We’re always keeping an eye on Diablo IV jobs and a new one has just opened up at Blizzard. This week Blizzard is seeking a Narrative Designer and perhaps that could be you. Diablo 3’s dialogue was a real hit and miss affair so let’s hope they find the right person.
The Narrative Designer will be making sure the character tone is spot-on and it’s interesting they are stressing you would be working on the “dark gothic world of Diablo”. It sounds like they are steering away from Diablo 3’s narrative style. Let’s face it, some of the dialogue in Diablo 3 was not exactly stellar. Classics such as “let the games begin” from Maghda and “Look! More Hidden Footprints!” by the Enchantress. Those two were particularly bad.
Anyway, hopefully, none of that will appear in Diablo IV. Here’s a snip from the full job application and feel free to jump into our Diablo IV jobs monitoring thread in the forum.
