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


He is still male. I think. I hope.


I'm sure there's more to him than that...

You are misinterpreting the silence.

They aren't ignoring it-

They CAN'T talk about it.

They are under an order of silence until further notice.

They are currently discussing the best course of action.

Damage Control meetings.

Its getting more and more serious as the days pass by- before it was just on the forums, and even THEN they were aware of it(at least Karin Weekes was, and she said she couldn't comment on it then).

Now its EVERYWHERE.

Just relax, and keep posting. Heh.


So basicaly KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON? :P

It is amazing though, how they are still in silence. They really don't know what to do about this, when the answer is right there.

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.


Don't get too greedy when we finally reach that number...


The goal is always to reach the next hundred pages.

We'll keep it up. We have to. Let them know that we still care and we're not getting lazy about it.

This operation is worthless if we just stopped talking about it.

It has to be continuous for us to have any bearing on Bioware, even with all the attention we've been getting.

If we can't get this thread stickied, we can pseudo-sticky this thread by keeping it active.

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. 


That's what got me the most fueled up over this. The deaths are totally meaningless and have little weight to them. Like they're just trowing a scrapped piece of paper on a basket. And then, not a page later, they're all fine and dandy and going about like nothing even happened.

Because he sharpens a tooth brush to a shank and kills someone

Oh, there was one excellently written scene where he infiltrated a morgue, hired two mercs to help him then substituted one of them, still alive, for the body he was tasked to steal. *That* was probably the best scene in the book, and definitely showed us a glimpse of Kai Leng as a ruthless killer. 


Holy crap, something good in this piece of poop? Color me surprised! No, really!

Sad that it doesn't make it better though.

You all know Kahlee sucks and it has nothing to do with her being a chick, but nice deflection attempt.

You seriously don't know, or are you pulling our legs? :P It's a reference to how he used a sharpened toothbrush to kill Gillian.

The thread should easily reach 1000 pages. I wonder if Bioware will actually do something.


It would look really bad if they just ignored this.

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


Nope. They seem to be ignoring EVERYTHING.

They'll either stay silent or "announce" something soon and are currently planning on how they are going to proceed with this.



Essentially, Bioware is a company. They can't make steps that would make them look worse than they look now.
Which is why if this fiasco continues any further, they will have to respond in SOME way.

...it's still funny that if they had stopped this by declaring the book non-canon as soon as the first flames appeared, they would not suffer from this international issue. Should have responded eariler. :mellow:

Not enough to redeem the thousand things wrong with it.

I just hope that this hasn't caused many to cancel their ME3 preorder, because that would be simple stupidity.

Just a little quote from 2007:

Drew Karpyshyn: "[...] I’m confident Revelation will provide the kind of story Mass Effect fans will want in a novel – something that doesn’t negate their experience playing the game, but adds to the overall universe. "

I just wished Mr. Dietz would have used a similar approach :bandit:

Glad we're all still together under the same banner.

Deception needs to be renamed, "Mass Effect: Disavowed"

Alright guys, I'm off to my Shotgun Iniltrator playthrough, but I'll be sure to check in every once in a while and help this thread reach the 400 page mark today.

KEEP IT UP.

Cancelling of orders should be for Deception only, no other item of the ME franchise should be affected.
