Carrie Talbot
Carrie is a former News Editor at PCGamesN, now a freelancer and writer based in the sunny UK. With a master’s in English Lit from Oxford, she has a special interest in dissecting narrative and characterisation, and exploring games’ unique powers for storytelling. She’s an RPG nut who’s never happier than when saving fantasy worlds, scorching foes with spells, and trekking virtual miles on her companions’ every whim. She’ll tell you just how many hundreds of hours she’s plugged into Baldur’s Gate 3, Divinity: Original Sin 2, The Witcher 3, and Skyrim if you ask really nicely. Also a Fable obsessive, so only mention it if you *really* want to lose a few hours of your own.
