The interview is supposed to say this:
> "What is your least favorite thing about working in the industry?
> Playing the games. This is probably a terrible thing to admit, but it has definitely been the single most difficult thing for me. I came into the job out of a love of writing, not a love of playing games. While I enjoy the interactive aspects of gaming, if a game doesn't have a good story, it's very hard for me to get interested in playing it. Similarly, I'm really terrible at so many things which most games use incessantly -- I have awful hand-eye coordination, I don't like tactics, I don't like fighting, I don't like keeping track of inventory, and I can't read a game map to save my life. This makes it very difficult for me to play to the myriad games I really should be keeping up on as our competition."
However the link to the real interview is dead[1]. The only posting available is a copy from the BioWare forum 12 months ago[2].
I'll admit that the long-form really softens up the impact. It give her nuance and personality, and its hard to shamelessly hate someone you understand unless ofcourse, you willfully choose to selectively remember the worst of what they say.
