[What a Succulent Ass]

I'd like to think that we're doing this because we care about the quality of our gaming experience, no matter what it reaches to or whatever forms it takes.

Honestly, I was never really invested in the previous instalments, and the fact that Dietz just couldn't be arsed to Google search is more of a chronic annoyance than an outrage. Bad writing of this magnitude, however, makes me butthurt.

So I's mad.

Pretty much.

No, seriously. I sometimes wonder what's going on in the mind of a so-called 'normal' person.

This comment is awesome and you should feel awesome.

IGN article? Huh, neat.

Maybe we'll finally get a proper response.

Jeff seriously needs to update the OP with this.

He will. I have already sent him a PM about it.

That's not all, from what I can glean from such comments it seems some don't even bother looking at the doc.

Has there been any kind of Bioware response to this yet? I can't believe they're just ignoring it as if the whole thing isn't happening :L

[JeffZero]

Just received news of the fantastic new coverage our collaborative efforts have brought about. I'll edit the OP when I get home from school later, rest assured.

Thinking at this rate I might want to re-organize the post to build a comprehensive list of the various websites covering our efforts. Expect a format change by the end of the day.

Had a sec to read IGN's excellent article. You folks really make me proud to be a fan of this great series, in all its ups and all its... Well, this.

Prince said they are probably under ordered silence and that is probably what it is.

[M.C.Tales]

I was going to order Deception, but I saw the reviews and how the book violated established lore so many times. Having now read the spoilers as well, I'm glad I didn't, as I would have been in for disappointment and tears for the deaths of certain characters (and would have facepalmed at Kai Leng's antics).

ddv,

I'm working as fast as I can, I assure you. Full-time college and part-time work and public transportation all limit my time significantly.

That made him a bore, not to mention unexceptional, but he was just fine with that.

Nope, no official response yet. But don't worry, if things continue at this rate, there will be a response real soon, otherwise they will receive so much negative attention, that it will be bad for business.

It's a question of internal consistency, I think. 

I mean, the universe already has magical element zero, biotics, various alien species and super-advanced technology. Since it's never been proven that enough time, money and resources can't bring a sufficiently preserved body back to life, in the universe of Mass Effect, I'm willing to suspend disbelief and accept that it can occur. That's not even mentioning the ambiguity: several characters including Shepard seem to suggest the Commander wasn't technically 'dead' when they were recovered. We know Liara found the body in this state:

"The drell, named Feron, tells Liara that Shepard's body had been recovered in a stasis pod, and is "neither dead nor alive""

But Palaven? 

A 100-year old batarian slave ship with no stealth technology planning, executing and escaping from a slaving raid on the turian homeworld, in the presence of the most powerful military in Citadel space and on a planet where every citizen over the age of 15 has had rigorous military training?

Another poor soul has been saved. Glad to be of service! :innocent:

Good job. Misogyny is always classy.

They are. I'm sure of it at this point. Too much is pointing towards it.

Karin's comment on my facebook page, the lack of comments already, the lack of an official response, the monitoring of our thread, the spread of our efforts-

No WAY they are allowed to talk about it yet.

They are without a doubt in my mind under an order of silence.

The Turians are a species where serving in the military provides citizenship. So everyone has received military training at the very least, and they have the biggest fleet in the galaxy (ignoring the quarians.)

And Batarians, shunned by the galaxy, beaten and downtrodden...manage to pull of a slave raid on the Turian homeworld?

That's not breaking the suspension of disbelief. That's tapdancing on it with anvils. <_<

Yeah, and with a 100 year old freighter... with which they were only able to get one slave who just happened to be a general or something.

Because that's so reasonable.

That still doesn't mean it is imposible to happen, unlikely yes, but not imposible.

Please kindly keep misogynistic comments the heck outta our thread.

[LPPrince]

And if y'all don't mind, I'm ordering you all to get this thread to 400 pages.

That is, if you want to. I know I do.

Nope. They seem to be ignoring EVERYTHING.

[HiroVoid]

I like that IGN actually pointed out the bigger things wrong with the book rather than the more nit-picky stuff.

[Fenris_13]

So besides the cereal eating, did Dietz manage to portray Leng similiarly like in Retribution?

The deaths were the worst, for me. So wooden, so stilted and so pointless. None of them were necessary and all of them came about because the characters were behaving in completely stupid ways that didn't fit with the personalities we know.
