How exactly does an OpenGL programmer impact a game? Use Tribe 2 as an example. What does the OpenGL programmer do in such a game...particle effects, decals?

OpenGl programmers have a big impact on the industry. They can do anything such as loading objects to a screen or coding the game such as Robert Duffy of id software does with the quake series which is an OpenGl game. They only use Direct audio and forgot what else but thats basically what they can do.
