Is there a continuation of the hilarious comic based on the prologue that was titled Aelwf?


Chapter 1 was posted earlier in the thread. It's on the Mass Effect subreddit aswell.

In any case, how about that Deception?


I read on IGN that it's not being very well recieved.

12+3= 18   according to Dietz 

thats the best answer I can give without  really going to a rather long rant  with details.

12 + 3 (+3) = 18. The (+3) is his troll attempt to justify the mathematics of the ages of Gillian and Nick.

Have you read the Google doc on the OP? I think that'll answer your question.

I myself haven't read the whole thing yet, but a lot of people have.

Just shameless promotion...nothing more....Bioware probably wont ever say anything...their just gonna stay quiet until this movement runs out of steam and sweep it under the rug like it never happend. They are a corporation...thats what corporations do. They NEVER say anything that in any way, shape or form gives ppl reason to not buy their product. Be it an apology, saying you can ignore it, that it's not canon or w/e. Any answer that would satisfy us would say it's ok to ignore this product. Which for a corporation is simply not ok, no matter if they agree with our assesment or not.

It's disgusting business pratice...and I wish once in awhile a corperation would just own up to a mistake. Consumers are just another part of the quarterly statement at the end of the day, we may not like it...hell even they might not like it. But thats normally the most importent factor.

I really don't like to think about it like this...I would like to think Bioware is better then that...and actually care enough about their quality to say SOMETHING that actually relates to this.


That's why we can't stop until they release a statement. When people talk about one Bioware game, they normally bring up other Bioware games as well. Bioware is one of the few developers that can say that they have a dedicated fanbase to all of the games they make, not just one specific franchise. Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 have their flaws, but I had a ton of fun playing them. I love everything that has been released for Mass Effect up to Deception. My own cousin can't stop raveing about Jade Empire. KOTOR practicly saved the Star Wars franchise for the hardcore fans when the prequal films hit. Bioware is a developer that has always prided itself on releasing quality games and  tie-in material. The Mass Effect action figure line was canceled specifically because the quality of the product didn't meet Bioware's standards. As loyal customers and fans of Mass Effect and other Bioware products, we must demand a statement from Bioware. If we don't, it sends the message to Bioware and other developers that subpar tie-in material is acceptable, that the cannon of a 5 year old franchised can be changed on a whim from outside individuals. Bioware has worked hard to build its games and fanbase, and everyone who has posted on this forum has done so out of dedication to this franchise. On March 6th, Mass Effect 3 comes out, a game that everyone of us on this forum is eagerly waiting for. As we prepare to for the final fight against the Reapers, can we have everything we have worked so hard for be altered and tarnished by a contracted author who has clearly shown he doesn't care about this franchise at all? This is why Bioware must make a statement, because it's the right thing to do.

Here here Schwarzaj. That's exactly why we have to make sure it's known.

Send a REAL letter. I intend to.

Just a quick question. Has anyone else posted a review/comment on the B&N list webpage? I've posted three, from three different emails, and within an hour each one has been taken down.The first I thought might have been too long, but after greatly reducing the length of the review, they are still being taken down. I'm kind of surprised that only four people commented on it, given the number of people on this thread. Has anyone else had their comments removed?

Edit: Correction, this page.

My review is still there. That's strange that they're taking yours down. They're just asking for it!!! We need more reviews from the BSN.

Removed comments, eh? Not terribly surprising. They're trying to salvage sales, I'd guess. There might be something else to it, but from your description you haven't done anything wrong.

I never understood how would the other races accept an all human council, even if the council is dead and Shep is renegado, is like a coup.


They wouldn't. That's why Bioware wrote that out of the canon. The only way you can keep that feature in your canon is if you never play further then ME1.


Yeah, I always interpreted it as something Udina said in the heat of the moment, absolutely no one would have gone through with it.


This conversation is extraordinarily prescient.

Why bother? It's just someone's opinion, on a site that has no connection to Bioware or the publisher. The site likely has moderated comments. I captained the effort to kill all the product ratings we could, and we did. B&N has his book at a 2.5 star. That's the only place anyone needs to worry about posting a review to. All the other listings are close to a 1-star overall.

I'm waiting to review it until I'm done reading it. Rest assured that I'll be on amazon, B&N, and everywhere else once I am.

*Waves at Jeff* You make that OP even more awesome! I have directed so many people to it and they all tell me about how well-written it is. :D

Even apart from the irreconcilable lore errors, the writing is often clunky. 

The ending is awful. It essentially renders the other three books meaningless, and completely ends the chances of any more books with these characters.

Aw shucks. *waves* Doin' what I can. Thanks for linking! The more people who know about this, the better off the franchise will be in the future.

Glad to see they left the links to the doc at least. Maybe they think 4 is the perfect number of comments. I guess it doesn't matter that much compared to the others, I just wanted to bring it to everyones attention.
