Man i wish they would bring Drew back as lead writer for ME3.

Totally agree, Mac Walters really went off the barren road with ME2. After what I've seen of ME3, I am not even considering it to be semi-realistic anymore, they might as well add magic.

Drew was still a lead until about halfway through ME2's development.  And, for the nth time, the lead writer does not get to decide everything.  Casey Hudson and Preston Watamaniuk are heavily involved in decisions involving the main plot of the games, and both of them are higher up on the dev food chain than the lead writer.

Nicely worded question, Aris!

[IronSabbath88]

Yeah, nice job getting the question answered. The rest were pretty bogus.

That still doesn't change the fact that ME2 story was garbage compared to ME1.
I bet if Drew was writer for ME3,  we would never recieve "Cerberus being indoctrinated" plot.

Continuation of the romance arcs I think, can't remember it word for word.

Thank you! I'm embarrassed how happy I was when I heard them ask my question. Especially since they got my username right instead of calling me 'Eric'.

EDIT: I asked how it felt to wrap up relationships and character arcs that have been building for three installments.

OMG That's the question they chose as the last one? A job request? >.>

[R3MUS]

Boring questions.... as usual.... oh boy... I'm glad i am not sitting and waiting for things to happen.

I dont even think there have been any new great news at all during this Comic-Con.

And you know that that was Mac Walters' idea how?  Could have been Casey's or Preston's.  Those two are part of coming up with the main story for the games.  Before development even starts, the Lead Writer, Casey Hudson, and Preston Watamaniuk (Lead Designer) work out what the actual plot is for the game.  Then the rest of the writing team gives feedback on what those three come up with. 

Also: it's still not confirmed that Cerberus really is indoctrinated.  We have one line from Shep in a demo level.  How do you know Shep is correct? What if Shep's just assuming that because it's the obvious answer?  Why has Casey been making such a big deal about how we'll be figuring out what's really going on with TIM and Cerberus if they're just giving us the answer in the demo they've been showing everywhere?

Sounds like I didn't miss much...

[IronSabbath88]

Hmm.. so apparently there will be another Mass Effect 3 specific Q&A period at 5 PM PST. Perhaps we will see more there... and maybe the Vanguard/Infiltrator/Engineer playthroughs.. one can hope anyway.

Ah that one, yes well done I must say and also glad they picked it

Anyway there will be a Q&A with Casey Hudson in 3 hours time, seems he will be answering more ME questions...

[RocketManSR2]

A novel about Darth Revan by Drew was pretty awesome news. I hadn't heard about that.

I thought it was a rather enlightening panel on the creative process that all Bioware writers go through and gives me, as a player, a stronger appreciation for the writing and the hard work those guys put into the games.

Well it's six now, and BioWare TV is covering ****ing Dragon Age Legacy

San Diego is in the PST time zone, all times on the schedule follow this pattern. If you miss something, you can always it again later.

Agreed. Even though it didn't sate my lust for new ME3 info, it was interesting to hear about how things work behind the scenes.

I fear the Casey Hudson Q&A won't be much more enlightening. The guy has a master's degree in saying things without saying things.

Again? Jeez, they should just put some time aside to do one big Q&A and be done with it.

Or "I can't answer that right now." with a big cheeky grin
