Also, you know, it was a Mass Effect pajama


fixed :P


Fixed Image IPB


Actually all of you are wrong, because it was really a hoodie.

And hell, if I was the one doing the book burning and it was cold out(as he said it was), I'd of worn my N7 armor hoodie. Not the same one he has(mine doesn't obscure my face), but there you go.

Their own writers were presumably busy writing games, or simply not novel writers

While really good authors don't want to do computer game tie in books.


Drew Karpyshyn was the lead writer on Mass Effect 1 and 2, as well as Revelation, Ascension and Retribution. Not to mention his Star Wars: Darth Bane series, or Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan. I would say he's a pretty good novelist, considering we all have Mass Erections for this game :D

He's a very good video game writer, which doesn't mean he's a very good novel writer.

Better than Dietz, of course, but I guess he was doing other things.

I'm sorry but the Revan novel is crappy...yes it explains what happend...but it was a terrible cop out ending to one of bioware's greatest stories IMO.

What happened? I heard Revan has a canon now. Hope he or she does not look like a muppet. Revan was really badass with the mask, i hope he or she does not have a face.

Anyway, will have to send my book back to Amazon and ask for a replacement. I am glad I was still only at chapter 3.

Yeah, the end really upset me. They set up that awesome showdown, and then BAM! Everything goes wrong. But in Drew's defense, LucasArts probably forced that ending on him.

Will those of us who purchased the novel already get a replacement when the corrections are made? I'll even send in my error full version.

Not sure if it was posted yet, but now Game Informer has a story on the errors of Deception and Bioware's apology for the novel: http://www.gameinfor...vel-errors.aspx

I honestly don't understand why so many people were against canon Revan: It would nearly impossible to continue Revan's story in a cinematic way without giving him a solid charatcer. Drew has given Revan a strong, yet calm and collected personality that reflects the fact that he was both a Jedi and a Dark Lord of the Sith.

*Spoiler*

The fact that he was thrown in stasis and fed on by the Emperor is a little irritating, but there's a nice resolution if you play SW:TOR.

*Spoiler end*

Revan does have a face, and we do see it; taking the art style of the game into consideration, I think they did very well. He's handsome, but not extremely so, and has a nice dignified feel.

On topic....... Deception sucks, blah blah blah.

Maybe that's why Dietz had her autism mysteriously vanish.

Walking up to two armed Cerberus dudes in Ascension.. If they hadn't recognized her, she woul have been shot, how is that an intelligent thing to do? It's not like she KNEW she could kill them. She clearly wasn't in full control of her powers yet at that point. She also walked away from her hiding place when the Idenna cam under attack.. another dumb thing to do.

Finding all this was interesting, I haven't been keeping track of Bioware releases aside from TOR since the DA2 PR issues. Nice to see Bioware is willing to offer an apology, but personally I won't be impressed until they either strike the book from canon completely or rewrite it with a new plot.

There is too much wrong with it to fix, fundamentally, and I can't enjoy a book that kills off children to make me hate a bad guy that I already hate. It didn't make me hate him more, it just killed off some interesting characters that don't have 'ME3 story-shields'. Gillian might have been an interesting protaganist, Nick too, for future books. If they stick with the same plot, not anymore I suppose. And if we are going the 'grimdark' path with the side-material to the games I may not follow it anyway. I like Mass Effect because its a semi-serious Sci-Fi with interesting characters, not for a 10% survival rating for that cast. The prevous book was a little disturbing with what Gillian's father went through, but it was within tolerable limits. There isn't even the reason of 'keeping them out of the way for ME3's plot' since there is no compelling reason for Shepard to even meet them, not even getting into the fact that there are countless other ways to keep them 'busy' aside from death.

Hm, I wonder how Jack would fare against Leng. She is experianced in... well, pretty much everything. I doubt she would fall for his tricks. I have a mental image of her breaking his arms and legs with Biotics at a distance, while smirking, and a sharped toothbrush-shank falls from his limp fingers... but that might just be my twisted mind. Never the less, Shepard will be having a few words with Leng in ME3. And by words, I mean bullets to the knees. And by knees, I mean crotch. And by bullets, I mean the omnitool-knife. And that will just be my Paragon Shepard.

I still want to know WHAT exactly they plan on fixing, because they can't fully correct all the issues in the novel without completely revamping and rewriting the entire thing.

lets not forget that craptastic Exile bit...but I wouldn't really say it's ended well so far...considering the Empire FP you do regarding it. Very..."...srsly?..." type of thing imo. rather anti climactic. But yea I agree...TOR is handleing it well, Bioware had some large round spheres to add him to that experience.
