Where do you see the potential of randomly generated quests for other games or in the future?<\/p>\n<p>P.S.: I don&#8217;t like Skyrim&#8217;s radiant quests but I think the system has a lot of potential.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>13:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Diecast,<\/p>\n<p>The Unreal Engine 4 launched recently, with a very interesting pricing model. A flat monthly subscription fee and 5% off the top is an amazing direction to go in compared to their previous pricing models and removes the barrier to entry for indie developers. Do you think we&#8217;ll see a huge surge of indies using the engine? Are you tempted to try it out yourself? I know I am.<\/p>\n<p>-Neko<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For reference, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.necco.com\/candy\/wafers.aspx\">these are the Necco Wafers<\/a> we were talking about when we were supposed to be answering the question. My column that will actually answer this question properly should go up on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Diecast,<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of the recent announcement that the in-development World of Darkness MMO has been canceled? Is this a tragic loss, or have they just avoided a situation like Elder Scrolls Online where an MMO launches and fails to meet expectations from the fans?<\/p>\n<p>Dave B.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>28:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Strongbad,<\/p>\n<p>What is your least favorite game in Spoiler Warning?<\/p>\n<p>With crap,<br \/>\nRutskarn<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>44:00 Romance characters in games.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We end with Rutskarn beginning a tale of his very first D&amp;D game.
