—writing for lore, cinematics and dialogue is the bare minimum IMO. it's easier to find opportunities if you have a base-level understanding across quest, missions, implementation and more technical narrative design. What a scriptwriter in film does, is standard. What a game writer does is not.

Really, the problem you're describing is one the big studios have invented for themselves. They have increased their own risk on every film with the kind of spending these people are used to nowadays.
