Oh I was laughing. I'm just really, really upset about that particular scene.

So are we all.

Agreed, but I'd expand that to us being upset with the whole novel, maybe barring the morgue scene.

I think would should have a "worst-written single line" contest in here. I'll submit this as a contender:

The Illusive Man’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a tone.

I would still go with :

“I’m sorry,” Kahlee replied, by which she meant she was sorry about the choices Gillian had made, the people she had killed, and the fact that she was dying.

Still cracks me up

Hang on, hang on!

Where's the one where Kahlee seduces Anderson by talking about "dessert?"

It was on here at some point.

Lmfao, Thats okay. We'll seduce Kai with cereal in ME3.

 And you should still complain to BioWare instead of giving them slack because "they are busy making ME3 great". The book shouldn't have gone public on this state. There's no excuse.

Absolutely. The vast majority of the noise has been directed at Bioware. They are the ones responsible, and the only ones whop can do anything to address this whole thing.

Ah, I got an error for the list: Why would the uber-racist Leng eat Salarian curry?

Because it tastes good? Food is one of those weird things that even extremists don't care about its origin.

Kahlee smiled as they strolled out into the artificial sunlight. “A naughty admiral. I like it. Come on,” she said. “I’m in the mood for an asari stir- fry tonight.”
He grinned. “And for dessert?”
“That,” Kahlee said, “is for me to know and for you to find out.”

That's clunky, but what makes it so truly awful is the fact that both of them just viewed a bunch of corpses in the C-Sec morgue.  It's like Grunt's line when you take him on Mordin's recruitment and come across the burning bodies:

"Anyone else hungry? No?"

Of course, that was done on purpose.

 Due to Deception, who do you want to kill more in Mass 3?

Harbinger, TIM, or Kai Leng?

What?! He's a food racist now?! That bastard!

Admittedly, comparing it with the rest, that's a very small concern. It's like Kai Leng trying to eat cereal while on an infiltration. It's (arguably) not within his established character, but then again, it's a very small detail when put beside the others that we already listed.

You know, he could really like his salarian curry. Just sayin'.

Just when I thought this book already entered the deepest realms of messing with the Characters Personalities THIS comes up...

How much out of Character can something be?

This is what's so much fun about posting these quotes. No matter how many times we do, there's always someone new who hasn't seen them before. And they are still funny, because they're just so ridiculous.

Dear god, and here I had managed to finally block that scene out of my mind....

That's true, I guess he did risk his entire mission to eat some of Anderson's special cereal

Harbinger still goes first, just so I can shut him up.

Then Kai Leng. But first I think I'm going to shoot off his fingers and tongue and toss him a bowl of precious cereal and a spoon.

Everyone can be a critic but not everyone can do a better job...

I wonder how much of this was a rush-job; you hear about very buggy games having been rushed out by publishers all the time. Perhaps this mentality has also affected books based on games?

[Yuoaman]

So yeah, if I can make it through a reading of the "dessert" scene without breaking out in laughter I deserve some sort of prize.

[didymos1120]

Speaking of awful quotes, I think this one has been kind of neglected:

That invitation was followed by one from a man who took Gillian’s elbow and tried to steer her into a side passage. “Hey, baby . . . Need a job? Your face ain’t much but that’s a nice body. I can line you up for six humps a day. How’s that sound?”

Someone should ask Mr. Dietz how he likes the general reception to his book.

The answer to that question is obvious, there's no need to ask it.

Plus, that'd be low.

Critisising his work is IMO ok. I don't think nobody forced him to write this novel and I bet that someone who is now living on the foodstamps in America could have done better work if ever got a chance.

However, going personal on him probably won't help achieving anything.

No spoons, I heard he is quite skilled with toothbrushes!

Seriously this book is way to preoccupied with Kai Lengs eating habits.. it's like he's been replaced with the Iron Chef and went on a rampage.

Oh god, that quote should not have made it into the book, even Dietz had to see that it was ridiculous.

Unfortunately there will be those who will be barraging him with worse questions. For those doing that, cut it out.

This is...it's...I just can't begin to...  WHY BIOWARE, WHY?

Think of this instead:

The
Priestess sighed, plucking Keleria by the back of her armour, only to promptly drop the tiny woman down the front of her robe where she easily settled between the girl’s breasts. Keleria immediately went quiet, seeming to lose all energy to complain about her situation. Ayuri smiled to herself, “you can stay there until you’re back to normal. Safest place I could think of right now.”

“I can appreciate that logic.”

But I can get away with that because it was a god damn outtakes chapter.
