Here is Laura's history of books. Let's take a look at what sort of author is perfect for Bioware these days.

]"Dale has published five books. Her first book is Things I Learned from Mario's Butt: A Series of Gaming Butt Critiques, which was funded on the crowdfunding website Unbound in 2018.[3][4]"

"Her second book, a memoir called Uncomfortable Labels: My Life as a Gay Autistic Trans Woman, was published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in 2019.[14]"

"Her third book, Gender Euphoria: Stories of Joy from Trans, Non-Binary and Intersex Writers, which was crowdfunded through Unbound and exceeded its funding goal, was published in 2021.[15] It was intended as a counterpoint to the focus so often placed on the negative aspects of being trans, such as gender dysphoria, and was instead written "to show the world the sheer variety of ways being non cisgender can be a beautiful, joyful experience"."

"Dale's fourth book, Who Hunts the Whale, is co-written by her wife Jane Magnet, and being funded through the crowdfunding publisher Unbound.[16] Who Hunts the Whale is Dale's first work of fiction. The website summary reads, "Who Hunts the Whale is a completely fictional, entirely made-up novel set in the imaginary world of the video gaming industry. Written with a gamer's wit and an insider's precision, it holds the real-world business up to a carnival house of mirrors, to give a satirical look at the human cost of a rapacious market that must constantly be fed new content."[16]"

"Dale's fifth book, Me and My Dysphoria Monster, is an children's picture book about the experiences of gender dysphoria in childhood. The book was illustrated by Ang Hui Qing, and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in August 2022.[17]"

Edit: a clip of the sample of the writing and what to expect in the game. This is most likely a cutscene after the player joins a faction called "The Lords of Fortune".

[Poop Fanatic 7]

Sounds like a low level sociopath

>my life as a gay autistic trans woman

These are the people making your games now hahahah

[Ziegfried]

That explains quite a bit, bloody hell dude.

[pr1mus]

i believe this is the one that called Persona 5's Smash DLC racist because of a song lyric or something.

"Uncomfortable Labels: My Life as a Gay Autistic Trans Woman" is a south park joke, it can't be real, or can it? :D

[GM Morgan]

Okay, so one of the writers on a game is a published author. Why should that bother me?

[Sneeding Raccoon]

Isn't that the guy that works with Jim Sterling?

[Elvi]

That's nice and all, but what does it have to do with video game writing?
Also don't look up a picture of this person. There are only so many stereotypes one can take before stoping to take anything seriously.

I added a clip so you can be better informed on the type of writing you should expect in the game.

Misunderstand me correctly, I'm saying that person should not be writing games and should stick to activism. Alas, activism is what gets you into eriter teams nowdays so... eh.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Good reading comprehension.

All good, probably would have had someone asking for an example anyways.
