Imagine the Dairy Queen Jim Cornette incident but with Drew Karpyshyn as Jim Cornette and William C. Dietz as the Dairy Queen employee.

Rofl.


Now I can't stop laughing  :lol:


Jim Cornette becoming a Mass Effect fan and ranting about the novel would be the greatest thing that ever happened to the internet!

Halo, now Mass effect, think Dietz is trying to make a name for himself? u know? for being bad?


Ironically, Dietz previously made a good name for himself writing military SF (in his own universe).  He was always a midlist writer, however.  It was his shift to working on the IP of others that his writing became more questionable.


Because like many writers, he has the arrogance to think he doesn't need to adjust his style to that of the series he's writing for.  Just a quick day of research, then it's off to hyper-space and berylium slugs.

Just so much hubris.  A great author could come in and you shouldn't be able to tell the diference.

It honestly feel likes he was handed a rough guide to the universe, but then rather than contact the writers when an issue came up, he just made something up without realising that the answer was already out there somewhere.

Well, BSN 99% at least. The fan reaction outside of here will be interesting.

But they are really good! (COuld be because I seem to watch this particular scene again and again. Still haven't found the reason for the actual LORE/LAW/ROAR at the end of it though...)

You are right of course, it would probably be better to just link to the Pics/Gifs instead of embedding them... ^_^

Honestly, I just want Bioware to come out with it, disavow it, and put this all behind us.

Ergh.

its probably something like when valve fans got uppitty about tf2 going free. most people wouldnt care, but then again, the people who do care, come from the same pool who would've bought this book.

See you get a better author and re-write  the whole book. Because disregarding it as established canon means that it can exist in AU and  No this crime againist fiction needs to wiped completely clean.  


I'm sorry, but expecting this is completely unrealistic. Even naive.

Maybe, just MAYBE they'll do that.  But if it means that one less copy will be sold, I doubt it.  Sadly, look at the threadviews we've got...something like 24k?  I'm pretty sure taliphiles have twice that, so, yeah...........

If they can't quite manage this, then I hope they say that game and codex canon supercedes all book canon that questions it.
