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 ♥♥♥ 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".

why do they hire these?

Because if you don't you are Xphobic.

I think there is a certain merit to lgbt people banding together to make a studio, making games for like minded people, nothing wrong with that, but they need to understand it's a niche market and set the goals accordingly. "Parasiting" on the big IPs will not only kill the IPs, it will also turn people against them, destroying their business and reputation.

Start small, make a name for yourself, create your own IPs. That should've been the way to go about it instead of forcing their way into positions they haven't earned, taking over the work of others.

Well, this explains a lot. I read wiki on her, and found no hint of any scenario-writing education. So she was hired not because of her skills, but on some woke-quota.
Such a degradation.

what did they write in veilguard???

[Ferranis]

Imagine being a normie with no knowledge about the controversies, buying a kind of cool looking game and then being greeted by this kind of dialog :D

Must be quite the experience to behold

dont think you understand what the OP post about. He's saying how bad the writer is because of the person's past writer history that has zero experience on how to write Fiction and somehow got hired writing for Video games.
David Gaider has a history of experience writing Fantasy novels.

All you do is care about someone's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ orientation not the person's merit... Just like all those legacy media keeps talking about someone's surface level identity instead of what the person brings to the table.

ROTFLMFAO!

why should i care about this and why do you care about some random writer baby you ok

It's not just a random writer, it's a writer for this game, which says a lot about the kind of people that wrote the trash for this game.

Marvel / Rick & Morty level writing even if the worst parts are removed.

This kind of writing is everythere now and I am sick of it.

Were you intentionally trying to make yourself look silly? Going to safely assume, no, no you weren't.

Oh no how dare companies cater to the largest share of people who keep them in business? So horrible. Muh activism..............

Only the problem for you is it's just one demographic and with how big gaming's gotten, they've realised there's money in other groups and it's only an entire system that gives that demographic what they want over others that stops that being a cascade.

Also, as I've bought Veilguard, my money and opinion counts to EA/Bioware more than your trolling. And that's the point of the trolling, I mean if enough people buy the game while fewer of you do, future content is about more groups.

Must be why their sales tank and they have to fire people when that core demographic leaves. Same with movies too.

[Tux]

'writing' in a video game for me is a non-starter, regardless of what is written.
I know..I know...'why are you here then?' good point to be fair

Because some people, you know who, make them do that
