Chris Avellone is an American computer game designer and writer. He was a core designer at Black Isle Studios, and is well-known for his work on Fallout 2 and Icewind Dale, but is best known as the lead designer of Planescape: Torment. When the studio closed off, Avellone and a few ex-members of Black Isle founded a new game studio: Obsidian Entertainment. There, he worked as lead designer on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, before leaving in 2015 to follow a game writing freelance career. Since then, he worked on several projects with various studios, including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order with Respawn Entertainment.
==Biography==
Following the closure of Interplay Entertainment, where he worked as lead designer, Chris Avellone co-founded Obsidian Entertainment with former Interplay employees. Their first commercial project was the Star Wars role-playing game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, for which he acted as the lead designer. He is also responsible for a major part of its writing, including most of the companions.
He later worked on a short comic, "Unseen, Unheard," published in Star Wars Tales 24, and several Clone Wars Adventures stories.
More than a decade after the release of Knights of the Old Republic II, Avellone returned to the Star Wars universe as a writer on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
