If you want to see the difference between Dietz and Karpyshyn, just read the part where Gillian loses it in the cafeteria in Ascension, then compare it to the way any random usage of biotics is described in Deception. The difference is pretty damn immense.


That would force me to read any part of Deception again. I'd happily go to Ascension though.

NO.

Again, await Tuesday. It'll be Tuesday on the East Coast of America in about 8 hours.

Just put a spoiler warning or something in the topic.

Won't hurt anybody.

I think at best - Gillian could end up like this person.  So yeah, as an adult she might be able to communicate with others pretty well because she's learnt how to, but she's probably still going to think primarily as an autistic person.  So any part of Deception that takes place from her POV should still be written in a similar way to what was there in Retribution.

To be fair, the drugs Cerberus were giving her might have made her Autistic like, and only have being off the drugs for years did she suddenly change.

But from what I understand, the book didn't go in this direction.

Uh uh. Not yet. Minor spoilers are fine, but if we're talking big ones, that's a no-no for those who actually DO want to read the novel.

Mass Effect: Redundancy by William C. Dietz

Commander "Deadeye" Lee stepped out of the six wheeled Tantalus-class Taxi before it raced off at relativistic speeds of 250000 s/K per C. The Commender, being a M7 Marine, looked around to check for quarian spys.

"Damn gas breathing, no face havin' beggars" he muttered to himself.

to be continued...

So I just read the mistake list and it just doesn't seem possible to screw up this badly. This isn't some massive trolling attempt spearheaded by LPPrince, is it? If so, well played LPPrince, well played!

Well, I would believe that if it wasn't the excerpt I can read myself. Before this thread, since the first pages when i saw Kai leng, human, Karshan, I was already, what. the. hell. ? :lol:

I was uncomfortable, but I just thought there would be an explanation. But no, Kai, blows up everything and that's it. :D

When asked whether they'll get Deception and future ME novels...

Dylia wrote...

No, and I won't be buying another ME novel unless it is written by Drew Karpyshyn.

I'm spearheading this whole movement to disavow the damn thing because its whats best for the Mass Effect franchise.

Hell, the wikia guys are SWEATING. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO.

For now, just wait till the book is "officially" released - we don't want to create any reason for this thread to get locked (especially since that's how the previous one died).

I'm also hoping that they decide to keep this thread as the official Deception thread, but guess we'll find out within the next day.:?

Something to  possible erros - Grayson transformation
In Retribution is Grayson infected by selfreplicating nanites send in his head, immediatelly become unconcious and nanites then change his body, when he was lockdwon and isolated. Unfortunatelly I haven't this part in English so I can't quote it.
In Deception is proces described like this:


       The air at the center of the chamber shimmered, a picture took shape, and Grayson began to scream. His body was naked, he had been strapped to some sort of framework, and his skin had a grayish tint. Open incisions could be seen on his legs. And as he screamed, thin snake-like cables could be seen entering his body, apparently of their volition.
And, as the camera zoomed out, people wearing lab coats could be seen. "No!" Grayson said, as his eyes flicked from face to face. "For the love of god stop them. I'll do anything... Anything you want. Don't let them do this to me."
But rather than stop the process the onlookers took notes as the cable things squirmed under the surface of Grayson's skin, dimly seen lights appeared under his epidermis, and the cords in his neck stood out. "Kill meeeee," Grayson whimpered. "Please kill me," but no one did


Big nanites....



Okay, that one is confirmed. Quote from Retribution, page 81:
"Grayson ... He tried to turn his head from side to side to get a sense of his surroundings, but it, too, was anchored in place. A strap under his chin kept his jaw clamped tightly shut; he couldn't even open his mouth to cry out for help."

Obviously they shouldn't read the spoiler thread then there.


But people may do as they wish.

This better be the official Deception thread.

No sense in getting rid of what'll end up a 200+ page thread.

This is PUBLICITY.

We've said this before. He makes one reference, calling her an "unstable twelve year old". Then never mentions it again. If he had taken just a moment to explain it, he'd get a lot of credit for it. But he doesn't. He just pretends it never existed.
