StaceyPowers Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 @skyfire, you were differentiating writing as its own creative category in this thread which is worthy of a deeper discussion, so I thought I'd make a second topic here. Same basic question I asked on that thread, but focusing specifically on writing. Who are your favorite video game writers, and why? I am inspired by Neil Druckmann. I like his approach to writing, which is deliberately minimalist, and I know he has said that he likes a “simple story, complex characters.” That is exactly what TLOU is. The story is almost painfully simple, but it doesn’t matter, because he writes his characters so beautifully. They say so little throughout the game with words, but so much through their actions, and nothing is ever wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 For me it has to be Joe Madureira for darksiders and Noboru Sugimura for devil may cry. I think some really good writers are there even for castlevania. StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
