Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich Interview

PC Gameworld has published an interview with Irrational Games’ Kev Levine, in which the Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich producer discusses the superhero tactical RPG sequel. Here’s a taste:

Q: How did you come about creating the insanely strange cast? I mean Fortissimo, that guy is cool as hell, but where did he come from?

A: The odd thing about all the success we’ve had creating characters is that we never really worked out a process. Every character has come about in a way that was unique in one way or another. Sometimes it starts with me dropping a name I pull out of nowhere or a cool backstory, while others Robb Waters will slide a sketch across my desk and we’ll brainstorm from there.

At that point, an artist or designer will come up with a really cool power that can help define the character. The bottom line is that no two characters were created in exactly the same way. I think because we’ve never been forced to create something specific or had to follow some arbitrary guideline, the characters have all been fresh.
