Yes, she was.
Also, co-writer might be a little too generous. The ideas we know he presented forward didn't make it into the final game. I like Druckmann, I think he is talented/ good at what he does. The man deserves the acclaim for TLoU. That said I'm sick of hearing this retroactive rhetoric that somehow has Hennig unaffiliated with UC2. It really comes off disrespectful. People make it sound like she never worked on the game and that's just simply not true.
Right but I'd like to know exactly who did what. Honestly, I'm the first one to believe that Hennig is "overrated" but not because I'm biased, I just don't know what was her role. With Legacy of Kain she did such a great job but Jak and Daxter is.. damn, I can save the first but after that they lost a vision, I completely agree with Straley when he talks about these games in the interview for the 30th Anniversary. And then Uncharted, I credit her for the writing of the characters, the first game was also decent gameplay wise but at the same time I can't help but notice how much the game improved with Straley (and Druckmann, but mostly Straley) as Director and how much the game got worse in pace when these 2 guys were moved to TLOU (that guess what, it also has a great pace).
Pace, something someone nailed back with Uncharted 2 and was lost with Uncharted 3, why such a back step, what was the problem, deadline? Unforeseen?
You seem to like a lot ND, LastNac, do you have anything that could help? Interviews, articles..?
