I wonder if the Biowarians are proud of us for sticking together and fighting for a cause we believe in.

I sure hope so. We're sticking up for a universe they created.

Damn straight. We wouldn't be burning books and slandering this thing if we didn't LOVE what Bioware gave us back in 2007 through to now.

Indeed. BioWare was pretty much the single reason I started gaming again. And this thread was the cause for my first post since I registered in 2010. They should really know better.

My friend Raf is a lurker. Hell, he only had 3 views on his profile and he joined the BSN three months after me.

He never posts.

Yet he came here and told us the story of his autistic sister and how that affected his view on this ridding of autism in the story.

Its amazing what this thread caused.

Well, I'm getting this load of Dietz at midnight (or whenever it releases in iTunes books). I'm excited, in a completely masochistic way.

*puts hand on your shoulder*

*shakes head*

It's okay.  Somebody needs to find the errors.  

Good point.

You get a royal cookie for taking one for the team.

It'll vastly increase when people get their hands on their copies of this travesty made up of dead trees and ink.

Stop it, its too awesome to be used in the context of Deception.

Due to a huge amount of replies occurring while I was typing, I figured it would be best if I reposted this in order to not invalidate my original post.

I do agree with you that ME so far (except for this abomination) has
been quite a thrill, and I like it a lot. I would say this is due to a
lot of heart and soul poured into the production of the games on the ME
team's part, and I really want to congratulate and I really want to
praise everyone involved for their efforts. This "novel" is just
unworthy of the amount of dedication and energy that went into this
franchise so far.

I hope this thread will lead them to realize this, and to either update the novel according to the standards which were set by Drew before (which were not very high, but decent in every way and I personally liked having more backstory a lot!), or remove it from the canon ME universe entirely (seriously, 2 novels of character buildup and then this? (Why would you invalidate the previous novel's developments in such a way? WHY?))

(And yes, I did nest brackets. Programming may do that to you, too.)

Let me try again:

Ascension takes place two months after ME1. This is explicitely stated in the book.

and according to Deception:

Deception takes place two years after ME1.

Deception also takes place 6 years after Ascension

This is the irreconcilable problem.

I'm waiting for the countdown to end  (and I'd like it if they got into the OP...just sayin'  )

[Iohanna]

I wasn't very active here either. I lurk from time to time. I'm posting more since I took over the job of making the banners for the Known Features Thread. But now I have such wonderful people to chat with! Even if it's just about Deception!

The truth is I couldn't let this just pass by. As a writer and a fan of BioWare in general, I want them to have better standards about this. Call it though love, but I'd be doing worse for simply ignoring it.

So Shepard has nothing to worry about, right? I mean, he's only a 6.

Heh.

My farts ar...no, I have royal farts, they are SO far beyond being above Deception.

[Balmung31]

I'd say this kind of reaction is going to be very common when the news of this book becomes mainstream. 

(Go to 5:27 for the reaction, and substitute Dietz for Tidus and book for game)

What about the WNBA? Is that for The Fan to decide?

[Tokion]

What is BSN? I see that acronym everywhere and google searches indicates something about body building.... o_O

Suddenly I'm getting quoted on things I posted hours ago. I'm like a celebrity or something.
