You know, what Astarion started out as being, and then the thing that, you know, people talk about again and again that Larian did so well is that their writers worked in tandem with the people that they cast.

So it's a collaborative act as opposed to I'm the genius with all the answers. Do my bidding, children. Try harder until you get it right. And I know which room I would like to be in. That excites me a great deal more. It's why I can't stand Hideo Kojima.

Sorry, I know. No, honestly, I get that too. But I get his whole star thing.

whatever, thing, you get that sense of, oh, he's such an auteur. Yeah, that's one word I'd use for him. It's like, he's probably an incredibly nice guy, and if I ever end up in a project, I'm not now. Just come and bite me on the bum at some point. Like, categorically, definitely. But, yeah, there's just a vibe there that I'm like, that's not a space that I would necessarily thrive with.

I mean, the number one thing is comparison. It's like the, it's the perennial acting. But I think it's, we all do it to a degree. You look at your peers and go like, How have they got that? What are they doing right that I'm doing wrong? Fundamentally. Then you add, you know, social media into the mix because you have to.
