i just stumbled upon Sheri Graner Ray's old livejournal entries that document some of the days in which she worked at Origin Systems in the 90s. some of the anecdotes are gold... this one, from the Ultima VII development period:

“Spark... the little boy in Trinisic who follows you around in the beginning of Ultima VII was written by Raymond Benson and based on his son. The idea was cute, but the character got annoying really fast.. particularly for the testers. They would regularly dress him in a dress and then starve him to death until he became a ghost following you around."
