Javi, your volume icon is showing.


That was intentional.

Drew, while not an award winning writer (or is he?), really showed respect to the lore and wrote books that were enjoyable and consistent, something we as fans can accept into canon.

Dietz, on the other hand, didn't.


Why didn't Drew continue? (I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but this thread is huge now)

Well a bit to that, but also Shepard's quote of "I got Better" coupled with the ludicrous idea that autism is simply a passing condition.

He was transferred to the SWTOR project.

Ludicrous isn't even a good enough word for it.

The volume icon is representative of mass effect fields.

The country I'm in at the moment doesn't like imageshack. :( 

Any chance of another upload? Subtle Shepard-based humour is the best kind!

Bioware: Ah yes. "Deception". The infamous novel that discarded all previous Mass Effect lore. We have dismissed that claim.

That's what we're aiming for: Deception's dismissal from the canon

He's been a novelist for decades, and still doesn't understand the basic structure of these things called "sentences"

I haven't, but there's much to be said about Halo: The Flood. Some like it, some absolutely hate it.

A lot of people tote it as the worst Halo novel ever made.

Its why I was worried almost a year ago when I heard Dietz was doing this novel.

And look what happened.

I was right.

Merely a what if. I can't even come up with an idea that could work anyway. XD



What other sites can we contact then?


Word of mouth matters, so big sites like IGN would be good targets.


Aren't big sites mostly in the pockets of big publishers? Seems doubtful they'd risk angering EA.

Yes. He does they. Just happen to be. Structured. Oddly is. All. Opened. Opened. Open.
