A game for 4 year olds

[kaynide]

@Cleretic: I'll try to dig out a source, but I wanna say it was laaaater 2.x since most early 2.x was just talking about like..dungeon or art direction...and showing how they had to scale DOWN graphics from 1.0 to make the game run better etc.

I'll try to find it, but essentially they talked about how even Gaius (from his point of view), feels he is doing the right thing and just isn't evil. They talked about the Garleans and how they felt they were "civlilzing the savages"; The final scene with Ultima (this was not my intent!) where it shows the Garleans as not being on the same team as the Ascians was a nod to that.

They also talked about making a point to show bad actors in play in one the "Good" side (eg the Monetarists). Or that "Bad" sides are not necessarily evil (eg. Ramuh).

To be fair, they don't really talk a lot about their design philosophy in the 2.x live letters, just the constant new features/content..so it might have been Heavansward when that actually came up.

Will see if I can dig it up.

...or I could be hallucinating, that was like 6+ years ago...

Edit: 30 minutes later, I give up. I know it was stated but I will concede to it might have been something said in 3 or 4.x where they might have said something like "From the beginning we wanted to show everyone as not being good or evil, but as having differing points of view".
