The writer behind Deus Ex has joined BioWare (Senior Narrative Director) MARY DEMARLE LED NARRATIVE ON MODERN DEUS EX GAMES AND GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-writer-behind-deus-ex-has-joined-bioware/DeMarle was in charge of the narrative and writing in all recent Deus Ex titles, including Mankind Divided, Human Revolution, and mobile spin-offs Deus Ex: Go and Deus Ex: The Fall. She also created the story and led the writing team for 2021’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which won the Game Award for Best Narrative. The narrative designer shared the BioWare news on her LinkedIn page on Friday, but did not specify any specific projects. It’s possible she could be involved in either the upcoming Dragon Age Dreadwolf or Mass Effect 4. Speaking to GI.biz last summer, DeMarle discussed her view on the relationship between gameplay and narrative in game development. “For many, many years working in this industry, I’ve known that story is often subservient to gameplay,” DeMarle said. “But if I understand the game and what is the feeling I’m trying to evoke for players, then I can understand that gameplay is trying to do it this way, and story is here to support that or bring it forward. How can the things I write help to emphasize the things the gameplay needs, etc.? “As long as you always know the game you’re trying to make and understand why, then it just comes down to constant communication between narrative and gameplay, and constantly looking and understanding it from that point of view.” - I'm guessing she'll be on the next ME, but I don't for sure just yet. I never asked for this

POV starts at 23:21 *snip* Wild, I didn't realize it was recent enough to have DAI music. Thought it was a lot older than that. Unless this movie is a new one, replacing something that was more DAO-ish. I wonder how many of these amusement park ride vloggers are not aware of the origins of this ride, lol. The two videos I've seen so far seem to have featured people who did not seem to clue in to the Dragon Age references.

Bioware had a Narrative job posting open and Edios was just bought by Embracer which might have prompted her to go look elsewhere for work. She can probably work from the EA/Motive office in Montréal too. DeMarle is an awesome video game writer and she loves branching with choice&consequences in her narrative and not just at the dialogue level.

The art style and atmosphere of the Dues Ex games were nothing short of incredible.
I can't think of a single protagonist I enjoyed playing as less than Adam Jensen though. From his voice to his design - everything going on there was awful.
They should really have dumped him as the protagonist in Mankind Divided.

I recall Betrayal at Krondor where you mostly played Jimmy the Hand, but for a couple of chapters you played other characters in the story. It worked well and was a great game at the time. But the central theme was the story, not the character. Bioware builds itself on character and dialogue, so I'm not sure that would match their core strategy.
Betrayal at Krondor was my first video game and I absolutely loved it. I tried it a second time less than a year ago, but only made it to Chapter 7. Unfortunately, I had mistakenly sold off a magic item component in Chapter 6, and also somehow lost all my lock picking keys. In Chapter 7, I was "trapped" in one section of the map, unable to sell excess inventory at a town, and unable to use locked chests to temporarily hold excess inventory to sell later. Given that I was previously already tired of returning to town constantly in the game to sell excess inventory (in previous chapters), I decided to quit. Inventory management was the one thing I did not like in Betrayal at Krondor when I played it the second time. By the way, Jimmy the Hand was only in 4 of 9 chapters, but Owyn and Gorath were in 7 of 9 chapters. betrayal.fandom.com/wiki/Betrayal_at_Krondor#Main_characters I resumed Betrayal of Krondor after being burned out a few months ago ... I replayed half of Chapter 6 to get the best sword in the game, and used a cheat code to get picklocks for Chapter 7. So I am back on track to complete replaying my first videogame from over 25 years ago.
Uh ... nevermind.

Cheat codes saves me when I get burned playing the game. Especially so, when there is toooo much grind or inventory mgt is pizz poor.
You hear me Bio? DA:DW better not have useless grind as in Anthem or just any kind of useless grind. It spoils the game. And if I have a cheat code I will use it just to bypass that mgt authorised grind.

From his voice to his design - everything going on there was awful. They should really have dumped him as the protagonist in Mankind Divided. I disagree with everything here! Point for point. So, of course, I like your post lol. It is likely an unpopular opinion, doesn't make it wrong. I just don't agree, and wish Jensen's story would have had a proper conclusion. To each their own. Out of curiosity, how does Superman feel about it?

Out of curiosity, how does Superman feel about it? I'm conflicted about these posts I love Deus Ex so so much, and Jensen's VA is incredible. Yet I have to admit the character lost all his charm in MD and I cared about him a lot less. Maybe that's because the game was chopped up? Whatever it was, he was far colder and uninteresting. I'd still like him back to finish out his story, but only if it's genuinely good.

From his voice to his design - everything going on there was awful. They should really have dumped him as the protagonist in Mankind Divided. Yah Adam Jensen is the three day old stale white bread of protagonists. I feel this, I do. The feeling that you and ArcadiaGrey describe is not lost on me. For me, it.... adds immersion? Jensen is weary. He... never asked for this. I also really like dry humor. Also, I have a friend who actually speaks similarly, and even looks a little like Jensen especially when he points his goatee. So, playing the modern DE games is sort of like playing a game with my friend in a strange way. Finally, Jensen VA is prominent in VtMB, dude is a rockstar with an enormous body of work even if his delivery is flat sometimes. Call it my participation award, but he is a winner baby. I understand these complaints.
