Interview Six:
Dak'kon
Becker: Hi everybody! This is the Torment Interviews; I’m your host, Becker. Here with me today is Dak’kon. Dak’kon: Dude, just call me Dak. This is, like, a formality-free zone, y’know? Becker: Sure thing, Dak. So what’s it like working on Torment? Dak: Totally killer. Bueno maximo, y’know? Becker: Uh, sure. I don’t suppose you could go on a little more? Dak: No problemo! So the way I see it, Torment is one big allegory, y’know? Like, as if you’re this guy, see? And you’re trying to get your memories back. Becker: That’s not an allegory Dak, that’s what the game is actually about. Dak: Oh. Becker: Why don’t we talk more about you. So you’re a Githzerai, what’s that like? Dak: Way cool. Becker: I see. Just to elaborate for the folks at home, I understand your race is blessed with exotic mental powers that transcend the comparatively feeble abilities of normal humans. What psionic feats are you capable of? Dak: Well, we can drive a stick shift. Becker: Not bad. Dak: Yeah, it’s nice racial ability since we like to travel and all, y’know? Becker: Yes, I had heard of your abilities to travel to exotic places throughout the multiverse. Where have you been? Dak: The astral plane is kind of cool. Then there’s always Sigil. Awesome city! Great clubs. Becker: So your race can be found there? Dak: No way. Usually we follow the Grateful Dead around. Or Phish. Phish are pretty cool too. Becker: I should have guessed. Dak: Yeah. Things are getting kind of wild with the Githzari right now too! Becker: Why is that? Dak: It’s our new leader. He just started up this week and he has some major plans for us. Becker: Oh no, not- Dak: Yep. Guido Henkel. Becker: I thought he left Black Isle to spend more time with his family. Dak: We are his family, dude! Becker: Well, I’ll admit there is a resemblance. So Guido’s going to lead the Githzerai across the multiverse following the Grateful Dead? Peachy. Dak: No way! Guido says we can aspire to a higher level, y’know? Becker: Thank God. Dak: We’ll be following Ani DiFranco. Becker: I see. Well, it seems we’re all out of time this week- Dak: Really? Becker: No, but I just can’t take it anymore. Stay tuned next time when we’ll have ... anyone but Dak. Dak: Cool! Peace out!

OK, show of hands ... who honestly knows who Ani DiFranco is? That's what I thought.
Lesbian folk singer, guys.
