DEVS: Tell us the stories of the pictures

[Elder Drake]

Whenever you come across a picture in the game, my assumption is that the picture is 9/10 times placed deliberately by a dev. It could be a lost one in the war, a loved one, etc. It would be a nice tribute to randomly highlight pictures and tell that person's story.

I was on the development team for SW: KOTOR, and I can say that there are so many developer-only secrets in that game it would blow you away. For example, I am in that game with my face bitmapped.

So many stories also push side quests, and with what this team went through and still is, I think it would do a lot to put a human face and story. It is my opinion we will not see a game developed like this again in our lifetime, and to hear more than a documentary-style video would be interesting.

yeah my guess is it's the DEV team?

They did stuff like this in the old games too.

It’s the Dev-life system working as intended.

I know that a lot of people are upset with bugs and that A-Live 2.0 is not working. I would say look at how hard they are working on patching bugs and have faith. This game was developed in an active war and is undergoing post-launch support during that war. The team has lost people, and seen horrific things, and yet they made this game to say to Russia, "screw you."

They needed to release the game because those developers had families and mouths to feed in this war. The head of Larian remarked on this. I would simply like to hear the stories I know are behind those pictures because they are not easter eggs; those are real people, and more than likely, tributes, would be my guess. Every time I see one, I ask, who was this person? What did they mean to the developer who placed that specific picture there?

They need to add a Goty or Director's Cut edition with developer commentary. That would be very nice
