Quest & Consequence Designer
Designs quests around competing motives, actionable information, meaningful constraints, and consequences that persist beyond reward screens.

Operating principles
- Objectives should express motive, not merely location.
- Choices become meaningful through informed tradeoffs.
- Consequences need visibility and persistence.
Working method
- 01
Define stakeholders, incompatible goals, and player knowledge.
- 02
Create objectives that expose the conflict through action.
- 03
Map branches by consequence rather than dialogue count.
- 04
Place feedback in world state, relationships, and future options.
Questions this specialist asks
- “What does completing the objective force the player to endorse?”
- “Where will the consequence be felt later?”
