TORN Dev. Diary

Just like in the movies, games while in developement, get certain elements cut from the final game such as item graphics, levels, bits of story and characters. This developer diary from Team BlackIsle at GameSpy on the 3D RPG with Fallout & fantasy flavor, TORN, lets us in on some of the crazy characters they’ve come up with and scrapped in the past. Take this for example:

Squeaky the Free-Wheelin’ Atomic Dolphin: The good — Squeaky is an intelligent sea mammal that spreads a good environmental message and promotes peace via her laser beam eyes. The bad — Explanation for major tributaries and canals on every map becomes overwhelming.
