Bioware dun goofed hardcore.


You know you don't need to make a new post every time you want to reply to somebody... surely combining a bunch of replies or comments in one would  be better. 


When this forum gets a multi-quote button, I'll do just that.

The Amazon 3* review says he's not a hack and claims the only things wrong with it are the quality of writing and it being rushed. When you take into account that (s)he probably wouldn't see lore inconsistencies, all becomes clear.


Yeah, I imagine that reviewer has no idea about the sheer amount of lore inconsistencies.

That would easily drop it from a 1/5 to a "too bad to rate".

They're honest about their disgust for Deception?

I'm still hoping between this and the leaked script - its BioWare pulling off the ultimate troll so everyone is blown away by the end quality of ME3.


Heh, I BETTER be blown away by ME3. Bioware's looking bad right now in the eyes of many.

Hope they can salvage some good from this wreckage.


Yeah, I've noticed a bit of an increase where Deception discussions are brought up of people being concerned about ME3.

It will be interesting to see if they just ignore this, or if they ramp up some kind of marketing that pushes lore consistency in ME3.

Not to mention that was pretty much obvious since early release info about ME3 - or at the very least something along those lines.


Generally speaking, yeah.

Biggest point being Leng's surgery. Guess they wanted to introduce that here to explain why he wouldn't be just a normal human in ME3.

Bioware HAS to currently be discussing damage control and quality assurance.

Otherwise they wouldn't be so tight lipped right now.

As if they didn't already have their work cut out for them with ME3.  Now they've got this to contend with.

They could've done it without killing three characters. 

If all Deception did was have Anderson and Kahlee screwing a few times, and show us that Cerberus soldiers are being fitted with Reaper tech in ME3, it's... gah, I don't even know.

This couldn't of happened at a worse time.

They're supposed to be ramping up their advertising for ME3, and then something big like this happens?

Not good. Not good at all.

If I see the term 'Roly-Poly' applied to a Volus in canonical 'literature' EVER AGAIN, I will run screaming down the hall.

EDIT: @LPPrince They thought this would be a bit of good PR.  Thus the timing.  Oh, the irony.  <_<

Guess they didn't want people asking why they wouldn't appear in ME3.

Now we're ALL going to be wondering, because this novel HAS to be disavowed from the lore.

They shot themselves in the foot.

"That much is certain."

This can't have gone through anyone's hands but one person's...one who didn't know what the hell they were doing...

If a bunch of fans can find continuity issues this fast, and if I could find enough continuity issues to fill my head to the point of bursting after 50 pages, this was NOT double-checked. At all.

Amazon.com Deception reviews are still go!

The three star reviewer dropped it too two stars and then deleted the review altogether. Very interesting.

Yeah - and the fact that one of those characters was a whole focal point and built up to the point where people were crying out for them to be a squad mate in ME3.

It just seems to make all three books totally redundant - I can't remember the last time I looked back after reading a series of books and thought "WTF was the point of that?"
