Kai Leng breaks-and-enters, eats cereal, and kills a human wearing krogan skins with a magic knife.

Oh yes, what a badass.

I wrote a Kai Leng tidbit where he threatened to sell Shepard's child over to the Illusive Man after he killed Shepard. I think I did it better.

Likely the lack of milk.

Then again, one dude on youtube had like 9 different types of cereal in his pantry and no milk.

You can't explain that.

Oh yeah, he says something to the effect of, "The Illusive Man will raise him as his own, and he will be the heir to a new, human-dominated galaxy!" At which point, Shepard has a p*ssed and Charges Kai Leng, getting his butt whooped.

Nope. No child-stealing here. Just cereal-eatin'.

...what? The action figures are nothing special, the comic books are ok but Deception is simply terrible. Not sure what this has to do with the actual video game which is made by different people entirely. I really need to stop expecting logic in these discussions.

Well if you like the Mass Effect action figures, Mass Effect comics, save for Invasion, and then you like this novel. We have nothing more to talk about.

Sometimes "Too many cooks spoil the broth"

As it happened with the novel series. What started with a dream-come-true novel of Drew, the next one failed miserably to catch up. It's not a matter of quantity of editor(s) but the quality.

Seriously, in my opinion (no offense to anyone) the story/plot which thickened at the end of Mass Effect was considerably diluted in Mass Effect 2 (except for the LoTSB and Arrival). Sorry if I have hurt anyone.

Moreover, I remember that Deception is a crucial junction point between "what has happened so far" and "what is going to happen", probably with why-s and how-s. On that note - we see one main character (Gillian) dies out-of-blue
while the ascension and retribution were probably revolving around Gillian with Kahlee and David as other protagonists (well, may be I am wrong about Kahlee and David being "other protagonists" when in reality I should have said they were the real protagonists) but let us take out Gillian out of the Mass Effect universe for a moment - now can tell me whether there were any absolute necessity of ascension and retribution???

So at this point, if someone assumes that something eerie (like it or not) will be happening to any of the main characters in the MAss Effect 3 can you tell him/her to be irrational and whining moron?

He washed it. 

The adrenaline rush was eating the cereal then meticulously cleaning up so that nobody would ever know he was there. 

Because the apartment was his, now, you see.

I vote Kai Leng takes out a turian with a cereal bowl. And a krogan with a spoon. Simultaneously. Just for "teh lulz." If you're gonna do something bad, might as well not half-@ss it.

this is probably all Anders' fault. first he gives Vega his cat, now this. It could explain all the canon discrepencies. Anders' filthy apostate magic probably created some sort of vortex that ripped time and space. thankfully it only affected one set of alternate dimensions and not the main continuity.

ITS ALL STARTING TO MAKE SENSE!

I disagree but that's fine. You are making that judgement after playing the game. What I'm sick of is people pre-judging the game and jumping online and whining and nerdraging constantly about the most stupid things.

Can we please keep the "ME3 Bashing" out of this thread and instead focus on the thing that we know with absolutely 100% certainty is total garbage? <_<


My friend, if you have been paying any attention at all, this should be a screaming, flashing preview at what ME3 will be like.

Why? Because Dietz wrote Mass Effect 3? Are you high?

Uh...No. This is a pretty good indication of whether or not BioWare even cares enough about the IP anymore.

This is like the one book I actually pre-ordered, something i never do because I like to skim the book before I buy it, which I could've accidentally clicked pre-order....in which case, at least this thread is full of awesome.
