    I think what Patrick said about being around people who challenge you is great general life advice. Really great interview, thanks for the insight into what you’ve been through, and what other people can aim for/work on to help find/get to where they want to be in life. I loved hearing how much you deliberate over names – makes me feel better about myself in that respect hah.

    And holy crap the renegade side of the Mordin/Tuchunka story. What happens and the ramifications of it later in the game? A punch in the gut. I felt like an awful awful person doing it. I spent days going – I can’t believe I/Shepard did that. It’s exactly what it needs to be – horrible.

    Really fascinating to hear about writing in women and PoC in the Palace Job (or writing in general). Glad to hear the discussion about it.

    And great cast all around! Love when you guys have a guest 🙂

    I chuckled at the bit about Mordin’s seashells, because when I played through I totally flashed to the Red October scene he said he was referencing. 😉 “I would have liked to have seen Montana.” It’s like the most heart-breaking line in that movie.

    My next playthrough is going to be as a Renegade and.. well, I’m cringing already at the Renegade path on Tuchanka. I don’t know what’s going to happen, I’ve avoided spoilers but I know it cant possibly be good and Mordin is basically my favorite character.

      I agree! It’s always awesome to hear an author’s inspiration and realize you felt the same thing when you read/played through it. I do not envy your renegade play through at all, godspeed my friend.
