EP33_ with Susan O'Connor | Writing Bioshock, NPCs as Actors, Player vs Character Stories The Industry Idiots Game Design Podcast

In this week's merry episode we're joined by narrative-design angel and good friend Susan O'Connor (Narrative Designer & Writer for Tomb Raider, Bioshock, Telltale & Consultant to fix your narrative :-)) to talk all things game narratives and characters! We chat about the impact of NPCs and them being more than empty shells, modern cutscenes, the game world as the main character, indirect storytelling, and having an avatar (extension vs. foreign entity). Have fun!
