Guest writers and episodic content in TSW?

July 30, 2012 by lonomonkey

I have to give it to the Secret World, it’s a great game to inspire blog content. So tomorrow, TSW is releasing Issue one which is really a small patch with a few quests that deepens a bit some zones and threads in the game. It’s not a lot, but players are really excited to go back and explore the back story of some characters more as well as reveal more lore.

Then I started reading American vampire last weekend and I just love it. Besides being a great vampire story, they also brought Stephen King himself on board to write the story and the mix of a great writer and great comic book artist created one of the best comic book I’ve seen in a very long time.

So this got me thinking, small patches of content are something some players obviously like and guest writers trying new mediums can really produces great stories. So… why not try it in a MMO? I’d really love to see a writer like Stephen King do a quest chain or two for TSW and see what happens.

Anyone else think like me?

    That would be interesting to see guest writers do a quest or quest chain. Having novelists or writers in other mediums do video games might be iffy though, as apparently the process can be drastically different. But if it is done with the guidance of game developers, I think it’s a neat idea nonetheless, and it also means a greater variety of quests.
