As part of his show for GOG's Twitch channel, Gregory "ArvanEleron" Wilson interviewed the lead writer for Wasteland 2, Nathan Long, who's currently wrapped up his work on Torment: Tides of Numenera and is working on The Bard's Tale IV. The interview starts around 5 minutes in and ends at the 1 hour and 13 minutes mark, so there's plenty of material to digest.
Long explains how he transitioned from screenplay and novel writing to video game writing, what inspired him when working on the game, the directives he received from the other developers (including CEO Brian Fargo), why some of the content he worked on was cut and why, and more.
