Hi Firaxis, XCOM 2 is my favourite game and I can't wait for War of the Chosen! Thanks very much for taking the time to do an AMA.

I know you guys aren't the writers, but as a big fan of the story and world of XCOM, I was wondering what directions it might be going next? Do you think you'll tie up the loose ends relating to Dr Vahlen and Big Sky? Do you plan to reveal whatever greater threat the Ethereals are running from? What kind of areas of the XCOM universe would you like to explore in the future? How will you expand and enhance the player's emotional connections to their soldiers?

If these are too difficult to answer without spoiling anything (or you just don't have any answers yet), are you proud of XCOM 2's story? Anything you're particularly pleased with, or think you should have expanded upon?

What was your favorite/least favorite scene to film in GoT?

Did you consider moving the DLC story missions to occur further on in the campaign (say, after the Blacksite) or would that have made things unbalanced too?

They know exactly how they work, and the percentages are real. In fact, on lower difficulties, they're actually tweaked to be in the player's favour!

The fact that some people still feel like the RNG is stacked against them is a fascinating psychological phenomenon - says more about you than about the game.

A 100% hit does always hit. Always. Every time. It cannot miss.

If it's missed before, either A) You were mistaken B) A mod broke the game C) There was some kind of bizarre glitch.

I've played 800 hours of XCOM and it's never happened to me.
