Miranda has the whole 'I'm perfect' thing going for her. That might have something to do with it. But this Gillian thing is just inexcusable. 

Its not the fact that she looks young but she is too old to actually be genetically engineered to have enhanced biotic abilities. That would have had to happen before Humans actually knew much of anything about biotics.

Post op enhancements?  Isn't that how they explained a ME1 soldier Shep becoming an Adept in ME2?  She could have been given a L5 implant or whatever at anytime.

She seemed to really imply that part of her Genetic enhancements were biotics. Miranda states those as one of her enhancements given at birth. L5 implants were made after she left her father and any other extra implant wouldn't be enough of an enhancement to be given to her that would put her above most human biotics.

Holy god, this is hard to read.

Oh... right. Didn't know that. It's still a more understandable screw up than Gillian's age. 

Its more understandable I guess since its less noticeable. I didn't even notice it until didymos metioned it.

The Spacer background is kind of random, especially since my Shepard is a colonist. I guess several liberties have to be taken when writing the novels. /shrug

Discrepancies like that are in all of the novels. I mainly like to read them because of the insight they give on random things, and not how accurate it is to a story that has dozens of different variables.

For example, it gives a point of view directly from the Illusive man... That is very valuable for me to read even if Udina is trolling and saying I am a spacer. The games don't show a point of view from the Illusive Man.

You don't know that, it was never said.

Hmm, asari Council member. I guess this isn't in the "Human Council" canon.

just dont read the books or comics. just ignore them and pretend they don't exist. they always try to retcon the lore, or force a canon storyline (like this whole council fiasco).

its poor writing. simple as that.

erm, no.

MINOR SPOILERS FOR ME3

If the council died in ME1, they are simply replaced with another council which still is made up of Asari, Salarian, Turian (and Human).
BioWare's MASSIVE consequences == Replace NPC X with NPC Y

END SPOILERS.

I would complain about Gillian having her helmet off in a Quarian locker room. You'd think they'd want to have her separated from others while helmets are removed.

ok so i read up till the gillian part and stopped because i want to read it when i buy it.

i had my fear about this not being good but i like what i read so far. is it perfect? no but allways remember theres no such thing as books, movies, games, even comics being 100% perfect
every time they release a new one.

yeah well you know the expanded universe of Mass Effect ain't really all that big and hard to keep track of, Even the most docile fan can spot these inconsistencies at a glance and a capable editor would have spotted them from miles away.

It's really just laziness and not giving a s*** from Biowares side.

Had to end it with a cliffhanger and kept me hangin well I was goig to buy it when it came out anyway lol

all i can say is it is what it is and i love scifi.

you cant really expect something to continue being 100% perfect even if it does have some nit pickey faults and i admit i have a few of my own but in the end it still fills that gap in me before the game is out


look at the original star wars trilogy for example. everyone agrees esb is the best one out of that and jedi is the one where people are like ok it was good but it had its issues so in the end it was more of a filler movie to please the fans.

thats how i look at me2 as a game. is it great story wise regarding the collectors and human colonies? no but filler wise for fans getting to know the crew is what was great wich imo made up for the lack of story.


everything will have it's pro and cons and im pretty sure when me3 drops march 6th people are going to be split 50/50 on if they loved it or hated it

If the Quarians were having a 16 year old take part in boarding actions and then go off with some Cerberus guy (isn't he a bit casual in mentioning that on a Quarian ship?) it would raise a few eyebrows.

I love sci-fi as well but seriously there are faults and there are FAULTS.
Some are excusable and some aren't, The Fact that Dietz couldn't be bothered to look up Gillian's age might be excusable to some, But it is completely inexcusable that whoever proofread this at Bioware didn't pick it up, Just because it's sci-fi doesn't mean it should be trash.

[Klijpope]

I've ordered it and will probably read it, but the writing is truly appalling. Had real trouble getting past the first sentence.

I find myself reading it in the voice Steve Coogan used in the Day Today sketch at the swimming pool, where "nobody died..." (which is a bit like an Elcor without the intonation statements).

did you read the full book yet? if not than how can you say its 100% pure trash?

i do agree with you on the gillian age thing but other than that the stuff about kai ling and tim was great

heck even though whole thing of anderson and kaylee was awesome.

allways remember this guy couldve just went into writting the book without even reading the last 3 and i respect what i read so far because its in continuity instead of just some full 360 wth moment.

and heres the gods honest truth. if people ( not just you) always nit pick everything than in the end there going to end up hating everything in the longrun

Hey, did you know Tantalus drive cores are standard equipment now? Even old batarian slaver vessels have 'em.

So... the Batarian ship has a "standard Tantalus drive core"... So after 6 years, the cutting-edge, classified, experimental drive core used in the Normandy is now standard and even used in Batarian ships. Fair enough I suppose.

EDIT:  Woah that's creepy, Didymos - ninja'd

yeah 6 years after the blackbird flew for the first time all civil airliners had ramjets.

It shepard can do it than Kai leng can.It just means his implants arn't metalic.

Now that was one I did come across that really annoyed me. By ME2 the Normandy only has a couple of sister ships thats it. I seriously doubt there would be a standard model Tantalus drive core.

I'm confused. How can blood and guts get sucked out, yet mass effect feels can make a body fall down hard to the ground, within the same room?
