The Illusions We Make on Gamasutra is an interview with Gearbox's Randy Pitchford about Borderlands, their upcoming role-playing shooter. They discuss how the developers' enjoyment of their own game is slowing its progress, the addictive Diablo-style loot collection, comparisons with Fallout 3, the pacing of a shooter, storytelling, caring about characters, how enemies will not level up along with the player, the art and illusion of game design, and more.
