Fallout: New Vegas Writer Returns to Obsidian… But It’s Not What You Think

Besides heading the main story in Fallout: New Vegas, Gonzalez also served as the chief narrative designer for Monolith Productions’ 2014 action role-playing game Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and held the position of narrative director for Guerilla Games’ open-world games Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West.
