To that I can add that, from what he said, this was never an idea that was supposed to be "complete" in a year. The Big Picture spans at least 10 years. It see's the gradual development of a world constantly moving forward and never looking back. It's more than just a new expansion every six months changing a world slightly--It's breathing life into a game and giving it spirit and soul, by allowing it to live and change.
You spend 15 minutes talking to the man, and you might be able to catch a month of the Big Picture, maybe...that is if what he's talking about doesn't take you off on a tangeant so far, that an hour later, you realize that you still only have a small part of that month of the Big Picture.
One of the great things about this game is that you don't have to speculate on what that picture is, you can ask and be answered. [img]/Web/emoticons/emotion-1.gif[/img]
