    What role exactly will John Patrick Lowrie play in the game since there is no campaign? Will he be announcing battlefield situations such as "commander under attack" etc? I really like his work and I'd love to listen to him in game, I just have no idea how much talking there is to do in a game exclusively featuring robots with little to no story.

    "Encounters"? What in the world is that? Pokemon on the gameboy back in the 90s comes to mind.

    This is all very speculative. :) We haven't really talked in detail about any of this, including the role of narration, yet.

    Whatever needs to be done? We are going to do an intro movie for example.

    Every game you play should sound like you're playing bastion...

    yeah, definitely John Lowrie if at all possible. I'm sure it'll be good regardless though.

    John Lowrie is the narrator in the current concept trailer. He is listed as being the narrator for PA, so he will be in the game as well. Remember he is the guy that did TA along with Half-Life 2 and pretty much all Valve games.

    Wait, so Lowrie isn't in the office right now writing code? All hands! It's almost alpha time.

    I wonder if he no-call no-shows for work all the time and says "it's not like they can fire me now, right?" Damn that guy.

    I humbly request an easter egg where Mr. Lowrie does all the sound effects with his voice. :)
