I’m Creative Director. I direct creativity, sometimes in a positive direction. I also ask “why should the player give a crap?” a lot.
What games have you worked on?
I worked as a level designer/senior designer on Fallout 2, the Icewind Dale series (all of them), Dark Alliance, Champions of Norrath, Neverwinter Nights 2 and Mask of the Betrayer, and as a Lead Designer on Planescape Torment, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (man, that’s a long title), and Alpha Protocol. Currently working as a senior designer on Fallout: New Vegas.
I also did a lot of writing for Hero Games’ Champions back in the day, which was good times.
A very informative interview, thanks.
