It's simple. Occasionally one must test their audience to see if they are still paying attention to what they are being sold.

The mass effect audience is still paying attention.

They just need to say "Yeah, we did a big whoopsie on this one and it won't happen again. Ignore it's existence. Sorry people. Have some... free.... stuff..."

Okay, where can I buy this? I MUST read this novel.

You WOULD want to read this, bobobo.
-your nearest bookstore or online retailer of novels.
Also any nearby trash bins, but only if you know nearby Mass Effect fans who disapprove of lore breaks.

Sweet, maybe I can find someone on this site who hated it enough to give me their copy!


 I doubt that even with all the rage going on, none'll have the heart to do that.

 Also, current fail-to-page ratio is now at a outstanding : 4.7 phails / page. Keep up the good work guys/gals !
 I propose the introduction of the Dietz scale of literary proficiency, where 0.0 = grand work of art and 1.0 = ME: Deception (or 1 Dietz)

A brain dead monkey would notice this massive pile of crap...right before he threw it at Dietz...

Okay, I've only read three paragraphs so far, but I already feel like I'm picking up on how to write like this.

"Kai Leng was walking down the Las Vegas strip, when suddenly he suddenly came to the realization that he didn't like walking down the streets of Las Vegas strip. It wasn't just the tacky looking theme casinos, the homeless people living in the storm drains, or the immigrants on the sidewalks handing out strip club brochures, which were pornographic in nature, meaning they show bare breasts. He hated the people themselves because they did not follow the same religion as him, following religions other than his own or no religion at all. This made him not only a bigot, but a religious person."

ok so 336 pages and mistakes are up to what 72 so far with 2 more posable so on avg works out to about a mistake or lore error aobut every 4.5 to 4.6 pages and we still dont have all the errors listed yet.


That's just sad :crying:

I am terribly paranoid of my own writing. I keep going over it to make sure things are as consistent as possible. If I see a mistake, I correct it, because I want the readers to enjoy reading the story as much as I did writing it...

:o Dietz must have hated writing this thing!

Well, I sent Mac Walters a tweet asking about Deception's exact place in the timeline so that last error up in the air can hopefully be confirmed. I'm sure it's got to be confirmed, there are so many things that point to after ME2. Then again, this being Deception. >.>

I'll tell you when he tweets unless I'm asleep by then. Throw my name on the list of contributors if true because I can't edit the damn doc due to y'all using it too.


I sent pm to Jeff Zero to add you also in the OP contributors list.

Always good when the fanbase pays attention, ya know. It's a shame when things like this slip under the radar because no one cares anymore.

You'd be surprised what you can sell a sleeping audience, I think!

Thats because Twilight was catered to the people who would eat it up.

Deception was catered to people too intelligent and mentally strong to give in.

How often do you see this massive level of fail? seriously? If there is ANYTHING left of the old Bioware...ANYTHING AT ALL....we can at least HOPE SOMETHING is done about it.

Not even a 1000 year old Krogan battlemaster can handle this.
