I don't see much of a difference between the quality of writing of Deception and ME3's script.

To be sure, this **** is around the level of Vega's dialogue and voice acting but otherwise you're just a hater.

Or at least it should be.


Since it is being marketed and sold as one.

1. The script was a completely random compilation of story events
2. Bioware isn't retarded enough to write anything that bad
3. The script os rather old, while it most likely does represent the majority of the story, the game might have some minor changes or rearrangements
4. GTFO

Barnes & Noble seems to take forever to update their star ratings.

Maybe this was Bioware's way of making us appreciate their storytelling ability. They hire someone to deliberately ruin something we all know and love. Then the main body swoops in with ME3 saying "Look, look at this beautiful thing we made for you."

And because ME3 will be better than anything Dietz could come up with by far, we'll be all sparkly eyed and all "oh Bioware, we knew you loved us! :wub:"

At this point I find it entertaining to load up the Errors pages just to see how many more glaring errors are in the book. Each time it seems that 4 or 5 more are added. How long until it breaks the century mark?

Moral of the story: Wait, you actually read the story to the end? What's wrong with you!


The moral of the story is: Biotic teenagers are really stupid.


Moral of the story: Sorry for wasting your time and money, but thanks for your money.

or

don't buy video gaming novels

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. I consider this an isolated incident in stupidity.

This is BioWare's fault in the first place.

Yeah.... I was already set to love ME3 before and still, I really didn't need them to throw this crap in my face first before they release it. <_<


EDIT: wellactually12, let's avoid politically-sensitive posts, shall we?

How many news reports will it take for Bioware to acknowledge this travesty? Kotaku did well kicking things off

Good job keeping with your own canon, guys, way to keep it classy. :/

Oooh, we're self-plugging now? (giggity!)


Gabby and Ken: the top-quality romcom you've all been waiting for!

Grunt and Zaeed: Gabby and Ken spinoff, with a darker tone

Torfan: my first and darkest fic

Rise to Power: daring and gritty Dragon Age 2 novelisation

...Whew!


So, on topic: this book sure does suck

Dietz apparently thinks that since everybody refers to Shepard as Shepard, everybody else is refered to by last name as well.

I'm surprised he didn't refer to Kahlee as "Sanders" the entire time.

I know..

I half expect them to just start doing it in the council chambers or somewhere like that

However, if we get to see her in ME3 and she's hot. I fully understand Anderson's actions.

I added my B&N review too.

I literally signed on this profile after so many inactive years just to get in on this action.
