USgamer's RPG Podcast Welcomes RPG Legend Brian Fargo

AXE OF THE BLOOD GOD: We interview legendary director Brian Fargo about Wasteland 3 and go in-depth on Final Fantasy XV.

This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team.

Axe of the Blood God is our weekly RPG podcast hosted by Kat Bailey. You can find the previous episodes here.

In this week's episode of Axe of the Blood God (download link here), we welcome RPG legend Brian Fargo for a look at Wasteland 3. Plus, our fearless leader has Final Fantasy XV impressions!

Brian Fargo, of course, should need no introduction. From his start as an amateur designer in high school through his famous run at Interplay and to the present, Fargo has been responsible for some of the greatest RPGs ever made. We welcome him to the pod in the second segment, where he talks about his vision for Wasteland 3, the challenges of making RPGs back in the late '80s, and how the genre has evolved through the years.

Also in this episode: Jeremy and Nadia share their impressions on Final Fantasy XV! With just a month to go before it finally arrives, here are our thoughts on the first third of the game. We're actually pretty excited!
