There was a great question in the Twitch chat while waiting for the stream to begin:
Will there be a Collector’s Edition?
If so, will there be a solely digital Collector’s Edition as well?
No info on a CE at this time!
The more Randy talks the more two things happen:
-
I get more excited.

The more I realize this game really badly needs bots. It does. Randy was talking about team composition. If you play by yourself, you won’t have a balance of a tank, healer, DOS, etc. You’d be at a severe disadvantage.
He also mentioned that characters have conversations between each other. That’s a whole lot of character-building and humor you’d be missing by playing by yourself.
Please give us bots!

kind of the opposite for me, the more he talks the more I don’t want the game, but if I just watch the videos of the play without him in it, the game does peak my interest. will say this thow, everytime I hear Pitchford, he does make me laugh, so theres a plus there to
Why?
Some people really dislike randy, I don’t know why but I guess we all have different tastes in things.
I for one love Randy, I find his passion really endearing.

Man, he’s one of my favorite developers to listen to along with Jake Soloman of Firaxis, David Jaffe, and CliffyB. But Randy just gets so excited, it’s awesome.
I think it’s awesome that you, and others, are taking time to interact with us on the forums, especially at this stage when you are all working so hard on the game. Thanks!
Hey blackheartjohnnyviny - So, cone of silence here. Don’t let my marketing guys see this. I’ll pull back the curtain for just a second. 
I want bots too. We kinda sorta have them working in a very VERY rough fashion. But really only in the competitive levels now. To get them working in campaign is an actual incredible amount of scripting work, and unfortunately, has to occur after the “making of the levels” part. I’m not sure we’re going to get there fast enough to get bots in at any quality level you or I would deem useful.
So, we want it. We’re still working on some things. But I can’t make any promises yet as to where or how extensive bots will be in our game. Best I got right now is “it’s not a no”.

Thanks for the update!
As far as not getting done in time, I’d be totally excited for it if they came post-launch too! Haha
Okay, this video is great because a) funny narrating and more in depth introduction to classes and b) gameplay without voice over so you can pay attention to details about the HUD, the skills, what is on your screen. This is a pretty exciting 23 minutes of good stuff for those of us who were not at E3 to play.
