Apologies for the poor audio and video, and also for my occasional comments - I recorded this on my iPhone and never really expected it to be viewed so often on YouTube.

Timestamps:
0:00 - How long were you involved in the project?
2:00 - How did you stay excited about the project for such a long time?
4:45 - Did you work together in the way actors on a conventional stage would? Did you act together in mocap? (They speak at length here about how well they got on with each other during the project).
11:20 - Can you describe the audition process. Did you know what you were auditioning for? (shout out for the actor who plays Alkibiades).
18:28 - What is it like to be famous due to a computer game character? (they discuss what it is like for the player to connect to the character over many hundreds of hours).
21:00 - Was there one particular line or scene that caused you to corpse? (Snake in the grass, Swoorrrrrrrddfiiiiiish, another goat?, asphodel - I said asphodel - I should've said it louder). They talk about the length of the weekly scripts they had to learn.
29:10 - How did you find your character's voices? (Michael comments that I look like Roger Craig Smith?). Michael shows how he made Alexios "Greek Bruce Wayne".
31:18 - Malaka!
31:28 - Back to the character voice question
33:44 - How much did you know about the twists and turns of the story? Character deaths?
