Well, I have some fond memories of those early discussions. Not so much about the content but just the general feelings that I told George Martin. He really knows about Dark souls Game. He knows about them and what they’re talking about, so that makes me happy. That gave me some motivation. I knew as soon as I talked to him, it was just obvious his skill and passion for the fantasy genre, and the game as well.
