In this episode of EMP, narrative game designer Mary DeMarle, game designer Antoine Thisdale, and associate producer Marc-Andre Dufort sat down with me to discuss everything from the importance of narrative in the DLC and new content, to the improvements in tech and Antoine's love for lighting (you'll see).

Will Adam's glasses always be activated? Or will there be conversations where we can have a better look at his eyes? JJB responds to forum user Zakka.

Science fiction is a medium in which pertinent social/ethical/philosophical questions can be explored in aggrandized ways; coupled with the video game as a means of immersion and interaction, the sci-fi video game could allow players to explore in a personal manner some of these quandries. For example, in Deus Ex, the player could find himself confronted with the question of Lucius deBeers, and Battlestar Galactica was often praised for being a foil of our reality. Besides the non-lethal vs. lethal approach opportunities, in what other ways does DX:HR include these types of themes and allow the player to tackle questions of personal ethics?
