They did not improve the writing

The second game was filled with "moral choices" that were very clearly designed to fuck with you, the very first one being "Do you betray the mercenary who helped you?"

If you betray him, he dies, you get a cutscene where his family is sad at his funeral

If you don't betray him, he takes his money, abandons his family and goes to Tahiti where he's sipping a Mai Tai on the beach when a frog man comes out of the water and shoots him

They only got weirder from there
