Yeah, he has what I would consider, a pretty moderate narrative bend to his campaign. Some of the questions he asked in Pt. 1, reminded me of a few other RPGs that I own, which have mechanics that focus on giving the characters something to follow other than just mindless loot/kill. In at least one of those systems, there are spots on the character sheet for Beliefs, Goals, and Instincts. Players earn more experience when role-playing those elements and sticking to them. They also start off with some background and history with aspects such as a Mentor, who has instructed the character, prior to being an "adventurer", in some school or profession, that gives benefits and experience for skills later on.
It also sounds like something from WFRP, as it has that grim-dark feel to it.

I prefer for the info he asked to (hopefully) develop organically over the course of play in campaigns I run. Definitely see why he point blank asked the background questions since the Reviled storyline was only going to last 3 or so episodes / sessions per the original plan.
