What is the situation with permadeath, the number one hot-button topic in the forums?
TL;DROn permadeath, the speaker says the shown death mechanic is only a small snippet, more will be revealed, and players should be patient and not extrapolate; it will be fun.
Regarding permadeath, here's the situation. Sometimes when you're making a game, we create these ideas, we put them out there, and then we have to run them through the process and see how it all works. So with this death mechanic, you guys just caught a small snippet of what Chris is wanting to do, but you haven't caught near the full breadth of what we're going to do in regards to this. So more will come out on that. We'll get more updated as we go. I think most people that have been thinking these things are going to work that way are not accurate, because it's going to be fun. I promise you it's going to be fun. Don't worry. Trust us. Look for an update on how that's run and try not to take little snippets and extrapolate out how things are going to work. Be a little patient. Trust us. We've done this before. This is not our first rodeo.
