@GreysunMorales

Are you guys happy with TLOU casting choices so far? And also, who do you want to see as the other characters such as Tess and Tommy?

PlayStacin

@PlayStacin

If there’s a female Ratchet and a parallel Nefarious, do you think there’s other characters from other dimensions? Will we see other Clanks, Qwarks, and Lawrences?

Sabrina Rei

@StewOfBoo

So about that female Lombax…

Jake Free

@JakeFreeDieHard
