There's a lot of poor writing in games. Most of the storylines and dialog are simplistic at best. So it's always interesting to learn that an acclaimed author is being brought in to help in the writing process for games. That's exactly what's happening with UK-based sci-fi author Richard K. Morgan.In a new post on his web site, the author of novels like Altered Carbon has revealed he has been working with Electronic Arts as a writing consultant for three unannounced upcoming games. It's not likely that he's writing for The Sims or Madden. Indeed he says all of the games he is working on are sci-fi based. He seems very happy with the relationship and in terms of writing for games he says, "The field is open, the potential huge and, in story terms, only just beginning to be properly tapped."
