Larian Studios is dedicated to creating best-in-class role-playing games. As we move on to new projects, the studio that brought you Baldur’s Gate 3 & Divinity: Original Sin 2 is looking for a Writer to join the team and help continue to craft high quality games.

Location: Warsaw. On-site. Full-time.

At Larian, a Writer is not just a dialogue writer, but a storyteller, a scene designer, a collaborator, and at heart - a player. They work closely with other creatives to deliver the breadth and richness of agency that we want to experience in games, and to give players the choices that make them ask “Are they really going to allow me to do that?!” Only to discover that not only did we allow it, we built a whole alternative story path out of it.

Responsibilities:

• Write and test complex branching dialogues that have player agency throughout and fulfill the narrative requirements set by Design, Writing, and Narrative Leads and Directors.
• Create memorable and unique characters that are emotionally engaging to interact with, and fit the tone of the project.
• Deliver shippable dialogue that meets the standard set by the Writing Director and Creative Director with minimal rounds of feedback and minimal intervention.
• Collaborate with other teams on the design and execution of situations with a focus on advocating for storytelling and character.
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and track dialogues as they move through the pipeline, communicating regularly with other teams to find solutions for dialogue issues and content needs.
• Write texts for in-game non-dialogue elements, including tooltips, item descriptions, journal entries, UI elements, and other ancillary texts.
• Liaise with other teams to answer questions regarding dialogue and story elements.
• Perform additional creative tasks required to support the storytelling of the project as appropriate.

Requirements:

• Able to work in English (not required to be a native speaker).
• Exceptional writer who can demonstrate skills through past experience and/or a skills test.
• Passionate about storytelling in games and prioritizes player experience.
• Experience working in a production or deadline-driven environment.
• Proactive about seeking feedback, critically evaluates own work, and continuously improves craft.
• Able to write a range of interesting and believable characters and find unexpected angles in their stories.
• Collaborative and able to work well with others.
• Experience pitching ideas to others.

What We Offer:

• An international team of over 500 employees across 7 studios around the world, each maintaining a small-studio feel.
• An open, collaborative environment where ideas are welcome and encouraged.
• A managerial team of highly experienced game developers.
• Opportunities to share hobbies and passions with like-minded colleagues.
• An inclusive environment with many studio- or employee-organized activities.
• Commitment to making the best game possible for the fans, including listening to community feedback.
