Brandon Adler, game director, The Outer Worlds 2.

Brandon Adler is an American game director and producer whose career has been defined by his work on some of Obsidian Entertainment ’s most acclaimed role-playing games. After serving in Iraq with the U.S. Air Force , my guest studied Game Art & Design at The Art Institute of California . He joined Obsidian as a tester for Neverwinter Nights 2 before working his way up through various disciplines on games such as South Park: The Stick of Truth , Fallout: New Vegas , and Pillars of Eternity . Known for his meticulous attention to world-building and player choice, he has helped uphold Obsidian’s reputation for crafting richly written, deeply reactive RPGs. And now, as game director on The Outer Worlds 2 , he’s leading the studio’s next ambitious chapter in interstellar satire and storytelling.
