Same thing happened to me several months ago when I tried to sign up for their forums. I remember reading a post about it somewhere where they acknowledged the problem and said it was deliberate because of some bots, but they never felt like removing the block from new users. Some months later, they posted a work-around. Email them at team@owlcatgames.com with the line "Forum Posting Permissions" in the subject field asking for your account to be unblocked. 'Course, I'd lost interest in joining their forums by that point and never followed through.

Anyhow, here's my question for the interview.:

It seems like every western RPG out there, from Baldur's Gate to Neverwinter Nights, Planescape, Pillars of Eternity, Dragon Age, etc. all have a bias against including "shorty" relationships in the game. The same tired paths of Human, Elf, Half-Elf, near-Human (Tiefling, etc) are the only ones available, but never Dwarves, Halfling, Gnomes or the like. Are there plans to work a narrative in for the existing characters like Jubilost, Linzi, Nok-Nok or Harrim? Or perhaps some character to be introduced at a later stage?

Also

How foreplanned were the decisions in alignment-restricted storypaths? Like only Lawful characters being able to save both Jhod and Kesten? Or evil characters recruiting Vordakai? Having never played the TT module, I don't know if those were included, but it's one of my favorite parts of this game. Each playthrough on a different alignment has been a different experience in a way I haven't seen "branching" RPGs accomplish before.
