I've got a library to read.

This article first appeared in PC Gamer magazine issue 373 in September 2022, as part of our 'Why I Love' series. Every month we talk about our favourite characters, mechanics, moments, and concepts in games—and explain why we adore them so much.I've always been convinced that the best part of game development must be getting to write RPG flavour text.

Even the ones that are dense with lore don't typically turn that lore into a library's worth of books spanning nearly every genre imaginable. But for those that do, I'm eternally grateful. Even when they end up being stuffy historical accounts, I appreciate the hint of that larger world that they provide.
