Combat in PoE boiled down to a simple (MMO-like) formula: stick your tanks in front to draw aggro, (de)buff/CC with magic classes, and do damage with your DPS hiding behind the tanks. There were a couple of attempts to subvert this cookie-cutter approach (the teleporting wraiths and those mushrooms), but in general you could sail through PotD with it. Whether you were fighting wolves, oozes, cultists, or ogres it was the same thing over and over again.
Have you done anything in Tyranny to make different encounters require unique tactical approaches?

Can you explain how you view the aggregation of utility?
Imagine there are two people in a room, one is "very happy" and the other is "very sad". You can't "add up" those feelings to get a sum of "OK" (or would that be the average?). It is not a question of quantifiability, but additivity. The reason that is nonsensical is because states of mind are internal, personal things. Abstractions (e.g. groups of people) do not have any state of mind at all.
In exactly the same way, even if we could measure utils and everybody experienced them in the same way: how can we meaningfully speak about util aggregates?

You have two upcoming films about volcanoes, and you made a brilliant one in the past (La Soufriere), what attracts you to volcanoes? They seem like a solid manifestation of the abstract relation between man and nature?
