18 pages and people are still complaining?

I'm going to buy this book, read it, and enjoy it!

Still complaining? It's hard to find anything to enjoy here. Good luck doing so. I wish I could just decide to enjoy something terrible.

Except it for what it is, enjoy it, critique it, and be done with it.

...Yeah I think I'm just going to go ahead and write this book off as non-canon.

Or fire it out of a cannon.

That too, I mean I have mixed feelings about the Mass Effect novels and their occasional "what" moments like super-husks dual wielding assault rifles and running faster then krogan, but THIS. This looks like it was written by someone  who knew a bunch of ME words but had no idea of what they meant, and also hated Mass Effect and was trying to discredit the series.

I'd rather Embrace Eternity then to attempt to read any more of this novel.

Yes, that's what happens when someone writes a book in an established universe and can't be bothered to get even basic facts right.  Like, say, what actually happened in the first game?

Well, if you don't actually give a crap about the setting, maybe you will.

Like it or not, this book is going to be part of the universe. Just turn your brain off and get the main story from it.

No. It's just very poorly written. We're not talking a couple minor errors here.  He's constantly getting basic ME stuff wrong.

Yeah normally I'm not one to complain but Deception is a trully awful book that doesn't know it's setting at all.

Discussing in boring detail the quality of a piece of fiction is really not all that dramatic.

Really? Because the only major hole right now is Gillian's age, which can be easily reteconned. Everything else is a non-issue.

Bad Writings a non-issue then

[ArkkAngel007]

Most of us have said that we will still read it, despite the lack of quality and editing. It's just odd how a bunch of simple facts of a franchise you are tasked to write a narrative on and can be so easily accessed are just wrong.

Plus with the calm between news dumps, how else are we to spend our time on here? I for one prefer this over the Cerberus debates and romance discussions.

Yeah, the holes are fun to point out, but it's the terrible quality of the writing that bothers me the most.

[Hedera]

Oh, god. And I thought his 'rendition' of Halo 1 was bad. Even when it isn't a shooter game thrown on paper, this guy can't write.

Dude: he doesn't even know how the first game ended. He thinks the Citadel trap was a success.

You either did not read the preview carefully or your just a raging fanboy.  Here is another hole for ya, how the heck did Kai Leng who had an injured leg and needed a cane to walk (which he did not have) make a great escape out of an auction room full of other aliens and two security guards? and a bioweapon that specifically took out the Illusive man and Cerberus personal? PLEASE!

Like I said, Deception looks like it's going to be one giant troll against the fans (and Bioware for that matter)

I literally self-identify as a raging fanboy, and I think this thing is horrible.

[didymos1120]

The quarians were a nomadic race who were typically a bit smaller than the average human. As was typical for his kind, the petitioner was dressed in a motley collection of clothing, held together by a variety of straps and metal fasteners. His face was obscured by a reflective visor and breathing apparatus.

No, that's not typical for his kind. They wear entirely sealed environmental suits. Thought to be fair, I don't know if this is just a really bad description of one of their suits or a mistake. Either way...

F*ck you, that's how.
