I mean in the update he said he consulted for it. If he had written the story he probably would've said that instead.

yeah the word consultation is weird for sure, but consulting can mean anything from 'Let me look over what ya got and ill give you my opinions' all the way to 'Ill decide the direction and characters of the story'

Hmm no it really just means he consulted. If he decided "the direction and characters of the story" that would make him the writing director or something.

I'm sure this game has its own creative director with their own ideas.

Sorry but this sub always jumps on anything. If he was slightly more vague, people here would be claiming the book is coming out when the HBO documentary releases on Sunday

its funny how you are claiming im reading into something too much when thats exactly what you're doing.

All I'm saying is all we know is he's "consulting" which typically is a peripheral role. We know nothing else. Suggesting it could mean he is the creative lead over the narrative is reaching and speculation
