Q: Clearly the D&D universe is not only vast but populated by very passionate fans. How daunting did the prospect of trying to cram that mythology into a UMD prove when starting the project?

From a project management and quality-assurance standpoint, the sheer size and scope of the single-player campaign was intimidating. As you can see, it was not easy to cram all of this onto a UMD, but we succeeded.
