Quotes (from this video)
  • I hope they have a new job nowadays right because like yeah you don't want to have a city that just consists of one way street but that's the way it is
  • this is a legacy roll right that means uh you will have different episodes that work differently
  • So what we now do is that's that's pretty clever
  • there's like a little bit of a pushy luck mechanism here almost right if you want to call it that
  • I really like these heist I really like those
  • if you like roll and r games if you like solo games and if you enjoy what he saw you today I see no reason for you not to check out the campaign
