Yup, he was designated to or left for the SWTOR project. One of the two.

Scheduling issues. He was writing a TOR book, while also doing work on TOR.

1st theory was correct.

Yeah I expect a lot of 1 star bashing on amazon when it officially comes out.
After stuff like this happens for a couple days will be lucky if we get a response from Bioware saying we screwed up.

This is going to be a neverending list, isn't it?

Compiled list:

Canon mistakes in ME: Deception

1. Gillian's autism - now she, by her own words, grew up from it, which is impossible.

2. Quarian's names - titling kvarian Fothar vas Maynar (and others) like Maynar means, you adressed them by name of their ship, not by their own name.

3. Gas suckers - quarians breathing air, their masks only looks like gas mask, their function is filtration of air.


I'm not going to post the whole thing, there are too many things listed. All I can say is The Flood should have warned someone of this guys skill as a writer. I have this on order from my local book store and I am now thankful I have enough points on my rewards card to only pay around a $1 for it. I think they should give me the book for free. It's sad, I really like reading Drew's books, why oh why didn't he write this one?....:(

True. Bad things happen when you read the novel in full.

Uh. It hasn't come out yet. And second don't expect me to come out with a review immediately after its out. It will probably take me 1-2 weeks.

I'm a very busy FYI so your lucky I've been able to talk to you for this long. I got like 30 mins left. ;)

Maybe strong negative reaction help prevent Dietz to write another ME book? And yes, there is one small clue about such intention, because at the end of Deception is one loose end specially mentioned in last dialog and is based only on Dietz character and his storyline.

We've convinced quite a few BSNers already to not pick this book up.

I'd say this thread still has a great purpose.

The Flood was a divine work of art compared to this.

There are several reasons why this thread is important.

Errors listed here can be posted to ME Wiki so people don't get all confused with the lore.

Then, sales. Stanly Woo said several times in other discussions that the best and practically the only way to change anything regarding ME games and other items in franchise is to vote with your wallet. More people buy Deception, more likely that we get Dietz to write another one.

Then, even Deception have it's unintentional humour value, it loses even that in the end. Those who were fans of certain characters are not going to like it for many reasons I can't put here, but this thread can also be good place to laugh at cereal killer jokes. If you paid attention to thread, someone who read the ending commented that he needed to get away from his computer for a while, he just felt that angry.

25. Batarian pirates raid slaves from the Turian homeworld of Pavalen - yeah, a bunch of no-name pirates managed to raid supplies and slaves from the homeworld of one of the strongest and most militaristic of races in the Mass Effect universe.


That one is not too hard to believe.  They were trailer park Turians.  Those guys get abducted all the time, and no one believes them.
