My Take
Rhianna Pratchett strikes me as a quiet revolutionary in game storytelling. Carrying the weight of being Terry Pratchett's daughter, she forged her own reputation through her writing on Heavenly Sword, Mirror's Edge and especially the Tomb Raider reboot. Reframing Lara Croft as a vulnerable, wounded yet resilient human being was, to my mind, a genuine creative milestone. Her journalist's eye for sharp, economical storytelling helped elevate what game narratives could be. I value writers who treat interactive fiction as serious craft rather than filler, and she does exactly that. When her name is on a script, I trust the story will earn its emotions.
