fun. You play it once to get the experience, and look at how messed up your controls are and everything, and then you're like, well, I can't win this. You go back, you skip the drinks, and then you go fly the mission normally.
Well, if you want a drunk mission, you just grab a beer out of the fridge.
