400?!
EDIT: Oh hell yeah. B)

EDIT REDUX: Seriously though, very happy.... And strangely proud of BSN for pulling this together. Its nice to see a 400 page thread not swamped by "Your character's stoopid, and you're stoopid for liking them!"

I know, but we don't want to get to the point where we're using personal attacks.


Yes. We know nothing about him except the quality of his writing, so that's the only thing we should be attacking.

They didn't knew Drew would leave to write for KOTOR during 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.

[/quote]  

even still one would think there  would be  notes and outlines  some what in places  for the fourth installement.  Evven if it was general they could have sent Drew and Email or a text. " hey know you busy with KOTOR but if you have any notes or anything your working for on for next book  could we get them for reference for new author coming in."  

Its like that there was not communation between the two parties... matter of fact..I'm willing to beat there was no communication between parties. 


400 pages

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.


Agreed

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.

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


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.

I know, but we don't want to get to the point where we're using personal attacks.


Not a personal attack,  he wouldn't even see it coming I'd just sneak in there like the great cereal caper. B)

Irony:

“You’re very forthcoming,” T’Loak said with only a trace of sarcasm. “And I appreciate that. However, even though the operational data is no longer accurate I’m looking for historical information. And history is what it is. The Illusive Man can’t change that.

A tribute to 400 pages....

(skip to 1:40 and read the following)

“The Deception rampage was (far from) over. Four days later, writer William Dietz was dismissed when fire swept across the pages of his ‘novel.’ But on that glorious day in February 2012, the BSN worked harder, faster, and better than any other forum–400 complete pages; it was the last time such cooperation would occur on the boards. And for a brief moment, JeffZero, LPPrince, JoeLaTurkey, ArcadianLegend, etc., became the greatest forumites anyone had ever seen!”


....or just my boredom+this thread+repharsed movie quotes.

Why didn't Karpyshyn write it? He's an amazing author and the previous books were a really good read. He wouldn't mess this up.

-Edit: Nevermind, just saw that he had no time due to working on Star Wars. I'd rather he stayed on ME rather than SW. F you BioWare. So good at ruining things these days.

I love this. I thought some of what you were saying was made up, until I read the preview. And the aforementioned rage comic.

This is the best thing that has come out of all of this. You have made my day. It's outrageous. Volus is doing whip-its.

Oh, jeez. And now the ME music kicks in. Hilarious.
