My name is Carrie Patel, and I’m the author of The Buried Life, a science fantasy mystery set in the underground city of Recoletta, and Cities and Thrones, the sequel.

Narrative Co-Lead for Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire. Senior narrative Designer for The Outer Worlds. Game Director for Peril on Gorgon DLC for The Outer Worlds.

Carrie Patel was in charge of both of the Pillars of Eternity 1 DLCs and The Outer Worlds DLC. I'm unsure how much of PoE2 she's written but she was co-writing with other writers, wasn't just her. You can tell a lot about a writer by how they handle humor. Her writing style favors subtlety and cynicism imo. But in good ways.

Carrie Patel was number 2 on Deadfire. Other than Josh Sawyer, she’s the most qualified to lead Avowed.
