About being optimistic for the future of scifi, character-driven RPG gaming…
We’ve long known that a lead writer of the story for EXODUS is Drew Karpyshyn, narrative architect for Mass Effect 1 and 2 (much of his plans for the Reapers were abandoned in ME3, after he left Bioware); Exodus also has Peter F. Hamilton heavily involved in the worldbuilding.
This week, we learned that The Expanse: Osiris Dawn, has David Gaider, the narrative mastermind of the Dragon Age series, guiding the game’s narrative (https://x.com/TheExpanseRPG/status/2118743883953610924).
Are these games a duel-to-the-death between the best ex-Bioware narrative minds? Nope! We don't have to choose - we can play them BOTH. Gamers win, and no one has to lose. Embrace the power of "and."
