Isn't that the dwarf from the Deep Roads? (the crazy one)

I'm waiting for an ultimate version of DA2 before buying it but I'll be preordering the collector's edition of ME3.

Don't be hating on my dwarf.

I don't play along with any of this preorder bullcrap on general principle, DA2 has nothing to do with it.

[Euno17]

I used to pre-order so many games but now I'm just wary of pretty much every game. The next Elder Scroll's game might be one of the few pre-orders (that and D3) but other then that I simply don't trust game companies like I used to.

Too bad Bioware fell off - Well actually in terms of money 'wasted' on games' it's good but it sucks when a company you once had complete faith in drops off the 'omg they are coming out with another game, I'm going to pre-order it' list.

I'll probably pre-order ME3

But what i want is the ultimate collectors edition trilogy

DELICIOUS

[TelexFerra]

I'm going to wait until I know what the pre-order bonuses are.

[TelexFerra]

The poll is trying to gage how the reception of DA2 has affected potential pre-orders of ME3.

I'll get ME3 off Steam since GameStop screwed me over. Whether or not I bother to pre-order depends on what deal they get.

[JKoopman]

The only way I'll pre-order Mass Effect 3 is if there's some really amazing pre-order bonus that I simply don't want to risk not having. Otherwise, pre-ordering in general is completely pointless. I guarantee Best Buy will have an entire display filled with copies regardless, and with the direction ME2 took the series (and Mac Walters now being the sole lead writer responsible for ME3), I'd rather adopt a wait and see attitude.

I'll wait to hear what the folks who thought ME2 was a let down have to say about ME3.

I never really got into DA, mods helped its replay value for me.

Wasn't he always the lead writer for Mass Effect?

Even if he isn't it's the same writing team through the whole series

Drew Karpyshyn was the lead writer for ME1. Drew and Mac teamed up as co-lead writers for ME2. Now Drew has moved on to work on Star Wars: TOR and Mac Walters is the only lead writer for ME3. Judging by some of the questionable story choices made for ME2 and the absolute lore attrocity that is ME: Genesis (written by Mac), Walters' helming the writing team for the pinnacle story of the series doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

What if some of the story choices in ME2 were Drews idea?

And didn't Mac lead write for LotSB?

I'll wait and see where ME3 is going. I'm actually more concerned in where it could be going due to ME2 than DA2. That said, while both games are done by different teams, I feel the (similar) problems that plagued both of these sequels is to do with BioWare's recent mentality and direction, so the issues are, IMO, linked. They're just too obsessed with mainstreamining their games lately and seeming to make them more for the non-RPG player to try and haul them in than for the existing fan.

Overall, we don't have enough info yet, and what we do have is a mixed bag. Some encouraging, some not so much, IMO. So given this, I think the poll needs another three options: I did/didn't like (or didn't play) DA2, but I'll wait and see where ME3 is going first.

It's the rEApers, I don't think Bioware would be doing this if they hadn't been bought out.

We don't know what parts of ME2's story were writen by Drew and which parts were writen by Mac. But if Drew was solely responsible for ME1 and I loved that story, and the only change in ME2 is that Mac was introduced as a co-lead writer then one can reasonably assume that the unfavorable bits are the result of Mac's input. Plus, Genesis pretty much reinforces that Mac's philosphy is style over substance and the rule of cool, which basically parallels everything that I find objectionable with ME2's story.

And no, Mac Walters actually had no involvement whatsoever with LotSB. Consequently, I actually found LotSB's story quite good. The relation doesn't escape me.

[InvaderErl]

Just going by the poll it doesn't really seem to have had an effect.

[naledgeborn]

Morrowind was freaking Epic, I think I was 14-15. I was still a console gamer. Ahh the good ol'e days of East Coast Rap and long ass RPGs.

While the science of these forum polls is flawed, the poll question is spot-on, TelexFerra.
