"We're finding ourselves engaged in metagame stuff, accomplishing things and finding rewards for those accomplishments. I don't want to risk saying 'RPG,' because I don't want to associate this with Borderlands, but as gamers we understand how overtime accomplishment can take something from a consumable experience and turn it into something that can be a hobby for us." - Gearbox's Randy Pitchford
