I wonder what Dietz's reply is to all this negative feedback over the ME:Deception book. I'm certainly pissed it turned out the way it did.

If I found out where Dietz lived I would steal all his cereal and ****** in his vases.

We had talk of a fan audiobook getting uploaded earlier. How's that going?

First I've heard of this since I've been away, but I would totally sign up for it!  I don't have a good voice or mic but that low quality would perfectly match the tone of the book!

Heck, I'm getting tempted to upload a review - in the form of another Wrex rap.

As for Dietz's response: he liked the book, says he's proud of it

What sort of weapon had an attached silencer? Type and manufacturer and name, if possible.

Let's stay civil know.  We want to focus our anger on the book not the man.

We should get Tommy Waiso to do the voice of Kai Leng or the narrator.

So did Casey Hudson. Well, minus the "proud" part.

It's pretty much made not to have to add the few dying characters to ME3.
A few factors removed that the writers didn't want to deal with with Drew gone, I guess.

But what's stupid is that we didn't need a book just to kill off those characters.

They could have done a number of things. For one, Nick's story could have ended in Retribution. It's not like we needed to know what happened to him.

We could have simply never learned what happened to Gillian. Maybe nothing more then just a reference in ME3 from Sanders that "She's probably somewhere with the Quarians. I hope she's alright". And that's it.

Or an even better story would have involved the Idenna being attacked and destroyed by something, forcing Gillian in an escape pod, and then forced on the run from Cerberus again. Instead of a revenge plot that goes nowhere.

They didn't have to involve Anderson, Nick, Sanders, and Aria if they weren't going to use them, beyond exposition and death.

Oh my! I just got back from replaying Arrival and we're dangerously close to the round number!

You busy bees!

Well it looks like my streaming stuff is working fine, audio quality's poorer than I would like - but there doesn't seem to be any noise-canceling but it's manageable.

[izmirtheastarach]

Since Gillian wasn't supposed to get back till 2188, why bother to mention anything at all. They could just have left it all alone.

Indeed he would do a good job

This. This story, as it is, didn't need to be told and accomplished precisely nothing.

None of these character's deaths are meaningful in any way, nor are the things they do. It seems this book was solely created to kill everyone off in order for them to not influence future works. Or worse.

As someone who loves said characters, this book is an atrocity.

But the man is a part of the formula, Bioware said hey write our book, he said okay, and out of utter lack of knowledge of actual lore, we ended up with a novel that is awful, also Volus not wearing fully enclosed helms, I call shenanigans.

Yeah, not one single event in this book needed to happen for Mass Effect 3 to make sense, everything that will affect the game at all are things that anyone can reasonably infer, this was just a waste of our time.

They didn't knew Drew would leave to write for KOTOR when Retribution was penned. I think plan was that Drew would write also the fourth book but then things didn't went as planned.

They might had a contract with a publisher about fourth book already and dealed with it by hiring Dietz. At the same time they probably decided to end certain characters storylines.

Agreed. What happened to the characters is the absolute worst part of the whole thing for me. I know a lot of people could care less, but I actually LIKED those characters ffs.

This kind of reminds me of "Revan", only with not as interesting characters.

See, there were no mention about what happened with exploration mission that was kinda big deal. There were no reason to bring Gillian back but to get rid of her.

Should I do each chapter?
