I hated Abby with the fire of 1000 suns, and then she became one of my favorite characters of all time. Never in my 30 years of gaming has that happened. Brilliant character and I can’t wait to see the adaptation.

“Our process of kicking the tires on everything, our process of agreeing that no matter how much we disagree, we will find a way to agree. There’s no veto power here. No one gets his way, it’s ‘we will figure it out.” Said Craig Mazin, “I think we will be a little more efficient in our process, which means we’ll have more time to do some more complicated things.”
