Felicia Day Is Just What Gaming Needs

Kotaku: As I watched Felicia Day interact with a video game version of herself, I was struck by the degree of existential weirdness that was going on in front of me. What must it be like to come face to face with a pre-recorded, interactive version of yourself? I tried to imagine having a branching, BioWare-style conversation with my own video game doppelgänger and couldn’t quite make the leap. Would I be aggressive? Kind? Flirty? Would I push my on-screen likeness around just to see what happened?

I soon realised I was seeing something else as well — here was a talented writer, musician, and actor getting a substantial taste of the world of video game development, watching as her longstanding views on the power of interactive fantasy were spun into a new kind of reality. Gaming needs people with fresh artistic perspectives, people who bring a wealth of game and non-game influences to bear on their work, who can push the form in interesting new directions while still respecting the traditions that have led it to this point.

Lots of good options. Batman and Joker are both great in the Arkham Games, Geralt if fantastic in the Witcher 3, so is Ciri, Fem-Shep in Mass Effect Trilogy, Nathan Drake.

My Favourite Game: Felicia Day

Gamesradar:
Felicia Day is a serial overachiever, the kind of person you might resent if she didn’t have such a disarmingly likeable manner.
