Other than being the guy who created the Mass Effect universe do any of the writing credits go to Drew?

I don't remember seeing him in the credits.

[Dark_Caduceus]

Don't think he did.

[Yuoaman]

Maybe some of the original concepts of things, but he didn't actively write any of it.

[Inker19]

While he was the lead writer for ME1 and co-writer for ME2, it was really Casey Hudson and Preston Watamaniuk that played the biggest roles in 'creating' the Mass Effect universe.

By what i know
He left me2 to work on tor and then left Bioware.

"Personal Projects" or something like that.

[StabGuy]

He said he didn't, on his blog.

[MichaelSD]

After having finished the game, I can say he obviously did not.

It shows that's for sure. I know he worked on the ME novels and they were really good. If he'd written the game it probably would have ended better.

[LPPrince]

He did not. It shows.

He is mentioned in the credits, in the "Special Thanks to the following" list, which also includes the names of people such as Holly Conrad.

So, how long until you guy's start complaining that he should have been involved, and start saying that he's the only reason mass effect was any good, and conveniently forget how his books took a bashing here on the forums.

Honestly, this is like the 5th thread on this forum with the same topic in the last 2 days.

No Drew Karpyshyn left BioWare mid-February and he himself said that he had no involvement with ME 3 at all. His last work with BioWare was for TOR.

His books weren't bad at all. I think there was some complaints because Drew tried to expand the ME universe away from the Shepard perspective for the universe and at the time, people felt annoyed by a SW-like Expanded Universe to the series. Sure not all of his writings were good (he did write a lackluster book on Darth Revan) but compared to the other writers that BioWare uses for their main story writers, he is probably one of the best and one of the most memorable out of them. The only other person that did a stellar job in writing a good BioWare tale IMHO is the guy that wrote DA: O.

Is it the WAY COOL SUPER CYBER NINJA that gave it away?

EDIT: For the record, I've only played the games, never read the comics or books, so I really don't know who's responsible for importing their Deus Ex character into Mass Effect, but it's a tonally inappropriate character.

That's actually funny, Tang McGame, because he was a prominent character in one of Drew Karpyshyn's M.E. novels, Retribution. So, yeah, your argument is invalid.
