Gamespot has posted an interview with BioWare cofounder Ray Muzyka and Pandemic cofounder Josh Resnick, mostly regarding the recent business alliance forged by the two developers, and about their desire to continue to build titles around licenses (Bioware developed KOTOR; Pandemic developed Battlefront II). A snip:
There's tremendous opportunities for synergies, because Pandemic does amazing things in terms of emergence and free-form gameplay--the kind of interesting things we'd love to pull in to the RPGs that BioWare is known for. We're going to continue the focus on strong heritage games here at BioWare, but we'd love to pull some great ideas from our sister company, or studio partner, over in Pandemic.

Bioware, of course, is the company developing Mass Effect. The full interview can be found here.
