Today's role was to take a game that isn't terribly narrative heavy and add to it, trying to fit into the existing themes and game mechanics. The thing that I realized when starting this exercise was that all modern games already have narratives. What I wound up with is a new section for Just Cause 2 that establishes a new character (who I am setting up to be a boss, because of course you don't actually kill the White Tiger in the game and that will make him very cross) and gets you from one point in the story to another.
I think its at least at JC2s level and maybe a bit better. Its no GTA IV, but I think that it does establish what I wanted: I understand the constraints of a video game and how to fit narrative into these types of frameworks.
And there is a payoff at the end even if you think the rest of this write up is boring.
