Thank you Sylvf and the other writers involved, I really loved the lore and how your choices mattered on the Tuchanka and Rannoch missions (must have been fun and difficult writing that dialogue, depending on what happened in ME2), and the little references (Shepard VI)!

[PMC65]

Amazing job on Liara! I tip my hat to you!

[Vovea]

The Geth Consensus was my favourite mission in ME3. The 'why a gun?' line was great. Oh, an VI Shepard. Loved it.

Okay, so now I've pieced together a lot of who wrote who in terms of squadmates. It seems to be:
John Dombrow: Garrus, Javik
Patrick Weekes: Tali, Mordin, 1/2 Legion
Sylvf (sorry, don't know your first name): Liara, Samara, 1/2 Legion
Mac Walters: Vega

Well, that's about half of them nailed down, anyway. Being able to fill in the blanks would be appreciated.

Do we know who wrote Kaidan and Ashley?
And just while we're on the subject of writing, what about Shepard? Was that a collaborative effort on everyone's part, or just one person?

I assume that whoever wrote a given character would probably have also written the Shepard half of the conversation as well.

Yeah I really loved the computer world.

Thanks for the kind words, all! Glad you enjoyed.

P.S. Does anyone know who wrote Garrus and Javik?

They were both written by John Dombrow in ME3 (With the exception of the Eden Prime mission, where you recruit Javik. That was Patrick Weekes). You may recognize John as the writer on the ME2 DLC, Overlord.

So you wrote Samara ME3? Can you PLEASE share if there is any more to come from her? Any more scripts to finish her romance that was left very unfinished in ME3? I mean that's the one thing I wanted to have resolved from ME2 in ME3 and it never was resolved!

[Whereto]

I have to say, I think Liara is one of the best written characters in the game, so GG Sylvf. You provided my favorite chapter in video gaming history, or maybe second cause wrex is just awesome.

[DragonRacer]

Oh, wow. I totally randomly stumbled onto this thread since it had a shiny "Bioware" tag on it.

And learned that some of my absolue favorite things in the game all came from you! I just finished up all the Rannoch missions yesterday and was BLOWN AWAY by the Geth Consensus. I want to hug all the geth, I really do. LOL And 1/2 of Legion, who's pretty much my favorite character?

And the Shepard VI (LOL). And that touching "memory box" scene with Shepard and Liara?

I officially  you, Sylvf.

[Sylvf]

I'd like to thank you all again for the kind words. They're very flattering!

Whoever writes a particular dialogue writes Shepard's lines as well. Mac W and our editors oversee Shepard's tone when they do passes on our writing, to ensure his/her voice remains consistent.

I wasn’t a writer on ME2, but as far as I know the never-to-be-requited attraction in ME2 was all that was ever planned in terms of a romantic relationship with Samara. She does acknowledge that it happened in a small way, however. There's one line in ME3, at the end of her conversation on the Citadel, that changes if Shepard tried to start a relationship with Samara in ME2.

It was! One thing that was actually really fun to write was the version of Legion who died in ME2 and didn’t remember Shepard, while Shepard remembered it perfectly. I enjoyed that dynamic a lot.

Thanks for insight, info and hard work Sylvf.

I guess I should thank you for unforgetable Liara's gift? For me that scene is most amazing representation of friendship.

Also thanks for awesome monastery mission. I love Kaidan's "Sorry, I tripped" line on that quest. Other than that it is only mission pass full emotion even without tied character (Samara).

Any future projects you are working on currently? Not fishing for spoilers or anything. Just want to know if I can see your work in future projects (like Dragon Age 3 maybe?).

Glad you liked them, thanks! I can't state what I'm working on, but I am currently on the Dragon Age franchise team.

EDIT: Oh man, I fussed with this after someone quoted it. Now everyone will know I continually tweak my posts!

YAY!

You wrote Liara? As well as the Refund Guy and Shepard VI? Awesome!

[ElitePinecone]

Have to agree: Liara's time capsule scene was one of my absolute favourites in the game. Such a fantastic nod to a trilogy-long friendship (at least, in my game!), and I *loved* the tone of the responses. There's some fantastic writing about fatalism and the making of a hero in there.

Edit: Pronouns are... important.

I fcuking love (Liara) steak. Kudos for the great writing, time capsule scene was genius.

1) I know you've written Samara and Liara (great job on both) for ME 3. Did you do any other characters or quests?

Thanks. Here’s a brief list of what I’m responsible for (Spoilers in the form of mission names and reappearing characters, for those who haven’t finished ME3):

-In addition to the Monastery and Samara, the “Geth Consensus” and the “Rescue the Admiral” missions on Rannoch.

-Legion’s investigate conversation (the conversation you can keep returning to) on-board the Normandy.

-Everything Glyph chirps at you.

-Liara on the Normandy, Citadel, and London (Except the Matriarch Aethyta scene, and the clash between Liara and Javik post-Thessia. Those were Patrick Weekes and John Dombrow respectively.)

-About 1/3rd to 1/4th of the Citadel (Including Refund Guy and the Shepard VI. My finest hour.)

-All of the Galaxy At War asset descriptions, some planet descriptions (1/3rd to 1/4th of them?), more than half of the new gun descriptions, the e-mails and intel in Liara’s cabin, new armor descriptions, descriptions of those poetry books in the hospital gift shop...

Writers migrate over to systems like this once the bulk of dialogue creation is over.

I love you.

Will the Liara romance bug be fixed?

I know we already discussed this one, but I thought it would be OK to repeat it here for anyone curious. The bug occurs on a line during Liara's first conversation on the Normandy, that's supposed to check for the LotSB date-scene kiss . It defaults to the line you get if you romanced Liara in ME1, but didn't rekindle things in LotSB. It's a known bug, but I'm afraid I can't guarantee that it will be fixed. The only fortunate thing, really, is that the bug is retricted to a single line.

Oh! Looking forward immensely to whatever you bring to DA!

I loved so much of the material included in ME3 but after crosschecking with the parts you listed earlier in the thread as having worked on, I was pleased to see that some of my favourite ME3-moments (as well as LotSB) seem to have stemmed from your pen. Thank you especially for Liara's friendship path! And for the incredible monastery/Samara mission, wow! 

I love all the different aspects of the ME franchise for many various personal reasons, and it was particularly the sci-fi aspect of the story that brought me onboard once upon a time, but I have to say what really floored me in this last game was the emotional material from you and the rest of the writers! Feel free to tell them I said so. You're all so incredible and inspiring!

Geth: "We are not Legion...."

Shepard: I think you said something in there about not being Legion?...

Geth: No doubt!

Shepard: This interview is over.

Geth: I'm a boss!

Shepard: No, no you aren't Legion so you can't be a boss... get out of my ship please.
