So this week we have a special treat: We interview the producer of the upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda, Fabrice Condominas, about what to expect about the upcoming game, some of the key themes to get excited about, and our hands-on experience with the game.
After that we also chat more generally about what we enjoy about BioWare games, and then compare what we love about western RPGs to what we love about Japanese RPGs.
It's a big podcast this week, so kick back, enjoy, and let us know what you think!
